Aikido Weapons: Jodori Disarming Hip Throw

Video Transcript

"Okay, this next technique is a little bit more advanced. We want to be very cautious with it. We're just going to apply the same technique that we did, and add a little twist to it. There are different ways of getting into these techniques. You have to find which one works best. And, you know, some things don't necessarily fit each individual body type. And some of the techniques don't seem to match as well. You might modify or go into another thing. That's why we did modification for the tontodori or what not. So, let's go back to the inside. So he's going to attack, he does a tsuki, we can go here. Then we'll draw, bring this up. As we're going through, I'm going to step, get my hips in the way, and bring him up. This should be fairly comfortable. You should be able to walk around like this all day, and it's really the bending, the twisting of the hips that's going to do the throw. It's not a big--cranking him or anything like that. So we're just going to come in, same thing. Bring this back, scoot our hips in, up and over. Okay. Good. Okay. For practice, let's not throw. Nice and easy. We're going to get in, boom. Want you to feel his balance. We're going to tenkan, slide back in, and then we want to gently bring him up. Wobble for a little bit and set him back down. Same thing. Up and over. Once you get this forward, move it with your hips. Take a little step, get your hips set, get him loaded. Set for a little bit, make sure you've got the balance, and set him back up, give the jod, and try again."
