They bring their hands together to the stick's center of balance?? At what point exactly? Can you link me to a youtube video in which someone is doing that? I want to see what you mean.

[FredDude27]

Do a search for the video "Jodo Jojutsu 1/5"

(without the "") and check out their osame.

[09227601086]

Oh, ok. I see what you're talking about now. They are bringing their lead hand back when the jo is at their hips. I have a feeling that some people do and some people don't do that at my dojo but it has never been commented on by any of the instructors. During the osame you should stay ready to attack the whole time, though, and it seems that if you bring your hands together then the number of ways you could react to an attack are more limited, but I am far from an expert on the subject:)

Is this Muso Shinto Ryu or the jodo practiced by the japanese kendo groups? I'm a MSR man myself.

[09227601086]

It's Muso Shinto Ryu.

[SGPFogarty]

Those are the first five kata from the AJKF (ZNKR seiteigata). Two and Four are originally police techniques, and One, Three, and Five are modified from the Shindo Muso Ryu. Three is a variation in that school to begin with. The old school is chalk full of variations. His osame is unusual in Japan, and the changes in grip are for relative beginners in Seitei.

You're right about the changes in grip being for beginners. I had only been doing Jodo for about five months when this was filmed. But I don't understand what you mean about my osame being unusual. What about it is different from what you were taught or have seen?

Judo/jodo same thing

[FredDude27]

..or my personal favorite clip:

"Omote with Nishioka Tsuneo Yasunori"

[SGPFogarty]

By unusual I mean uncommon. Most bring their hands together to the stick's center of balance. A few practitioners do leave the hand out. I can hear one of my teachers in the background as she's yelling on this clip.

[SGPFogarty]

Those are the first five forms from the AJKF (ZNKR seiteigata). Two and Four are originally police techniques, and One and Five are modified from the Shindo Muso Ryu. Three is a variation in this school to begin with. The old school has many variations. The changes in grip, distance, and finish are all simplified.

I do AJFK jodo, and this is identical to the first 5 kata. Apparently AJFK's kata are "slightly modified" versions of MSR, but these ones are the same.
