🧐Frequently Asked Questions About Our Online Lessons:
Q❓: I have no experience with katana. Will I still be able to catch up?
A💡: You don’t need any previous katana martial arts experience to participate in our lessons.

Seki Sensei, the instructor of the online lessons, will carefully instruct you on how to handle the katana regardless of your level. You will also be able to access all the videos of the past lessons so you can watch what every other student has learned. You can also send us videos of your progress, and Seki Sensei will be happy to give you feedback.

Q❓: What is the right length of the Iaito (zinc alloy training katana) I should use?
A💡: Please purchase an Iaitō at least two blocks longer than the standard length.

The standard length for Seki Sensei is about 177cm, so he should use a 2.45 Shaku long katana. However, he uses a 2.6 Shaku-long katana that is supposed to be used by someone 190cm tall. If the katana is too short, it becomes too easy to draw, which is not good for training.

Q❓: Can I join even if I belong to a different Ryuha style?
A💡: Yes, it’s not a problem at all.

The Seki Sensei himself has trained in more than five styles and various other weapons. If you don’t want others to know that you are participating, you can join the online lessons with your camera off. To have the Sensei check your progress, you can send us a video of you practicing.

I love the explanations in the beginner, and the higher repetitions in the advanced... I guess I'll be watching both during training! lol

[rayshadavrilien]

Hi sir and thank you for your encouragement

[The_DCR]

I can't do it as well as Seiki-sensei, but 頑張れます！

[lmclrain]

I think the link to the Japanese channel should always be linked somewhere if not in the best place

Even if people know not the language, still the visual information there is as good if not better

[haydonation]

Thank you for posting these videos!

Always helpful with my practice :)

I do have a question 🙋‍♂️

I have two katana that are sharpened and wish to dull them to make them more practical for practice as I’m using plastic bokken at the moment.

I have yet to try anything but have purchased a file.

Would you recommend anything or give advice regarding my situation?

[lancelotaxton]

Feeble are the mighty in the month of june

[thecatofnineswords]

During the parrying exercise (2:15 onwards), I see Seki sensei leading with his shoulders/upper body for the cuts, and leading with the hips for the rise. Is there any reason for the difference? I am surprised to see a cut initiated with the upper body, and not the hips, as my training had us always initiating cutting movements with the hips.

[ScaryLeafz]

I need to buy new bokken and shinai for training, what’s the best website to buy all of it in bulk for cheap??
