Do you know if there are any film-clips of Tohei doing this, Ted? Thanks.

Like you, my sensei was obsessed with the "jo trick". He and a friend lured K. Tohei to his friend's basement rec room, where they "just happened" to have a movie screen and projector with a film of O Sensei doing that demo. After showing Tohei the film, they asked him if he could also do that. Tohei replied, "Yes" and did it using both of them as uke.

It is not practice that makes perfect, it is correct practice that makes perfect.
