Just out of curiosity (from a kendoka perspective), what's the purpose of suburi in aikido? I can imagine physical condition improvement, and back & shoulders flexibility and strength, from what I can see in the video. But maybe there's something else I'm missing?
Aikido techniques are based on working with the bokken (sword - katana). In aikiken, techniques against uke with bokken are also practiced. And kumitachi katas (bokken against bokken) are also part of Aikido 🙂✌🥋
Hello Hansha, I do Aikido about 20 years and I am fitness trainer too. Movement is my life. I belive that it is more about technique than time. The goal si to relax your shoulders and start movement from hara (center) I believe. I always try to use whole body than just arms etc. Wish you luck and big progress 🙂✌🥋
@@aikispot 20 years is a big story. I need to go 10 more years to get there. I don't train as fitness trainer, mainly I train martial art. I aim to get over limit of my body. I pick up suburito to train for arm and control over heavy weapon. Thank you for your advice and for replying ✌. Wish luck to you too.
Hello, how are you! What is the weight of this "suburito" ? I'm training with a "suburito" of 2kg or 4lb, my kokken technique has improved, but now my shoulders hurt! :) Congratulations for the video!
Hello, I am fine. Thank you 🙂 The weight is approx. 3 kg. I am not expert, but the movement should start from your HARA (the center of your body). I always try to use full body. Shoulders should be down and relaxed. Wish you quick progress 🙂✌🥋
Well...I am not sure :-) See the Wiki: The kanabō (金棒) (literally: "metal stick") is a spiked or studded two-handed war club used in feudal Japan by the samurai. There are no spikes on my suburito. I use it just for suburi and I am far away from calling myself samurai ;-)
@@aikispot Well I meant a “training” kanabo. You wouldn’t need spikes or studs on a training one. Like how a bokken doesn’t need a tsuba to train with. Just the overall shape of the suburito reminds me of a kanabo.
@@anathar8830 O.K. this was my inspiration: ruclips.net/video/LqXcmfyJ0iU/видео.html I am not expert. I just needed something heavier for suburi practice. So...I made this by myself. That is all 🙂✌🥋
That's like beast mode Suburi.
Yes...I love it 🙂✌🥋
Fred flintstone hungry.....
:-D
ye ol' cudgel😅
perfect for the exercise.
is the fact of doing that super slow a real improvement exercise or part of the folklore?

Holy, your suburito is like 3 times than mine. And you swing it with ease. How long do I have to train to be able to handle such thing.

Looks more like a kanabo than a suburito, but I guess it can be both.

suburi differs in size depending on how much weight you want so yeah if this is his suburi you should see his kanabo mans an actual beast >:)
I need a big stick like that :0
You can create it 🙂✌️🥋 ruclips.net/video/nSpLrh0Zwww/видео.html Good luck 👍👍👍
Lame
