Aikido Kumi Jo 1 to 5 Morihiro Saito Sensei Teachings

Описание: This is a MUST know Aikido Kumi Jo 1 to 5 Lessons Demonstrated by Morihiro Saito Sensei

This is not a performance. This is transmission.

In this powerful training archive, Morihiro Saito Shihan teaches Aikido Kumi Jo 1 to 5—the paired jo kata he personally developed from his deep training under O-Sensei. What you see here is structured truth: each attack, parry, and counter refined over decades, not to win—but to harmonise.

You’ll hear Saito Sensei explain how O-Sensei entrusted him with foundational jo teachings but never formally outlined complete paired kata. In response, Saito Shihan composed 10 Kumi Jo forms, of which the first five are presented here—rooted in logic, safety, and true martial application.

This is not just weapons practice. This is Aikido’s philosophy made visible.

As Saito Sensei demonstrates each kata, he emphasises:

Precise footwork to avoid injury

Correct angles for receiving and countering

How to maintain martial realism while avoiding harm

Whether you're just starting with weapons or returning to refine your basics, these five Kumi Jo will realign your timing, spacing, and spirit.
