Whose kata are you after. I dont know who invented the 22 or 8. The 31 was invented by Saito Sensei, although i believe other shihan have also adopted there own version. You will learn very little from pics and words without regualr instuction by some one who can teach it

Try this: http://www.ki-shin-tai.de/, looking for "Video Clips".
For me, they are the best jo-bokken videos I have found for learning.(thank you Thomas Podzelny).

That the weapons your after blackpigeon. Very good site and the bodyform in the movies is very good. These are the suburi left by Osensei so you could do a hell of alot worse and not study these plus saitos katas

For a non-Iwama style approach to jo and bokken see Ikeda Sensei's Buki video which is jo against sword.

Hm.... we do 22 jo kata in ki-aikido.... :straightf

I've heard of 31 and 13 jo kata....but 8 jo kata... :confused: ...I've never seen or heard of it (or maybe I did but wasn't able to recognize it) :sorry:

BTW here's the link to some web site containing a detailed 22 jo kata.... (hope it works):

The 31 Jo Kata cut short with a few changes and additions! But no power!!!!! :(

I hope that when people do it properly in that school they actually have fucus in the strikes in the kata!!!!!

All,

The 22 in the clip has very minor differences from the 22 I have seen in other Ki Society dojo. Both, however, are similar to what we call the 31 jo kata. Just to hazard a guess, I'd say the 8 jo kata is similar to what we call the 13 jo kata.

If I remember it all, we have 20 jo suburi, 31 and 13 jo kata, partner practices for both of them, 10 additional jo vs jo partner practices, 7 jo vs ken partner and a bunch of drills that help introduce the aforementioned.

I think doing the partner practices vigorously really aids one's aikido.

That said, I think a lot of people that practice aikido should spend some time doing kendo and/or BJJ.

:confused: (.....doesn't the power depends on the person performing the kata? )

Where I train, we practice this kata both solo and with a partner holding a bokken.... (if that's what you mean)...

NO!

I mean that there is a huge difference between doing the movements and placing, AND executing the movements and striking!!!!!!!!!

The later has "Ki" - ENERGY, the first does not!!!!!
