"You’ll Drop Your Katana With a Loose Grip!!" ...THINK AGAIN!! (About Our Te-no-uchi)

Tenouchi, meaning “inside the hand,” is a unique term used in Japanese katana/bow martial arts, referring to how you grip the weapon’s handle. Since Tenouchi is considered the ultimate technique of Iai/Kenjutsu, the proverb “Tenouchi o miseru (Showing the Tenouchi)“ means to expose all one’s skills and strategies. We’ve introduced many techniques of our Ryuha style where the katana turns and spins inside the hand, but what kind of Tenouchi makes such skills possible? So today, Seki sensei, the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history, will explain the unique Tenouchi of our Ryuha, and the various benefits. Many people in the comments have been telling us, “You’ll get your katana hit away with such a loose grip!” Seki Sensei has a thing to say to these comments, so please watch this video until the end. By the way, tickets for the 3-day training camp in Japan held by Seki Sensei and Let’s ask Shogo are now on sale! Check out our Patreon page for m
