Traymond Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Has any one ever tried to use the iai techniques of Iaido using a jo, and if so what techniques have you done with it, im just curious as to how people train using the kobudo weapons in other various ways as such by symbolizing other weapons.

bushido_man96 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Wouldn't it be kind of tough to do Iai techniques with a jo, because they involve the drawing of the sword? Just wondering; it seems like it would be ackward to me. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Traymond Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 If you cannot afford a saya, how do you practice iai techniques with the bokken, using your hand or using your obi...thats how I use to do it before I could afford the saya. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku
bushido_man96 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I think the bokken would function a bit better, since the jo is a bit longer than the bokken, and not balanced as such. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Traymond Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 and not balanced as such.You definately got a point there. To fear death is to limit life - Xin Sarith Azuma Phan Wuku
brokenswordx Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I used a eskrima stick when I 1st started because there weren't any bokkens avalible.EDIT: No I'm wrong I used it for kendo. . .sorry. ^^; <3
