As a newbie, it’s great to see such high quality content for free on KZhead.
Have u kept up your training? Are u still a newbie?
Nice to see a more "practical" style demonstration after an hour of watching drills/kata... Sure I understand the reasoning for those things and get that they can help most people develop but seeing APPLICATION always wins.
be getting more into the jo the last few years. Still love my Kali (sword, stick and knife) but have added the jo. this video will surly help me advance in my training. one I will be coming back to
You are great Master.
dope move in the beginning didn't know they would break as easy good knowledge
A real jo treated with oils won’t but it is an effective lesson to not rely only on weapon or hand to hand know both because more options equals better chance of survival
@@devenmckinney5951 good move for a pool cue or broomstick, but I wouldn't advise trying it on any jo I've ever trained with.
Wow that last neck manipulation I'd never of considered! Very slick!
I think you mean very stick
This is some good stuff. It's clear and taught well..I'm going to watch this everyday and practice until I get it right. Much appreciated !
Really fanastic teacher and channel.
Wonderful video sir! Thank you for sharing!
Detailed teaching. Great
That was badass!
Love your videos! I wish I could come to practice with you guys
me too
sweet counters!
Love it uk hi how are
Good beginning by the way.
I've been self training in the Jo staff for around a year now and wanted to know more of how to use it so thanks for this
Look up Shinto Muso Ryu, use that for reference if you can't find a local dojo.
Excellent. Highly skilled in technique and instruction. Great teaching sir! Thank you.
Really great video man. I liked the bit of Naruto music too
The "music" is never necessary.
I'm learning the jo mostly for versatility. But I gotta tell you, if anyone ever attacks me with a staff on the street, I'm moving.
a halberd is a good weapon for keeping distances and some techniques are similar, but the aikido stick techniques can be applied to other weapons to so its always good to learn, for example i apply some to a heavy iron mace.
My "Joe" Staff 🙂 for City walking,... you don't stand of breaking anything like you did in the video,... except maybe your hand! It's about 1-1/8 inch thick and made from well seasoned BLACKTHORN (sapling) from Ireland, so there are no grain lines like you have from a machined out blank from a larger tree. Most Blackthorn is not as straight as mine is either, OR as uniform in thickness from end to end. and with the bark still on with a fairly uniform "grippy" surface. I've left on slight remnants of the throrns, (often referred to a "knuckles) which are smooth enough not to catch on the hand but materially strengthen the overall stick's ability to resist breaking. They appear in a fairly steady spiral up and down the length of the stick. A rare cut above the rest for sure... and I carry it regularly as a walking stick in the City, with a well fitted and easy to remove rubber ground tip,... just in case! Originally 53 inches, I cut it to 47-1/2 inches to be less threatening and 75 grams lighter at about 675 grams. Now I have a matching Blackthorn Yawara Stick to boot! Stay Safe, Joe T
If you've already moved out of the way, why parry the blow? Blocking pulls your mind into blocking..when they come, you strike before they strike...yeah, it tqkes a bunch of practice...
Good to see someone with a deeper understanding of traditional martial arts on here.
It is to maintain cohesion. He isn't just blocking, he's creating the opportunity to attack while checking the weapon. One doesn't always have the opportunity to attack first. The way he's holding the jo like a walking stick, and the swift way the katana wielder draws and attacks, it makes sense to evade, while connecting with the katana so that he can control where it goes.
yeah youd break your hand on my jo lol. idk why youre even bothering with those broom handles....
JO MAMA
I thought aikido jo was a spear without the actual spear head but also thought the point of aikido jo was to not kill but at the same time have the ability to injure the opponent. I am new to aikido jo this is the first time I saw it so if anyone wants to correct me or tell me how aikido works that would be awesome thanks
Look into Shoji Nishio. He shows how the jo and sword are a major part of Aikido. His instruction and technique is by far some of the most effective. There are videos here, and you can find his book with Derek Steel 'The Irimi-Issoku Principle' online as a free pdf if you search.
This is not Aikido where you disarm or subdue the aggressor. This is Budo where you employ techniques to neutralize and even kill an enemy in combat. Budo are combat techniques passed down from the Warring States Period for training warriors.
so you think you can parry or change the direction of a sword going at full human fly speed
A sword such as a katana won't chop. It slices.
Honestly I never used a bo staff before
Trade Minister Tagomi did well~
Pretty much identical to the Jo techniques we learnt in Aikido :-)
If you leran jo techniques identical at this, you aren't doing aiki jo specifically ken tai jo. Aiki jo si very different, the only thing in common with this techniques is jo lol
@@Darklayy You either were taught poorly or didn't pay very good attention. Most of these elements are directly translatable from the kumi-jo exercises. This guy is obviously adding elements from his martial arts style, but it is clearly all related. Expand your perception.

ese jo estaba roto
Do you have online class
Hi. Sorry. Nothing online. live, just some DVD's www.ebay.com/sch/thedojomartialarts/m.html?item=264943158075&hash=item3dafd7c33b%3Ag%3AF2kAAOSwUlRbu4ZI&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
The theory is good but try this against a kendoka. Their footwork is a little different to people pretending they can cut with a sword. 😅
Kendo is not kenjutsu. The aim of kendo is to score strikes on the valid targets in the fastest time, while the aim of kenjutsu is to kill or incapacitate the opponent using any means necessary. Kendo is restricted to the use of the upper part of the shinai. In kenjutsu, we can use the entire sword to strike, stab the opponent, also the scabbard to hit and lock the opponent. Kenjutsu even has kick techniques against an opponent.
