By looking at this weapon, it might be difficult to imagine how to fight with it. But you’d be surprised to learn how powerful it is against a katana.
So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will explain the history and ways of fighting with the Tamagusari chain ball. This is a very rare video where you can see the actual fighting skills of the samurai’s secret weapon. Especially the final Kata is a shocking technique where you can carry the opponent on your back using the Tamagusari, so please watch till the end to find out.

I love the fact that koryu is still alive and your sensei is too!! Keeping the traditions alive is what it’s all about. Many thanks 🙏

@kohikan5180 Год назад

I studied the chain weapon as Mariki Gusari, and it is quite formidable. The training can easily apply to a piece of cord or rope lying around or items such as belt or necktie.

@CtrlAltRetreat Год назад

You mean the Manriki Gusari? that version generally has a much longer chain doesn't it?

@josefbajarias3109 Год назад

Im looking at the chain i use for my dog..

@mysteriousdeath14400 Год назад

The Chinese nine-section whip chain is also quite similar, though longer. I carry my keys on a Paracord lanyard with a snap loop that releases, and carabineers on each end. Lighter than a full weapon, but still workable and far more discrete.

@markfergerson2145 Год назад

The triple version used by police in historical Japan is very similar to a weapon used by pre-Columbian peoples in parts of South America. It is called bolas and consists of three leather straps attached to three leather-wrapped stones. It was used to hunt large animals and in warfare before Europeans came, and by cattlemen, soldiers and police afterward. It is still used for hunting.

@JKa244 9 месяцев назад

I had a toy version of this as a kid (golf balls on the end of ropes) and it was a lot of fun but took months of practice to self teach how to throw and wrap things without hurting myself. This was in the US - bolo(how I was taught to call it) are surprisingly well known

@Diobrando-no1wy 7 месяцев назад

It is also known as Boleadoras

@WizardOfAtlantis Год назад

Wonderful to see! I've been a big fan of chain weapons since i was a kid so this video was a pleasure to watch. It's called Kusarifundo as I learned this weapon. Once again Seki Sensei's mastery is very apparent as he manages the Tamagusari. Such a lively weapon does not forgive your mistakes. :) Thank you very much!

@ManLikeKitch Год назад

Seki sensei's assisstant is brave letting him display these moves. When he was showcasing the neck snap from the unarmed combat video, I was sweating 😅

@ShinKyuubi Год назад

I actually have a similar weapon I bought years ago...I'm talking early teens here. I own a Manrikigusari that has octagon weights on each end. It and a half dang dozen foam nunchaku I've bought over my 3 decades of life have shown me just how dangerous and also powerful flexible weapons can be if used right...or wrong.

@robpelarde4734 Год назад

Right on , been there done that 👍

@Dosetsu1 Год назад

I've trained with a similar weapon, the Kusarifundo, in the Bujinkan. One thing I really like about this type of weapon is that the skills can be used for various flexible objects such as cord, rope, jackets, etc. For anyone new to this type of weapon, a big part of training is to not hit yourself. A good part of this is that it forces you to move properly so you don't get hit with your own weapon.

@artistpenguin5890 Год назад

Thank you so much for another treasure of a video! I train with multiple flexible weapons, so this was a real treat!

@aphyder83 Год назад

This was fantastic, Best video to date!

@s.owl9 8 месяцев назад

Its so good that he explained that one must stretch the tama-gusari at the moment of impact to create a rebounding effect, otherwise the attack would push right through the block. I was skeptical of blocking with the chain at first, because I didn’t know about that technique.

@lastnamefirstname8655 Год назад

i've never seen a chain ball weapon being used in real life ever before, so this was cool. thanks seki-sensei!

@satisfiedskullservant Год назад

That was an unbelievably interesting on a historical weapon I've personally never heard of. I would love to see some of these techniques performed at full speed just to see them properly in action.

@blindcrow849 Год назад

I usually tell to students of my school that's a bit like a flexible hanbo.

@Braindazzled Год назад

Thanks again! Your videos are always so informative and also very well video'd, so they are very understandable. Ive always been interested in this weapon, and it also reminded me of jodo, which I have a little training with.

@deadscaredits Год назад

These techniques have given me some ideas of how to apply it to my rope dart techniques, thank you for yhe videos they are amazing!

@eileenfabri5497 2 месяца назад

Hey brother Shogo, the 3 section tamagusari, in the west we call them, "Bolo," and have used them for a couple of centuries. Love your videos brother!

@mikerouch416 Год назад

Thanks for the catching technique and the block method. It seems obvious after learning it.

@Dosetsu1 Год назад

In the USA some martial arts suppliers refer to the weights as "spikes" due to confusion over the first book on the topic in English, "Spike and Chain" by Charles V. Gruzanski. The book mostly deals with the Manrikigusari from Masaki Ryu and has a small section at the end on shuriken, but apparently they did not actually read the book and thought the Manrikigusari was called a "spike and chain."

Wonderful informative video about chained martial art weapons, love watching these. While it is similar to a bo and jo staff i would love to know more about the 'yari' spear or the 'jumanji yari' which is up high on my favourite weapons list.

@motepral34 Год назад

my favorite weapon is the three section staff, it is very interesting to see your comparison between the staff and tamagusari, i can see that comparison with the three section staff too, i wish your ryuha had that weapon...

@AJScraps Год назад

So cool looks straight out of a fighting game 🔥

@mangeybum1443 Год назад

Very cool! Chain weapons are super fun, I like to train with a dog leash. Personally I notice a lot of similarities with nunchaku. I have a homemade 3 sectional nunchaku that behaves in a very similar fashion, but it still maintains a lot of what makes the nunchaku unique. Its my favorite weapon I have and I made it myself =] I would love to see Seki Sensei demonstrate the nunchaku. Pardon me if I am ignorant of something, but it seems like a weapon he would be familiar with

@acrowsnest_t6630 10 месяцев назад

I do kendo and found infront of some thai massage parlor, free theraputic bands. They were slim, 1.7m long bands, with around 50 mini steel beads. You could also "fold" it in the middle and adjust range therefor. Or put knots into it to increase damage. Was super fun figuring out a basic strike with that and thought this is kinda usefull for self defence.. as long as you go for their face. Stung my skin to see how much it hurts, wasnt fun. The mechanics of chain balls seem really engaging and somewhat limiting by trying not kill yourself, but that prob brings alot of creativity!

In society in general regardless of time period, we are forced to be in closer proximity to other people which makes concealing weapons more practical. It would be interesting to see more concealed weapons used by the samurai or maybe ordinary Japanese people.

A heavy motorcycle locking chain with lock on the end would be a serious weapon! I got one for locking my e-bike and I just realized it's potential.

@vksasdgaming9472 8 месяцев назад

@@znail4675 No doubt about it causing nasty wounds on hit (even bike chain scratches nastily), but after brief experimentation I found bicycle chain too awkward and if motorcycle chain is similar it applies to as well. That uneven bending is really unpleasant. Regular chain with weighted ends is good enough if concealment is most important or nunchaku if more raw power is needed.

@Meepo316 8 месяцев назад

From how he throws the weapon, wouldn't that be telegraphing your movement to your opponent. At 3:50, he starts with the step and underhand throw motion that would make it very easy for someone to guess what he was about to do. Wouldn't that take away the element of surprise? I ask this with all due respect, but as a person trained in western martial arts, this seems to be a bit complicated and difficult to maneuver compared to another concealed weapon like a knife. Also it seems like when he does the demonstration he doesn't teach the counter to the weapon. Thats a little strange. I understand this weapon can be very deadly, but chain weapons are always a danger as much to the user as the opponent.
