BACK FROM JAPAN SEMINAR with MATS & JENS
From Budoshop.se by budoshop
BACK FROM JAPAN SEMINAR with MATS HJELM & JENS LINDSTRAND was filmed at TANRENKAI 6 Workshop in October 2026 in Sundbyberg.
Shortly after returning from Japan in October, Mats Hjelm, back from his 55th training journey, and Jens Lindstrand, back from his yearly trip (he stopped counting long ago and guesses somewhere between 20 and 30), held a one-day seminar on Taijutsu and Mutōdori.
Mats opened with Yukichigai from Takagi Yōshin Ryū, Ishitani-den, then showed the Mizuta-den version and its henka.
Jens followed with Mutōdori techniques from Takagi Yōshin Ryū, with variations and henka.
Next, Mats showed the crucial distance in Mutōdori and what to do once you step into the “death zone”.
Jens then continued with more of the Takagi Yōshin Ryū Mutōdori techniques.
The last hour was what Mats calls a “Henka Chain”. Taking turns, each of them showed a variation of the technique before it.