Dont you slash with a japanese sword not stab?
You do both. It is designed for both stabbing and slashing; and even bashing like a hammer. Slashing won't work well at all against iron Yoroi. Stabbing finds the crevices.
@@thedojomartialarts ok thank you
It is a slashing weapon, you can stab of course, but not deeply. Most every tsuki is followed immediately by kikiroshi. But the short answer is no, it is not built for stabbing.
You refer to the Katana and such? Yes, we use it for 'stabbing'. Precisely so. Many techniques are for that alone and it is 'built for it' just fine.
Would be interested to know WHY not hit the thumb or hand? I'd rather disarm an advancing opponent than constantly be backing up while under attack. You can't block ALL strikes coming at you so sooner or later one of them is going to HURT you. Unless you smack him in the hand, wrist, fingers so he can't hold his sword, bo, staff etc. After he's disarmed - PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY so you don't have to worry about attacks from him in the future.
I think he says "that is what you want to do in real life". I think he means don't do it when practicing,.
People really comment but don’t actually listen....
que sin verguenza, el bo esta roto desde el principio.
But how do I continue to code if my laptop breaks?
semaphore
Staff abuse 😳
Can you do any of these things at full speed? Demonstration at slow speed is pretty useless.
I have a lot of history and opinions of aikido that aren't the best so I can't watch stuff like this normally without cringing a bit, but ngl the breaking of a jo staff at the beginning was really impressive not gonna lie 😂😂😂
Aikido is a martial art maid for the mind it's not very effective.
More effective than you might think.
Don't hurt your opponent in a deadly fight. lol don't break their thumb because they are trying to kill you with a sword. lollllllll
I think that comment was meant for the learning/practice in the dojo ( these kids/people are just being introduced to the jo ) .. _because that's what I want to do in real life, break his thumb_
U slow? He was saying that not to do that for training so u don’t hurt the partner. He said that breaking the hands is for actual use
Thanks, I had a short staff but now I have a spear. Only an idiot would risk injuring their hands when that is literally all that they have to protect themselves with. I know you'll say that you have your feet, but anyone who's ever had an injured hand can tell you about pain so intense that any movement is excruciating. So stupid. Pride goeth before the fall and before death elation.
Adrenaline works bud.
Your stick is to small its will not protect you.
Not the size of the stick that matters, but how you use it. ; )
@@thedojomartialarts i m a martial arts teacher myself sure what you do with the stick it's important but dont forget your protection.
We agree.
Look I spent the better part of a decade training in traditional martial arts, but I can tell you from an eccentric background and using self defense that this is merely a form of Martial expression. And it bugs me that this could ever be passed as legitimate method of combative. When you get that adrenaline dump in a real-world situation, that f****** form and technique, I don't care how much you train goes right out the window
Adam. If watching people train bothers you, do not waste your time watching any channel's martial art videos. You are obviously a martial expert and supreme judge of what is best for us all... No real martial artist would ever attack the process or practice that betters the self and others. The alternative to your hypothesis is to not do anything - "do not bother training because none of it will work." This is literally the antithesis of any self-protection oriented person. The thousands of us who train do so to better our odds of survival, that is it. Practice also makes us happy and more aware of our surroundings. Yes, obviously much technique will "go out the window". We all know this. All legitimate schools will drill this into their students. That is why a good dojo trains in a hundred different areas of self-defense, including sparring, randori, target training, ground work, various weaponry, firearms, etc. All of these areas are explored, everyday. But never forget, those who actively train will always have a massive advantage in any type of self-defense situation over those who quit and do nothing. Good luck in your training. It is definitely worth it.
Hm. I've seen more comments like this than I can count from foreigners. It's a strange thought process to me. Things have numerous sides. A man could win one thousand battles, then lose his footing on a staircase and never walk again. A man can knock an arrow from the air with his side arm, only to be killed the next night by a drunk with a bottle and bad aim. So many fun variables but nothing that has any real bearing. Combat starts in the mind. I have always trained attack, as a method to defence. Weapon styles that kill and I've had cause to. When you are limiting yourself and filling your intentions with hesitations and restraints, perhaps yes. You will be overwhelmed by the flailing fool with the elephant arms and temper to match. But sans that, to argue that training yields no result is a pointless and asinine. If you can't utilize technique you simply haven't applied it frequently enough. You must spar actively. Until you achieve Mushin. I have zero doubt that I could defeat you without effort. I may be a small girl but I'll have your arm off before you've even registered it. Intent. Skill. Luck. Environ. Restraint or a lack of. Every little component. Counts. If your technique simply goes out the window, then you have no aptitude for combat. Martial Arts are for war, perhaps that will seem silly but such is their history. Pad up. Use full power. Self defence is a gimmick. But being the one still standing when the other guy is dead on the floor is quite something else. I'd just grab a gun is the usual retort. Overlooking that someone actually used a Longsword in the second world war and managed to kill. Pave your own path. Don't talk rubbish of variables so endless, that you might well as not ever leave your bed.
Katas help ensure muscle memory as does training. Those are there to assist when an adrenaline dump occurs.
