The aikido jo 31 kata, by aikido instructor Stefan Stenudd, 6 dan Aikikai. Here it is done in four directions, shiho, instead of the usual two. This is not the basic version of the jo kata, but a variation I developed for the sake of my students and myself. A long kata, like this one, is usually done in four directions - whether it is jo, ken or an unarmed art.

    5...?

  • Well, I guess that depends on how you count.

  • GOOOD!!! Very Good

    PD: Is 31 or 36 jo kata?

  • It's 31 kata - but observe that here it's done in four directions instead of two. My own little experiment...

  • I Invite you to try out the exercise of doing something like this, it appears simple, but is a good training to welcome learning always new things even if we don't like 'em
