Another group of techniques that you will run into as your Aikido training progresses is Jo Tori, and this is how to deal with a partner that has a weapon, namely the Jo. So, we're are going to deal with how to take the Jo away from the partner, and then also at one point in time during jo tori, when I am holding the jo and my partner is trying to grab it from me.
If we start with the jo, we'll generally begin with my partner holding the jo and performing a series of attacks, again which are similarly enough to the open hands techniques. We can see the same principles apply. So one of the first that we will see is ski. So this is just like open hand technique if he was going to punch to the leading side, this is like ski.
So in any Aikido technique the most important thing is to get off line and away from the strike. The first thing I need to do is be aware of how I am moving my body away from the strike. I want to make contact with the weapon or the hand, take control and bring it my side. Lift, and project. Just as in with the other weapons, I always want to end up holding the weapon at the end of the technique.
So his first technique is considered Kokyunage. I always end up with the Jo. Kai ten. Hold the weapon to my side and take control, lift, and separate. I can also move to the imoti side in front. Lift, take the jo from underneath, and project. Again, I end up with the weapon.
Again, move to the imoti side, and project. I can also receive and project back where he came from. Interested in crossing my partners arms, here, and project forward again. Now, if we were to take a look at jo tori in terms of when I am holding the weapon, my partner's coming to get it, so either grab with one or both hands, and this is a great way to demonstrate how not to fight with your partners strength. He is grabbing into the jo, I don't want to try to pull or move my partner, I want to leave that contact point where it is, move around it, and project out and away, and also avoid it altogether. Take the feet, and also create some wrist locks and pins and immobilizations.
So jo tori consist of me holding the weapon, or in an instance where my partner is holding the weapon and attacking. So jo tori.

awesome video! studying jo, bokken and tanto weapons training with Aikido so I will most definitely be back to watch more!

[@danielfila8993]

Très interressant ! les techniques sont bien expliquées. thx a lot

[@anthonystevenson7944]

Excellent. Full marks; This is Aikido!

[@pierregueguen293]

Thank you so much for these videos, they are a precious tool

[@scampiscampai]

i love aikido

[@ironchief000]

Could you explan Aikido basics? Like the main position... position change and vital excersices, etc

[@davetong]

Great quality of instruction. Thank you sensei

[@TheDoowle]

Jo DORI: Uke attacks with Jo (usually Chudan Tsuki), Jo NAGE: Uke grabs Jo with either hand or both

[@AikidoJunky]

That would be a yokomen attack. Different entry, but most of the same techniques still apply. Please note that he's showing a VERY small subset of techniques in each of these videos. As an example, for my blackbelt test I did 6-8 different techniques for each of 3 different attacks with jo, bokken (sword), and tanto (knife). And even then, there were more techniques (that I know) that I didn't demonstrate (and I only know a small subset of takeaways for each of these weapons).

[@thethaifighter.2981]

Thanks you very much. Now I know how to do that.

[@jamesrivera6068]

Great stuff

[@Dtrollmancan]

nice some interesting things now lest try agents some LAMECO or DBMA ;)

[@iliyaafilastin2632]

You are the best

[@Aria132]

Jesse Spears I dont think the situation is the same with the jo. The range in the beginning will be too far to enter at the good moment. That's why we never see yokomen with jo and ken in demonstrations

[@Bhenselae]

It looks so fluent.

[@masterofdesaster1854]

I like the aikidotechnics, but can some one explain me please, why the jo-strike-side is worst? In many aikido jo movies i see not good jo strikes. Here at beginning at 0:51 he will hit the target, but than pushing mor forward in to the air to come to an bad position with jo. Bend forwward adn downwards. Why? If you watch the picture(pause movie) at 0:51 why the first hand is so faraway and body bent forwart? If he will leave the first hand closer he dont need to bend like this. In aikido all watch for center and balance and dont bent forward and so on, why not when pushing a jo?

[@Religious_man]

You can't do such things if the attacker is using a sword. An attacker uses a sword up and down, left and right. Not straight forward. It's better to use a sword of equal strength or greater than use your flesh and blood to grab it. The old man of Aikido apparently never realized that.

[@davidc9257]

I'm very interested in Aikido but I don't know where to start

[@gladius2489]

It’s always good to start at the beginning

[@abdulkabza]

Wouldn't the uke simply release the jo when you apply wrist lock?

[@FandomCanon]

Most likely. But some people are surprisingly stubborn.

[@diceman199]

If they do it's not a problem as you now have the weapon and they'll probably be off balance....so you hit them with it :-)

[@gladius2489]

If you had a weapon would you willingly release it to your opponent so he could use it against you?

[@abdulkabza]

@@gladius2489 I am referring to the techniques where the jo is held by the seme.

[@Schoski9319]

We only learn aikido without or with jo :( not both...

[@anthonydavythompsonstevens4297]

❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@ernestnoway]

What if instead of stabing ghe opponent just swings it from the side at you

[@pomod]

There are different techniques for that, more in line with a Yokomen.

[@gladius2489]

What if your opponent has a machine gun?

[@MetalSniper245]

NO!
