Re: Diference between Awase and Kumi-Jo
As the previous posters have pointed out, jo awase and kumijo are two different sets of kata.
As taught by Kobayashi Sensei, the awase are practice in a blending manner, with uchidachi and ukedachi moving together for the most part.
In kumijo the attacker (uchidachi) initiates the movement and the defender (ukedachi) reacts.
The training focus for each set is slightly different (as are the movements).
