Seki Sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Asayama Ichiden Ryu and an 8th Dan Iaido master with 40 years of experience in Musō Shinden Ryu, is the best Sensei in Japan to learn from about katana techniques. Now, his lessons are available worldwide with Shogo’s (Let’s ask Shogo) perfect English interpretation. Even if you can’t participate in the lessons live, every class will be recorded and available to rewatch as many times as you like.
Katana skills require thorough explanation to understand fully
However many instructors lack knowledge or the skills to explain. Even if they could, interpreting it in English requires specialized skills.
Welcome to our online lessons, where a knowledgeable and experienced instructor and a professional interpreter are both available.
We are the only ones who can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about katana martial arts.
