I'm sorry , I hate to criticize but I need to get this out of my chest. I feel this video is totally disrespectful to the works of O Sensei. Normally true followers of "the way" would demonstrate the superiority of the kata of their beloved "way" . This video did the reverse. Why study a kata that loses?

could you please be so kind to change the video name? it is totally deceiveful, one would think to be going to look an Aikido kata, whilst it's a completely different one.
i'm not saying it is good or bad, but it is not Aikido, it's a copycat of Katori Shinto bokken kata

actually i train at this dojo and yes my sensei teaches tenshinshoden katori shinto ryu here so that maybe why it looks so close to katori

seems to me, that jo would be in the real situation several times broken

Sword is regarded as a superior weapon than the stick. Its easy to win with blade. The kentaijo exercise should show how skill win over superior weapon. Not the other way around . In so many ways, I don't feel this is right but I do respect their inovative spirit. I follow the the traditional path, but I respect that everyone choose their own way. Aikido is a personal journey anyway. Just my humble opinion . No offense intended.

You mean "the ukejo"? I phink also. But anyway, this ken tai jo is absurd because if the uchitachi used a real katana, the ukejo would finish it with a toothpick. A jo never fights a katana like that!

guys are good^^
It's not about power, it's about the technique behind the kata itself. You forget, Aikido isn't about being "competitive," or showing power and strength, it's all about becoming better IN the technique itself. Once the skill is mastered, power comes on its own.

Well said Zansho. :)

Looks curiously similar to one of the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu kata with the bo. Did Aikido's founder (I forget his name) learn it and incorporate it in or something (and decided to use a jo)?

Yes, we most certainly train in TSKSR! :)The founder (Morihei Ueshiba, Osensei) did not practice TSKSR to my knowledge. The style of weaponry in the video is not passed down through the Aikido lineage, but has evolved since, primarily through Tetsutaka Sugawara-sensei.
