Something for the absolute beginner to do at home during unwarranted restrictions on our liberties. Videos on this channel are for educational purposes only and viewers follow any advice or instructions at their own risk.
Very good training. I have a Jo from cane masters and I love it.
Great job. Thank you for the upload. I appreciate the very clear information presented on your channel.
I'm just learning jo via KZhead. You've provided some additional insights and exercises. Thank you.
Is a good sharing and all go back to basic and practical ways.
Excellent video well done
Thoughtful video. Practical. I like it.
Very interesting, thank you
I’m just starting my journey with bo training I love your training post
excellent
In my neighborhood there’s several dogs on the loose running in packs. There’s also pets that the owners let run loose. No problem. I use an old broom stick with a rubber stopper on the end to fend them off and to keep them distanced. No need to hurt the pups. I tell em good job, keep defending your property!
A Hereford woman has been banned from having a dog for three years after her family pet attacked three people, leaving them with “horrific injuries”. (Hereford Times 11.7.2021) This case was about a year ago, so it is a serious consideration. What does one do to protect self and others in the event of such an attack?
@@mraffabilityGB I’ve been interested in cane/walking stick since I read an article in the Martial Arts Journal. I believe that’s what it’s called?? I still have that old issue somewhere but it discusses the history behind the use of the cane and such. According to the article, the reason why it became customary for men to “carry” a cane was for this purpose. It was a tool for leverage it seems, no pun intended!
I never leave the house without one but saying that it is awkward in Asda when using their scan and go.
I have a jo staff for walking but if I have to I can defend myself
I know kalari stick fighting. I can beat anybody in a stick fight.
Thank’s
Excellent instruction video for Jo staff would same application do for walking stick
See Basic Jo #5 #8 and #9
Bless you I have just bought a "hiking/walking stick"made from hazel and was wondering if there was any way it could be multi purpose 🤔🙌🙌 and then I came across your easy to follow videos thanks for making a difference and trying to help people feel more secure in a darkening world 🇬🇧👍💪🙏
I am sure that you realise that in Great Britain we are not allowed to carry a weapon for self-defence. This video is primarily intended to promote an understanding and interest in Aikido and any reference to using it as a means of self-defence is purely hypothetical and dependent upon the laws of the country you are in. Of course if you face an existential threat, then as I understand it, the law in England allows for a reasonable use of force.
@@mraffabilityGB of course. Here in the UK 🇬🇧 we are NOT allowed legally to carry ANYTHING that is obviously a self defense weapon or any item we name as such ( disclosure and legal information done. I have a walking/hiking staff that I use due to suffering from minieres disease ( probably spelt wrong) which leaves me at times without warning a lack of balance it's like being drunk but without the good bit🤣😂. So I am all good legally. I was just impressed with the very basic and concise way you have made the videos 👍💪🙏
@@mraffabilityGB I worked the doors for 8 years in my younger days so I'm aware of the right to use "a preemptive strike using the amount of force I deem necessary in my own mind to stops any threat I percive to myself or other" An excellent way to introduce people to you chosen form of martial arts 🇬🇧👍💪🙏
@@mattdurham4046 Thank you. Now we are back in the dojo you might be interested in a video called Jo Dori #1 and a couple coming out soon on preventing the Jo being taken from you. All the best, enjoy your hiking.
@@mraffabilityGB I will check them out definitely. If I subscribe to this channel will they be on here? Once again thank you for taking the time to make the videos and reply to my messages 🙏
Great! Exactly what I was looking for. I am self taught with the Bokken, so I might as well try the Bo? Do you also practice Bokken?
I do, but the object here is twofold: to be practical for the beginner and to train the body to a way of moving and being. I feel that one is far more likely to find a handy stick than a katana. It must not be forgotten that a bokken represents a ken or sword which as an edged weapon changes certain aspects of the practice and also the targets.
@@mraffabilityGB That makes sense. Thank you for explaining that so well. I’ll have to spend some more time studying your videos.
I think he should clear his work area first. I was worried he might break something. Still the exercises were interesting and I will try them. I wonder what he was wearing on his feet. After all in the dojo we are used to working in bare feet. It must change the dynamics a bit?
A fair comment, but my aim with this video was to give a certain practical reality to the techniques and in this and subsequent videos I make reference to the possible obstructions and situations that may arise outside the dojo. I wanted to recognise that practising on a nice smooth, level mat was an ideal situation, but since everyone was in the same situation, this was something they could do in their back garden. This was made during covid when I did not have access to the dojo or a matted area where it would be lawful for me to brandish a weapon and you may have noticed the hat. My feet were in big boots on an uneven surface. I was hoping by this means to give people something to get started with which would have relevance later, the footwork, the posture and other small details which would make the movement in the dojo seem more familiar should they decide to take up Aikido.
It wasn't' a criticism, just the usual Brit tongue in cheek comment. I tried your drills this morning, it was a nice start to my day and I enjoyed them so much I will make them part of my routine and look forward to more of your content.
@@insidethevelvetglove3919 Thank you, glad to read that you are inspired to action!
Volume is very low
Red oak Jo?
Yes and hat by ASDA.
beautiful background, but very theoretical actions
