The jo appears to be the lowliest of all tools--an ordinary length of wood--yet it’s an exceptional weapon. While no one speaks of famous jo makers the way they do of sword smiths, the jo is capable of snapping the best swords ever forged. Packed with information on correct grips, stances, postures and etiquette, the book also outlines striking methods, combination techniques, and a 31-count formal solo exercise called tandoku renshu, making it the ultimate resource for those who appreciate Japan’s most subtle weapon.

The jo , an approximately four foot long wooden stave, is a rather innocuous weapon, its versatility and effectiveness not immediately apparent. However, in the right hands it can be used to devastating effect as Miyamoto Musashi the very famous Japanese swordsman discovered in a match with Musō Gonnosuke Katsuyoshi, another famous martial artist. If the account is to be believed, Katsuyoshi beat Musashi using only a jo, the only time Musashi was defeated; true or not, the jo is still regarded as a formidable weapon.The use of the jo features in most Aikido dojos. It is important in its own right as a weapon of offence and defence, but perhaps just as importantly as a supplement to Aikido unarmed training. Aiki-jo training reinforces tai sabaki, reaction speed, distance awareness and many other basic principles of Aikido practice. Moreover, jo suburi and jo kata forms of practice are performed solo, without the need for a training partner.In this volume we provide illustrated guidance to six forms of Aiki-jo training:* Part 1 deals with preliminary exercises to loosen the body and become familiar with handling the jo.* In Part 2 we describe over 20 forms of jo suburi, that is basic exercises for attack and defence.* Part 3 builds on Part 2 by presenting three commonly practised jo kata that incorporate suburi in continuous sequences.* Partner practice in Part 4 shows techniques where uke, wielding the jo, attacks tori who disarms and throws or pins uke. This form of practice is termed jo dori.* In Part 5, jo waza, tori throws or immobilises uke using the jo.* Finally in Part 6 tori and uke, both wielding a jo, are shown performing paired exercises, that is kumijo, before demonstrating a continuous sequence of mutual attacks and defences. Aiki-jo forms are all beneficial to basic unarmed Aikido training, but they are much more than that; they also enrich the Aikido training experience, making it as exciting as it is enjoyable.

Master the wooden weapons used in Aikido with this comprehensive martial arts training manual. Although aikido is often thought of as a nonviolent, noncompetitive martial art, the use of weapons was introduced by the art's founder O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. In fact, aikido techniques that use wooden weapons can enrich all aspects of your practice, helping you to understand both basic and advanced aikido technical tactics as well as conceptual strategies and skills. Building on the authors' belief that no empty-hand system is complete without weapons training, Aikido Weapons Techniques: The Wooden Sword, Stick, and Knife of Aikido demonstrates weapon use both as a training tool to better illustrate aikido principles, and as a self-defense against weapon attacks, focusing on the three primary weapons used in aikido: Ken--the wooden sword Jo--the wooden staff Tanto--the wooden knife A complete discussion of each weapon is included, with descriptions of the stances, grips, techniques, forms, defenses, and training appropriate for each. With over 200 step-by-step photographs and detailed instructions, this aikido book provides an in-depth exploration of weapons use in aikido--from its spiritual implications to technical theory and practical use.

Historically, martial arta have been regarded as a means of developing both physical and mental capabilities, which is a fundamental aspect of any self-defence system. Discipline, rigorous physical training and, above all, a vision of war and the destruction of the enemy by any means have accompanied the practice of many of the styles. However, new trends have been emerging in the ever-changing world of martial arts. It should be noted that any style of martial art can be bene cial for achieving physical and spiritual growth. However, the martial art known as Aikido is one that has been developing in Puerto Rico and many Latin American countries. This is particularly relevant to those seeking a philosophy of life, as humanity is moving towards new social, political and economic frontiers. Our future aspirations include integration and peaceful social coexistence. These aspirations align with the view that violence should not be used as a mechanism for solving problems between human beings. The social cost of violence is too high for it to represent an answer for the future. Aikido is completely in tune with these aspirations and the times. Aikido is a process by which we achieve a state of harmony, first with ourselves and then with everything around us. We cannot give that which we do not possess.
