Here is a detailed video of an aikido 21-move jo kata. This video shows the paired (attack & defense) kata, but also answers a few questions people might have about the form, history, or weapons in general.
There are many weapon katas practiced in aikido. The most common worldwide are probably those taught by Saito Sensei - the preeminent weapons practitioner in aikido. The most common in the US Aikido Federation (USAF), are likely those taught by Kanai Sensei - one of the early aikido shihan (master instructor) in the USAF. CORRECTION TO EXPLANATION IN THE VIDEO: The kata shown here was developed by Koichi Tohei Sensei, from the demonstrations he had seen by aikido founder, Morihei Ueshiba. It was later popularized in the book, "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere".
Attacker: Adam Pilipshen, 5th dan, Long Island Aikikai (www.liaikikai....)
Defender: David Norton, 5th dan, Pax River Aikikai ( / pax.riveraikikai )
This was put together by filmmaker and friend of the dojo, James Couche ( / redbettafilms . If the location looks familiar, that's because it was the setting of our first short ("Dumbass Shakedown") at Southern Maryland Aikido Center, in Waldorf, MD. We filmed this very quickly while on a break during a seminar with Hagihara Sensei (8th dan, Long Island Aikikai).
Comments & questions are welcome, but please be respectful.
