Aikido Jo Suburi

23/04/2021 Posted by Crom Salvatera Bukiwaza

How to do the Aikido 20 Jo Suburi

First of all, let me say that the 20 Jo Suburi are the building blocks of Aikido Jo or Aiki Jo (Aikijo). The 20 Jo Suburi is part of Aikido’s Bukiwaza.

What is a Jo Staff?

Aikido Jo (Kanji: 合気杖 Hiragana: あいきじょう) is the name given specifically to the set of martial art techniques practised with a jō (a wooden staff about 143 cm or four feet long), according to the principles of Aikido.

The Jo Suburi is the base to Aikijo (Aikido Jo), which leads to 10 Kumi Jo, 13 Jo Kata, 13 Kumi Jo, 31 Jo Kata, 31 Kumi Jo and all the various Jo Aikido techniques. Know the 20 Jo Suburi first before you attempt to do the other Aikijo techniques.

Bukiwaza (Weapons techniques) are set kata drills that help you learn and master the movements and numerous Aikido forms.

Jo techniques were introduced into Aikido by Osensei Morihei Ueshiba and further developed by Morihiro Saito Sensei, one of Osensei’s most prominent students.

Morihei Ueshiba Osensei taught the Aiki Jo to Morihiro Saito Sensei. Saito Sensei, in turn, developed the Jo Suburi so he can pass Osensei’s Aiki Jo to Aikido Students.

 

Bukiwaza and Taijutsu (Body techniques or unarmed techniques) are related to each other. Suburi literally means ‘drill’ or ‘swing’ in Japanese.

There is an old Aikido saying…

‘When doing taijutsu think like you are doing bukiwaza. When you are doing bukiwaza think how you can apply it to taijutsu’.

The 20 Jo Suburi teaches the Aikidoka (Aikido Practitioner) how to tsuki (thrust), cut, throw and much more.


The 20 Jo Suburi is Divided Into Five groups

 

Iwama Ryu, 20 jo suburi, Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, Osensei, Iwama Aikido, Aikido Masters, Iwama Style, Aikido, Good Aikido, Real Aikido, Aikido Techniques, Aikido Video
