The Aiki Jo developed by Morihei Ueshiba (O'Sensei) is a method of using Japanese staff techniques to teach the principles of Aikido.
The 31 Jo Kata is a staff form that was taught by O-Sensei in Iwama. It was preserved by Saito Sensei and now forms part of of the Iwama Ryu Aikido syllabus.
It is good practice to perform the 31 Jo Kata slowly and with pauses between each movement. This will develop good timing, positioning and structure. It will also help in memorising the sequence and regulate breathing.
The 31 Jo Kata was developed for solo practice and should start and finish in the same position.
The 31 Kumi Jo is the 31 Jo Kata applied in partner practice. There are several differences in application, which relate to timing and positioning. For example with 15/16, 20/21 and 25/26 the two movements become one.
