Why I’m Starting a Brand New Channel for 2023 | Great News for Budo Lovers

▼My New Channel: Let’s ask Seki Sensei | Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu▼
Are you a Japanese budo martial art lover watching this video? Then I am now running the best channel for you to learn more about samurai, katana, and budo martial arts from a Kobudo master who is running a 400 year old Ryuha. Our goal is to achieve 100,000 subscribers by the 2023, so please check it out!

▼Please support me through Ko-fi (a donation platform like Patreon)▼
The management (filming, editing, etc.) of the new Asayama Ichiden Ryu's English Channel "Let's ask Seki Sensei" is completely my voluntary work. If I am not able to pay for the expensive bullet train fare from Kyoto to Ibaraki Prefecture (where the main Dojo is located), and hotel/filming expenses, this activity will cease. Please help us spread and preserve this 400-year-old martial art. In return, I will try my best to create the most educational and exciting content about Japanese Kobudo.

▼The BEST online katana shop for martial arts (Iaido, Kendo, etc.): Tozando▼
Everything I use for my katana training is bought at this shop! I still use the first training katana I bought in 2016, and it is still in good shape!

▼The recommended online katana shop for decorations and cosplay: Mini Katana▼

I’m so excited for the new channel and seeing your dreams coming closer to reality! We’re all here for you Shogo!

[DavidCruickshank]

Remember you can't make "every Japan lovers’ dream come true" if you pass out from overworking. I trust Harumi will make sure you take breaks when needed 😅😅. 頑張って

[argo]

I admire your passion for preserving your culture. I visited Kyoto for a day in 2015 ( sadly only one day of our 10 day trip!). I love places with lots of history. I felt I could have spent the whole 2 weeks in Kyoto and still not seen everything I wanted to. Congratulations on the safe arrival of your new little boy, and I wish you all the best with your 2023 projects! You have a lovely family and I'm glad to know they are your priority. Happy new year!

Looking forward to another great year 8

Since we started watching your channel we have enjoyed your content and allowing us to share and follow you, Harumi and your wonderful family's lives.
Your new channel Lets ask Sensei is a dream come true and now because of your wonderful work we can enjoy it in English. And he is worth it, he is definitely the real deal! We got really excited when you were going in the Dojo. Would feel so brilliant to walk in there. But we will be checking your Learning Japanese channel as well.
I don't think you need me to remind you to take a break, but I understand your drive.
Thank you so much for all you do. It makes it easier with love and support you get from Harumi. Take care. Stay safe 🙏
Kate and John (England)

[jennybrown]

From one language teacher to another, I wish you a deeply rewarding and heart-filling experience teaching and sharing the beautiful Japanese language with your students.

EXCELLENT news about the ‘Ask Seki Sensei’ channel. I love his style and have wanted an english translation for a while. Keep up the great work Shogo. Congratulations on the new baby.

Lots to look forward to in 2023! You are inspiring as always.

Hello Shogo Sounds like a busy year!! Don't forget to sleep and eat.

[seekertosecrets]

9:37 Sounds like a movie shoot you are going to do! Don't forget to take some rest time while you are doing this.
12:38 I really hope you can find some sort of balance because that's a lot to do this year.

[Ronaldl]

The new content coming is going to be great! Thank you for wanting to share all of this knowledge and content.

Happy New Year to you Shogo and to your family. Prayers for a prosperous new year for you and your family. I am looking forward to seeing all the new videos and podcasts that you will be making. Do you and Harumi have a favorite New Year's food?

[arthurcab]

Congratulations on the new big project, Shogo! As a budo enthusiast/practioner, I really appreciate the effort and hard work you are putting into this project. I really can't put to words my feelings of gratitude. I wish you and your family all the best from Brazil!

Thank you for your work in 2022. You inspired me.

[bradharp-pwko]

Shogo; you are amazing! thank you so much for these YouTube channels, I have had a love for Japanese culture and martial arts for many years, I was introduced to it 45 years ago when I started Shotokan martial arts, my Sensei would share his life experiences growing up and training in Japan as a boy with us, I have never forgot those special moments, you have rekindled my interest in all things Japan with your videos. Keep up the great work and the best of wishes of on your new channel.

[cultivar]

I'ma have to make you the first Chanel I join with a monthly payment. You gave me the push to start training in not just katana styles, but all things traditional Japanese, even as a young kid I've been obsessed with ancient Japan. Tea ceremonies, the clothing, the manners, the respect and curiosity. All of it. And ever since I started following you the drive has grown, and I'm finally taking the steps to make it part of my life.

So thank you

[avirup]

yes! keep it up keep making vids about Japan, love it!

[Sawgrass-TML]
