  • So today, Seki sensei the 22nd headmaster of Kobudo Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 400 years of history will teach us the skills of the longer Jō staff.
    The Jō staff of our Ryuha style is called “Shun-Jō” which means Falcon’s staff because of its fast and powerful techniques. By watching this video, you will learn that the longer Jō is especially terrifying, and how it can attack continuously without stopping.
    *The content of our videos is based on the teachings of Asayama Ichiden Ryu and personal studies/experience | There is no intention of denying other Ryuha styles, theories, and cultural aspects

    The Jo is my favourite kobudo weapon to learn about, because the techniques are very easily applied to the hiking stick I carry with me on long hikes! I love practicing kata when out in the woods.

      that wasn't jo. Koliro had a long katana and was used to range advantage. Musashi did two things- he whittles rhe oar a couple inches longer than Kojiro and he kept him waiting as Kojiro was vulnerable to impatience. It was the ability to get in his opponents head that made home dangerous

  • @daijoboukuma
    @daijoboukuma Год назад +21

    As a stick fighter myself, it's wonderful to see the change in levels, from high to low and from low to high. There is a danger of habitually fighting at a middle level (between waist and chest) that leaves the head and knees vulnerable. Also, this is the first time I've seen a worthwhile use for spinning the staff. Excellent!

    @martindeviantxiii 8 дней назад +1

    Jō will not suffer from a katana strike if wax wood is used. Yh They're much heavier but the fibrous nature of the wood will make the blade stick in the staff. The duck then thrust at suigetsu is a very useful move. If you are learning jō it's worth checking out shaolin solid staff techniques also. Pretty much the same length, distance from outstretched hand to hand, around 4 shaku unless you're tall like me, mine is about 5 shaku. Asayama san is a legend, wish to meet him one day, and Tetsuro Shimaguci 🖤

    Great video!
    Shogo is making an observation at 2:46 that people might misunderstand.
    To be clear the force of the blow mostly re-positions the jo, for Ama to grip it in two hands and deliver the final strike.
    The sword strike against the jo provides some energy for the strike (maybe), but a lot will still come from Ama striking down with the jo once he has it in two hands.

    @nicolasbridot3490 Год назад +1

    Thank you for sharing this ! Some techniques remind me of the Katori Shintô Ryu I practice and some are very different. I would say the main difference I see is that we rarely hit the opponent's weapon, considering that giving it a force might make it come back in an unpredictable way, just like the Jo did in this video !
    Thank you again, love your videos from both chanels ;)

    • @martindeviantxiii
      @martindeviantxiii 7 дней назад

      He shortened a bō to be able to counter Musashi's cross sword block. Length of jō should be comparable with the user, we're not all the same height, mine is near 5 shaku.

    So I was wondering, does the tachi have any techniques that the other katana can't perform or performs differently?

  • @Tirza_
    @Tirza_ Год назад +2

    I think one of the most powerful aspects of these kind of ryūha is to use the receiving energy against your opponent. I recommend you to check out Wado Ryū karate. The founder had a menkyo kaiden in Shindo Yoshin Ryū Jujutsu and trained in Yawara Kenjutsu and made a unique karate out of it. Where other karate styles block, Wado never does. It is never 'jodan uke', it will always be 'jodan nagashi uke'. Nagasu, inasu and noru are a few key principles. I think you would find it interesting just like this video was to me.

    • @neohubris
      @neohubris Год назад +2

      you can't do this with a spear because you can't flip around a spear like you can a jo staff.

    • @fnulnu5297
      @fnulnu5297 Год назад

      I believe Deniz meant: Using the Jo techniques against an opponent armed w/a spear (rather than a katana). IMHO, I think there needs to be some adaptations because the spear is held differently than a sword, has greater range/distance and thus body mechanicsfollow suit.
