so weird how guy like this and a few others i wont name are showing the way i was taught budo years ago as a youngster ..its coming out finally...too many trapped with aiki/aikido and xkans and koryu dont realize what else is out there..sad thing is people say hes a poser...sorry he displays his skill here. just casue we dont have 5000 certs and densho dont mean jack nowdays. true is theres lot more where this comes from. and as far as posers its easy to see who is and isnt. if i can beat your ass with my knowledge i dont care what dan rank you have.\m/ good stuff.
Indeed, his moves seem like a breath of fresh air, maybe he is onto something, however, the way he displays them is very unrefined. You can definitely tell there is hardly any structural support and kinetic chain usage in most of these moves, which are concepts abundant in koryu and gendai budo. In this sense, the practical/combative application of what is shown here has not yet condensed into something substantial, perhaps in a 100 years the forms may be better. Don't get mad, this is just my opinion from observation.
KoRNeRd you don’t get it. “ Form” or “ rules” or “ rigidity” is merely a stage on the way to spontaneity and formlessness. Which do you fear most-water out of a faucet or a raging waterfall? Who are the most prone to injure you in the dojo; a black belt or a white belt doing sparring or waza practice? If you truly understood this Masters’ hand changes in his JO and what they really mean .... you would have an entirely different perspective and great respect and humbleness
Furthermore, this SENSEI is big hearted enough to explain theory and body mechanics. That’s quite rare! Only the smartest will appreciate that he has “ the art within the Art”. He has mastered optical illusion with spontaneity
I thought this too, and then I tested both on a hefty target. The "pool cue" slide had much more energy and caused more damage than the two handed thrust (similar to okinawan bo work)
Yes Bo against Jo it is a lot harder but I NEVER beat my Sensei who used Jo against my Jo or Bo attack. Admittedly my teacher was 10th Dan (Menkyo Kaiden)
Stick or bo it is the same thing, just different languages. The jodo staff was a riot control defensive weapon back in the 70's. It probably still is. I will say that I could better defend my home or a small room a jodo staff than a long stick, but if I were fighting in a forest I would prefer distance.
SA MA 嫉妬?嫉妬を抱くには彼は弱すぎる。彼を研究者だという擁護論もあるけど本人は自身を達人だと思っている。彼に弟子入りした武道経験者で彼を強いと思っている人は一人もいない。ホントの達人は普通に剣道界にいる。あんたらが知らないだけ。本物は口で説明するのを一番嫌います。試しに剣道場に入門して八段クラスのおじいさんに挑んでみたら?
