[New Video] A Kobudo Master Using a LONGSWORD?!

Hello everyone. Thank you for reading this article. I’m Shogo from Let’s ask Shogo, the interpreter of the online lessons and owner of this website.

Seki Sensei, the instructor of our online lessons, has 40+ years of experience in training with katana. However, he has zero experience with Western swords. I thought it’d be interesting to hand him a longsword and see how he would try to fight with it.

How Would a Samurai Master Fight with a Longsword? (Shocking Findings)

He discovered some techniques of our Ryuha style Asayama Ichiden Ryu will work if you use the longsword correctly. He also found out some effective ways to fight with and fight against the longsword using Kenjutsu skills. Please watch this video as you may have discovered a whole new way to use the longsword. Also, if you are a longsword practitioner, please share your thoughts in the comments section.

    This was a beautiful video for you guys to do. I really enjoyed watching sensei take to a new sword form with curiosity, discovering important differences and quickly adapting his technique to use its advantages. I think this was very well received internationally because it demonstrates both his open minded approach to other cultures and sword forms as well as his skill and experience in being able to adapt to the differences. The reactions seem overwhelmingly positive, many appreciating the unique perspective sensei brings and hoping he continues to experiment with the longsword and share his thoughts about it.

    I’ve always loved longswords (big anglophile!) as well as katana, and this was very fun to see Seki-sensei play around with one.

    I’m glad everyone seems to love the video, and hope to see more good-natured and educational discussions develop like this. A bright spot on the internet, to be sure!
