31 Kumi Jo Aikijo Bukiwaza
The 31 Kumi Jo (Kumijo) is the partner practice for the Aikido 31 Jo Kata. The 31 Kumi Jo (Kumijo) was organised by Morihiro Saito Sensei who learned the 31 Jo Kata from O Sensei during his 25-year service and tutelage. By the way, as far as this article is concerned, we will spell ‘Kumi Jo’ and ‘Kumijo’ interchangeably, because both spellings are correct.
Osensei was working on the Aikijo, Aikiken, and Aikido during his retirement in Iwama. Saito Sensei was Osensei’s assistant during that period in Iwama Japan.
