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.

👏Since we started our Asayama Ichiden-ryu Kobudo online lessons in March last year, the number of students has finally SURPASSED 100. Thank you all so much for your continued support. 

📣There have been times when we briefly exceeded 100 students, only to see the number fall below that threshold again shortly afterward. However, it has now been over a month since we crossed the 100-student mark, and we are approaching 110 students, so I wanted to share this news with you.

🎥This increase in students is due not only to more people enjoying our YouTube videos but also to our various efforts to create content for beginners to understand the basic techniques. This includes making detailed videos explaining Asayama Ichiden-ryu techniques and cutting out important scenes from weekly lessons for everyone to view.

👀Here is a video that explains in detail the “Batto Kihon” and “Tsumemokuroku,” which we practice at the beginning of every lesson:
