Nobuhide Seki's Asayama Ichiden Ryu Hyoho DVD - Authentic Japanese Swordsmanship Training for Martial Arts & Self-Defense | Perfect for Budo Practitioners & History Enthusiasts

Product Description

Discover the comprehensive Kobudo rooted in battlefield technology!

Asayama Ichiden Ryu, a prominent school during the Edo period, boasted over 7,000 students! Known for its swordsmanship, this school uniquely preserves armored combat techniques, emphasizing stances and footwork derived from battlefield scenarios where opponents wore armor.

These techniques were later adopted by the Japanese police in the Meiji era and continue to influence various martial arts disciplines today, including swordsmanship, jo, hanbo, iai, kama, and others.

In this DVD, Nobuhide Seki, the 22nd generation soke, meticulously details numerous practical techniques from the school. Renowned beyond Kobudo, Seki has achieved multiple victories in the All Japan Iaido and All Japan Jodo tournaments, holding a solid 5th dan in Kendo.

Thus, the instruction on this DVD isn't just theoretical but has been rigorously tested in competitive arenas.
