Aikido Jo Kata - 19 ATTACKS ~ OPPOSITE side
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- All movements in this Jo kata are performed on the opposite (left or irregularly) side to that which is normally practiced.
I have go through all the attacking Aiki-Jo movements used by Morihei Ueshiba (O'Sensei) and then later developed by Morihiro Saito Sensei via the Iwama Ryu Aikijo syllabus. They consist of the 20 Jo Suburi, 31 Jo Kata and 13 Jo Kata. I have the narrowed it down to these set of attacks filmed that are never (or very rarely) practiced on the opposite side.
I have joined these Jo Suburi and Kata movements into a continuous pattern forming a 19 Jo Kata, comprising of strikes and thrusts. The Kata transitions through four directions and starts and finishes in the same position.
The purpose of this Kata is to serve as a supplement for those wanting to train their opposite side. Some Aiki-Jo is practiced on both sides therefore rather than repeating all movements this Kata streamlines the attacking movements down to what is not normally practiced.
Below are the movements used from the Jo Suburi.
1. CHOKU ZUKI - Direct thrust
2. KAESHI ZUKI - Reversed thrust
4. TSUKI GEDAN GAESHI - Thrust, then low reversal
6. SHOMEN UCHI KOMI - Head strike, stepping forward
7. RENZOKU UCHI KOMI - Continuous striking, stepping forward
11. KATATE GEDAN GAESHI - One handed strike with low reversal
12. KATATE TOMA UCHI - One handed strike at a distance
13. KATATE HACHI NO JI GAESHI - One handed figure eight strike
14. HASSO GAESHI UCHI - Figure eight turn, then strike
15. HASSO GAESHI TSUKI - figure eight turn, then thrust
17. HASSO GAESHI USHIRO UCHI - Figure eight turn, then rear strike
18. HASSO GAESHI USHIRO BARAI - Figure eight turn, then rear sweep
19. HIDARI NAGARE GAESHI UCHI - Left flowing turn, then strike
20. MIGI NAGARE GAESHI TSUKI - Right flowing turn, then thrust
Below are the movements used from the 31 Jo Kata.
9-11
19-22

I can't believe this content is available on youtube. A gold mine for stick enthusiasts. A million thanks, Mr. Gent
I appreciate it. Ive done a lot of work producing an anti-kata to this as well, just not had the opportunity to produce a video for it yet. So many things planned in the pipeline! Anyhow, thanks for your support! 🙏
Does anyone else train the Jo on both sides? Was this video useful? Let me know in the comments, I would be interested to hear about how others are training.
I didn't start out that way, but I had to take the approach my Toyama ryu Sensei did. For our Dan gradings, we hand to perform the Kata from the opposite side
Cool, which Kata was it you did on the opposite side?
@@AlexanderGent for our Shodan, we had to do Ippon Me - Happon Me from the opposing side
In Aikido Shubu-do we give greater focus to training with weapons. We train with both sides in all modalities, be it jo, bokken, two wakisashi, tanjo and etc.
It is very positive for the development of the skill and physique of the practitioners
Thats great to hear! You are right, I think it is very good for development, improves coordination and provides a balance to within your body.
Very nice Thank you
Thanks Marill!
I love this! 😍 thank you for sharing
Thanks Yesha, you're welcome, glad you liked it!
Obviously I can't comment on the tactics and techniques, but I enjoyed the flow. Killing it in black 😉 x
Thank you Jenny! 🙏
When you find the time, can you do a tutorial on this form?
Each movement is a suburi (or kata movement), as shown from 2:18. The difference is they are on the opposite side and joined together. If you are not familiar with the the Jo suburi or Jo kata I am referring to, if you have a look through my older videos there are some covering both. It will show these movements in isolation. If however you are familiar with the movements is there a specific part you need explaining?
Let me know how you get on! :)
Все четко исполнено! Лайк !
Спасибо большое! Я очень рад!
@@AlexanderGent Я занимался Есинканом, дзе субури, субури кэн знакомо...
very interesting
Congratulations
Thank you, glad you found it interesting!
I think at some point throughout graduating you need to do the 31 No Jo Kata reversed...
Personally I think Aikidoka should be able to do all Jo techniques (including the 31)on both side.
Hi! nice Kata, Any Uke sequence for that? thx
Hey Fadi, good point! Actually yes, I have put something together! However, we are still on lockdown. Once I can meet up with students again I'll got though it and hopefully at some point post a kumijo sequence!
@@AlexanderGent Looking forward to it, meanwhile i'll enjoy that side of it :)
💫❤👍🏾
hello friend, all in peace take me out of doubt, how many katas do you have on the jo? and kumijo is the same thing?
Hello Hap. Kata is a solo pattern, Kumijo is Jo partner practice. As far as the Jo syllabus goes, there is the 20 Jo suburi. These are the individual basic Jo movements (or forms). The 31 and 13 Jo Kata are the solo patterns. The 31 Kumijo is the partner practice version of the 31 Jo Kata. The 13 Jo Awase is partner practice version of the 13 Jo Kata. All of these basics can be found if you look through our previous videos (or in the playlists). :)
After this there is then the 10 Kumijo, these are 10 different partner practice rountines. There is also the Ken Tai Jo which is sword vs staff. We havent made any videos on this yet.
In terms of this video, this is one of many forms / patterns I have put together to help teach free flow and using both sides of the body. These do not appear on any syllubus at the moment.
@@AlexanderGent thank you brother!!
hello my friend again, take me out just one more question please, what size jo do you use? I am 1.83 tall which is advisable?
Hi, you are a few cm taller than me. The Jo I use is 130cm, that should also work for you. A good way to measure it is to have it sit comfortably under your armpit, from the floor. The thickness is 3cm. I generally opt for thicker heavier Jo's as we have a tendancy of breaking them so they need to withstand impact. Hope that helps!
@@AlexanderGent than kyou Very mutch my friend ☯️🍃 peace of the world!!
I DON'T recall ever seeing Morihiro, Hitohiro or Yasahiro Saito Sensei ever perform this. NOT part of the aiki curriculum. Feet too wide, no katahama, open in soo many ways. If you want Aikido. Go to Iwama and do it properly.
I don't recall it either, and I'd be surprised if they did, as it would be a massive coincidence as I put it together myself. If you actually read the description you'd see it's something I put together to practice movements on the opposite side. I'm not claiming it is part of the iwama or any other syllabus. Unfortunately Iwama is not like it was. I'll stick to my own way thanks. You are welcome to come to the UK though, if you want me to teach you a few things to help you understand.
Its all well and good practicing migi and hidari but the point it detracts from true aiki. As taught down to Morihiro Saito Sensei and beyond. UA-cam is full of "magic men", and flailing a jo around is no different. It wouldnt be so bade if there was correct hanmi and correct technique. I am in the UK and follow Iwama religously. It is by far imo the best and strongest form of aiki out there. None of this deviation nonsence that detracts from the form, art amd budo.
Iwama style is very different now from the days when Saito Sensei was around. His son has changed the weapons and even Saito Sensei himself made many "new weapon" series. I was trying to test myself on the other side. That great you are in the UK, maybe you could come and show me how its done? Alternatively you could try out my kata and post a video correcting all the points where I am making a mistake?
@@AlexanderGent Where in UK are you?
I'm in West Yorkshire 👍😊
