Aikido Bow Staff Dropping Spiral Strike

Video Transcript

"Jogi one gets very dynamic from this point on, we're going to start covering a little more ground. We're going to be up and down a bit more. But, let's tie it all together. We're going to keep this all the same here. We have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, here's out first ski. And off line we did a yokoman. It was drawn down. We struck to the ribs, struck to the eyes, we came back. And we have ski and off the line. Well that worked pretty good the first time. Let's try it again. So we come in this side. But this time the sword is really on top of the game. They're not even coming in this direction anymore. They're going to stop and they're going to reverse. So now, as I'm here, my head is exposed. It's a danger. So I need to get down to the ground. So I came ski, I'm off the line, boom, I'm going all the way down here. So the sword passes over my head. It's just basically a dodge. I'm sure there's a very fancy term for that, but you're dodging the blade. I'm going to ski, off the line. I try it, boom, down I go. You want to get nice and low. Ski, off the line, boom, down I go. Go to a knee. Go to a deep squat. Whatever style, whichever motion that your style does, is absolutely fine. You just want to get below the blade. You don't want to just simply bend over. You want to squat. So I'm ski, off the line, boom, nice and low. That's going to set us up for the next portion of Jogi one."
