Strange Katana Stances You’ve Never Seen Before (and Why We Do it)

If you are a Budo fan like I am, I’m sure Kamae stances are something you enjoy learning about. So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of the Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, will introduce 4 unique Kamae from the various Ryuha styles he has trained in. You will hardly see each Kamae in other Ryuha, and although it may seem strange, they all have effective logic behind them. *The content of our videos is based on the teachings of Asayama Ichiden Ryu and personal studies/experience There is no intention of denying other Ryuha styles, theories, and cultural aspects ▼Join the Online Kobudo Training with Seki Sensei▼ Interested in taking lessons directly from the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, Seki sensei?
