Ukemi is the art of falling safely, and all Jūdo and Aikido trainees practice it first to avoid injuries. However, the Ukemi that we do in Asayama Ichiden Ryu is unique because you must fall safely with a katana on your waist.

So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, which has 400 years of history, will explain how and why we perform the Ukemi in our Ryuha. This simple movement has incredible meanings, so please watch this video until the end. By the way, we have started a new online lesson on Sundays at 10:30 pm JST. Check out our Patreon page for more information!

*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

The Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu, of which Seki Sensei is the 22nd headmaster, was one of the most popular Ryuha styles during the Edo period. 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. Your donations will be used to cover Shogo's travel expenses to visit the main dojo from Kyoto, YouTube video shooting costs, online lesson operation costs, and training camps in Japan and overseas.
