I used to do Aikido, and I still have my Jo which I always keep close to my heart. My senseis would always tell me: "The Jo signifies infinity. It has no end. One move can always flow into another."

Anyways, Jo mama

I appreciate any man who has traveled down an unfamiliar road and is willing to share his experiences ..gratitude

I got my first belt in aikido & this video reminds me of our training! thanks for adding this to your art!

There are many short stick variations that can greatly increase your chances to defend yourself against an attack. I am a fan of some of them because of their ability and simplicity of a simple tool. 👍

Dude! Saito Sensei taught my Aikido instructor! Nice!

This is my preferred weapon and I have trained with many weapons. The small amount of Aikido that I have learned has been integral to the formation of my personal style.

Aikido? Steven Segall??

With ease, very smooth.

You’ve seemed to have studied well. I like that, thanks for giving me a place to begin my training.

I am a second Dan in Aikido and Ikkyu in Kendo. I studied Aikido in Coventry under Jim Irvine before moving on to learn under Kanetsuka sensei in Oxford. Never met such a small man who could pummel this (future, then serving) Royal Marine into the boards; yes, his Dojo didn't have mats, we trained on the wooden floor, where you knew if you had fallen correctly. Loved the art.

Please do some basic tutorial vids for folks who don't have a lot of time to invest, but want to learn the basics....

fast thrust to face, fast thrust to groin, fast thrust to chest mix sequence repeat,repeat,repeat and so on.

I really like this series of stick/staff fighting. One of the things i was really surprised when i found out, was why a lot of gentlemen back in the day were using canes - walking sticks. When i was younger, i thought there were just 2 purposes: - walking aid for leg problems - show of the status. Then much later i realised it was an incredible self defence weapon you can use in various styles - as a stick or a rapier/sabre/short sword. And that last part is usually omitted. I wonder why? ;D

I am german, Brittas boyfriend and in my late 50s now. When i was a little boy, you could see a lot of rural ,gentlemen' carrying a cane ( or a cutaway blackthorn/hazelnut Stick) without needing a walking aid. Also in those days it was common, that dogowners had the dog Rope (?) in left hand and cane or stick in right hand. An elderly man , i sometimes meet, told me, that when his father was a very young man, few people had a car or motorcycle. In those days most men of my homeregion had been craftsmen, workers and farmers at the same time, but they could not live alone from one job. Today my homeregion is a rich part of Germany, but then it was a poorer part. So a cow was in those days an expensive thing, and when in town Schorndorf the cattlemarket was, the ,small farm' owners visited the town with , for the time, a large sum of Money. They mostly came on foot and had to cross the for my region large Schurwald Forrest. The noted man told me, that in his fathers young years, the farmers marched to Schorndorf cattle Market in groups of three or more men, and everyone carried a cane or stick. My father often told me, that one of his greatfathers was a freight coach driver. One day he had on a lonely road in Schurwald Forrest a strange adventure with two unknown men. Before this, only carried his coachdrivers whip and a folder, but then He bought a knuckleduster, which was then an allowed and relatve cheap weapon.

Always have enjoyed the staff in training. Stay well and vigilant. 💯✌️😎🌪🌎

Wow this is crazy I was kust swinging a stick and put it down. And this is the video I get recommended

This guys amazing

Looks very therapeutic.

I trained with the mature version, rokushaku Bo, in the day as a kid for my old karate dojo. The values it teaches you stays for life. 🙏🙏❤️❤️🥋🥋

Yo, doing staff katas while hammock camping is a vibe

I do a bit of contact staff but you're making me want to learn some fighting stick stuff. Fascinated in trying to learn some of flows you've done in other videos

Jo JOOOOOO

Broom handle🤣! Left the aluminum insert on!

Great vid

Watch this on mute, it's basically an 80s style training montage 🤣 Great vid though.

Fellow Saito aiki student!

I have developed my own unique form of Jo staff, it focuses more on momentum, and glancing blow recovery.

I'd highly recommend Mushashi's book of Five Rings and his other works too

I don't imagine it would be all that easy as there's a decent amount of bad information out there and just as much information is only passed from teacher to student. But maybe you'd like mau rakau (Maori staff). I still haven't seen too much resembling our fighting techniques on this channel yet 😁

Jo-do we use many thrusting attacks more so than swinging attacks.

Nice

👍👍👍👍👍

I think the most famous do practitioner was Donatello, the Ninja Turtle...

Very similar to Jogo de pap ( game of the stick) developed by Portuguese shepherds, Portugal and Japan did have a long history together

In former days, long sticks/ staffs had been common everywhere in Europe, especially among travelling persons. When hiking sometimes, i personally noticed, that my perhaps 120 cm stick is a bit short , when hiking in mountainous terrain. I ,german, hope , that portugiese people can preserve this tradition into future. We Germans have lost nearly everthing of former martial arts, i think the , Thirty Years War' ( 1618 to 1648) , which killed a third of my Nation was a reason for this.

My man, Muso Gonnosuke, definitely died if he fought Miyamoto Musashi

The Aikido style of Jo staff is very fluid and looks impressive but it has not been battlefield tested, all traditional martial arts grew out of warfare, therefore if a technique was written down in the scrolls and passed on it was because someone used it in real combat, survived and tthen passed on those aapects of the jo staff that actually work in a combat situation. All staff techniques in traditional japanese arts were taught as a framework or basis for "kengi" which is the skill of being able to utilise and weild any staff type object in combat.
