Why Some Samurai Preferred Using the Sickle

Thank you for putting in the inches for us silly Americans

Die Sichel soll eine übliche Waffe eines Shinoubi sein, ebenso, wie die kurzen Katana / Langmesser.
Ich frage mich, wie sehr ein Lehrling in der Kampfweise eines Samurai, über die Praktiken und Techniken eines Shinoubi bescheid weiß.
Ob er wohl drüber mal berichten kann und Weißheiten teilen kann, die man zuvor noch nicht hörte?

寸止めがすごい。逃げず先生を信頼するお弟子さんもすごい。

Kama has Brother's Friendship Weapon

Sickles, and probably scythes, are the two weapons that I wouldn't try to train with. I have love and respect for all weapons and I see their great potentials, don't get me wrong, but I'm just afraid of cutting myself with how clumsy I am haha. I would just stick with swords and staves.

Kama is like the recommended budget build for rpg games with perma loss loot

Where is your dojo? We dont got dojo on indonesian i rewlly want to leant iado

“It’s basic tool”——☭

would you please use khukuri its from nepal i want to see how you would use it. Thank you

The calligraphy on the walls is very well done!

Oh yeah! Love me a Kama! 🥰

I did very much enjoy learning to use the Kama.

It's Easy to imagine how much high ranked samurai underestimated this "poor mans" weapon

😊😊😊

Rathma Priest style.

I appreciate Seki Sensai’s skills, but I don’t think enough appreciation goes to his assistant in the demonstrations. He definitely has a lot of trust and confidence in Seki Sensai as well, and I’m not sure if many other people would take his place in these demonstrations.

This makes me want to see a video on the kusarigama

What are the differences between main land kobuto and Okinawan kobuto?

Recently bought a pair of kama but could only find real long karate kata using them solo. Great to see how they're used in combat. Will these techniques work against jō also?

Can you do the hammer next?🇷🇺

This is much like how the vikings fought with their axes/hatchets which were also farming tools.

what about the kusarigama?

Wow, dungeons and dragons had it right for once. You can infact gain ten attacks per round with flurry of blows and still make grapple checks with kama.

Can you do a video on the scythe?

very cool

Would these kama techniques work for naginata, poleaxe or 1-h axes ? I am thinking since they all have the sharp on the inside of the head

I found this channel while looking for a weapon I could train in when I get to that level in my training. So many cool things

Can you please do kama against Spears?

The are Medieval European weapons derived from straightened scythes and ploughshares

I cannot help but wonder what it would be like to merge this certain rapier fencing styles with the kama for parrying, hooking and blade control in the off hand and a katana or wakizashi in the right hand...

In Polish sabre we have cuts to the wrist much like the way Seki sensei uses the back of the kama. This is most often achieved using a moulinet or spin. Some sabres have a sharpened back edge in Polish terms it would be "pioro" or feather. (much like kogarasu maru). This opens up many angles to attack from that are difficult to anticipate. The cut to the wrist is usually followed by a cut to the belly or groin, it even has a name the Hellish fourth or the Hellish quart. You could do the same with a kama.

I'm really enjoying watching these videos, with Seki Sensei and yourself. I'm always fascinated by the similarities and differences in Ryu Styles, my Kama I trained with have 18" handles and shorter blades, the last technique with the Winding is similar to a technique from my Training , and which I transferred into my European Weapons training and I teach on my long knife and Axe techniques Courses

"It is not as easy as Seki Sensei makes it look." Yes. This is true.

This should be the name of this channel.

I'm an American and I am learning to use the tomahawk (our native martial art, you could say) and I see similarity between the Kama and the 'hawk.

You should try and use a 2 handed scythe.

Came here after Scorpion got a weapon upgrade with a Kama in MK1

WTF! this guy is simply one of the top 100 most dangerous men alive. He's the John Wick of the samurai universe. His knowledge and skill are CLEAR... and the fact that he can pick up anything and be effective using it as a weapon is scary.

This is the guy Bill Burr warned you about.

Hi

I'd be fascinated to see what Seki sensei can do with a European sword

I Know tour channel is not fornthis but, why in anime, many of them show puppetiers as Warriors?

Is scary fast 😮

I am used to the Okinawan kama....this one he is using is massive. The use is different as well. Holding it on the end of the handle makes it longer but you have much less control over the kama. Give and take I guess ?

Drill another hole in the blade then you could pivot it to a verticle position.

Where can i get a sickle (kama) to fight?

"Kote-Otoshi" sounds like circumcising someone in my local dialect!😬
