YODA Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 Hi Spooky Dog What lineage of Aikido so you practice? Are you familiar with Sensei Chiba's Jo system and his "Sansho" form? If not I would recommend you look at it.

spinninggumby Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Spooky Dog: I remember the 31 Jo Kata! That is like the one thing that I remember out of my 8 years of aikido training LOL besides the rolling and hard falls on the tatami mats. I learned some staff forms in kung fu too so sometimes when I practice or mess around at home I get some steps mixed up between styles, LOL. I miss those days back at the dojo, even when my instructor (6th dan highest in USA, lol) force-stretched me . If you or anybody else is interested here is their web site (they probably didn't have this site up back then lol). http://seattlekisociety.com 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND'
