Hallo Matt, I found u on my Facebook page. I am really happy for that. Greetings from Germany. Thank u, I will train , especially the Jo or I have a Hanbo. Ok I cannot walk around with the Hanbo but I have a so called security umbrella that is made very strong and so good for self defense., The times are changing here in Germany, we need to know how to defend ouerselves.

[@willatkinson7958]

Thank you for a clear demonstration of Jo for a neophyte. Very interesting.

[@pasquinilli]

My pleasure!

[@hremaddox]

Thank you! I got a beautiful 50" hickory jo from eBay the other day. I'm already using it every day and watching your videos. I plan to carry it with me as a walking stick as I'm an avid hiker and camper.

[@pasquinilli]

That’s awesome!

[@kelvinshell8379]

I've just recently started Aikido, I've found your video the best at showing things at a speed for beginners. Thank you and keep up the great work 👍

[@pasquinilli]

Thank you! I am a perpetual beginner and practice “beginners mind” martial arts.

This is a good playlist for Aikido. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIu7pWOVgMtofac

This is a video to watch repetitively for mastering the fundamentals, and the workout is awesome. Matt is highly motivating. The simple, straightforward nature provided here is priceless.

[@pasquinilli]

Thank you Darren! Really appreciate those words!

[@Bob13Blues]

very nice! I really appreciate your precise and uncomplicated instruction. Thank you!

[@pasquinilli]

Thanks Bob! Keep training!

[@stone1556]

Really well done. Thanks. Will watch repeatedly. Study, practice. I've been carrying walking sticks since I was 1. Carved my first one from some drift wood; coincidentally, it's 50". Still have it. Been through a bit of Escrima, Irish stick (via Glenn Doyle), some of my own shtick from various martial arts. Now into Jo. Great to find these basics for the latter.

[@johnnywishbone932]

I use Kali a lot. I was also a instructor for Sheriffs. I have trained in other styles but a lot of older weapons stuff was not made for our today’s crazy world. I use what works and cut out the fluffy stuff.

[@caturanakmalaysia]

Nice! I love jo staff technique.

[@msw0011]

Hello there Matt. Great routine. Thank u.

[@pasquinilli]

Thanks! Where do you live? What are you working on?

[@OnlineRadioSchool]

Total random stumble by me...but sugoi yo!

[@scart-69]

Perfect Covid length to make ppl keep their Social Distance!

[@pasquinilli]

Haha. Yes!

[@bigyin2794]

All I do is cough...works every time

[@kyauldarius]

The thing is I use a broom stick, so I should be doing jo staff training.

[@pasquinilli]

Perfect size for sure!

[@eddiehickerson487]

welp, i broke my bo... so now i guess im learning how to do this now :)

[@jakewijnans7312]

I really wanted to start learning to fight with a staff but when i am a beginner which one is better to start with?? A 154 cm jo staff of 184 cm bo staff??

[@sherrattpemberton6089]

Entirely up to you. I recommend trying both and pick the one you like more. Although it is worth considering how much room you have at home and where you train. Also your logistics, how easily can you take your bo or jo to your training location. No sense in picking up a Bo to find it constantly hits your ceiling during training etc

[@antello3455]

learned all of this from a cheese maker once

[@Krystianne222]

Tabitha approves this comment

[@LeeJackson01]

Do you have a jo staff kata that incorporates all of these moves

[@pasquinilli]

Yes there are a few. I’ll make you a video when I get my staff back. I lost it when I moved to Florida and am looking for a replacement.

[@LeeJackson01]

@@pasquinilli - Thank you. That would be amazing!

[@skylab14]

🆒🙂👍

[@pasquinilli]

❤️🙏

[@tangobayus]

Seems to me the spinning stuff is not actually used in a real fight.

[@pasquinilli]

Good observation! Think of spinning as cross training and a great warmup.

[@tangobayus]

@@pasquinilli Steven Segal may not be a great example but I have noticed that he brings a fight to an end very quickly.

[@pasquinilli]

I love his old movies!
