Why you should choose our online lessons

POINT1

A Rare Ancient Style with 400 Years of History

Asayama Ichiden Ryu was born at the end of the Sengoku war era (1467~1615) in Japanese history. It’s a rare style that strongly reflects the fighting methods in samurai armor.

POINT2

Earning Official Dan ranks

By passing exams held two times a year (March and September), you can earn official Dan ranks (first to fifth) and certificates to prove it. You can also participate in the annual training camps held in Japan.

POINT3

Shogo interprets everything perfectly in English

Shogo from “Let’s ask Shogo (1.8M subs)”, who is a student of this Ryuha himself, will interpret everything in English perfectly. If you have any questions for Seki Sensei, he will be happy to help anytime.

POINT4

Archived Videos are Free to Rewatch Anytime

Even if you miss a class or the regular lesson time doesn't fit your schedule, every lesson will be recorded for you to rewatch as many times as you like. Whenever you join our online lessons, you can access all the previous lessons to catch up on the classes anytime.
