Re: jodo vs. aikijo

Jodo is an art based on defending against a sword with the jo.

Aiki-jo is aikido with a jo in your hands. A lot of aiki-jo is done jo vs. jo, whereas this is not really seen in jodo. Jodo people do not normally think too highly of aiki-jo. Aiki-jo could not stand alone as its own art - the point of it, in my opinion, is to improve your aikido.
