In our Shunjō videos, Seki Sensei always makes the techniques look very easy. However, for beginners, handling a Jō is very difficult and very different from using a katana. At first, you must start from the Suburi practicing swinging to get used to handling it. You might think, “Oh, ok, there’s a couple of warmup exercises, nice.” No, just Suburi, there are about 20 different kinds.

So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will introduce the first 6 Shunjō Suburi that beginners must train. These Suburi can be trained independently at home, so it’s the best way for anyone interested in Jō training to get started. Also, it’s the requirements for the Dan promotion exams of our online Shunjō class, so I hope our members can watch this video many times to review the basics. By the way, tickets for the 3-day training camp in Japan held by Seki Sensei and Let's ask Shogo are now on sale! Check out our Patreon page for more information!

The management (filming, editing, etc.) of this new Asayama Ichiden Ryu's English Channel "Let's ask Seki Sensei" is completely Shogo’s voluntary work. If he is 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, we will try our best to create the most educational and exciting content about Japanese Kobudo.
