How Would a Katana Swordmaster Fight with a Halberd? (Seki Sensei’s New Favorite Weapon)

Due to popular demand, after the long sword and the rapier, we finally had Seki Sensei try fighting with the halberd. However, we had no idea at the time that this video would turn out to be one of the top 3 most enjoyable shoots we’ve ever done. So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will try fighting with and against a halberd for the first time in his life. There are many techniques that only Seki Sensei, a master of Koryu jōjutsu and bōjutsu and a 7th Dan Jōdō instructor, could have developed, so please watch until the end. However, please note that this halberd is not real, and this is just an entertainment video project. Please teach us in the comments how a real halberd is used in combat. By the way, we have started a new online lesson on Sundays at 10:30 pm JST.

In our golden age, we had over 7,000 students nationwide. Today, we only have 100 students. Our dream is to revive the golden age of Asayama Ichiden Ryu while Seki Sensei is still the headmaster. We want future generations to remember Seki Sensei as the legendary Sōké who brought back the glory of our Ryuha.
