Aikido Weapons: Jonage 4-Directional Throw With Jo Staff

Video Transcript

"This next one is, again a Jonage, we're going to present it the same as we have, almost like we're doing a tsuki or a thrust, he's going to grab it, and then we'll turn it into another technique that you guys know very well from empty hand. So this is called Shihonage. Okay, so I tsuki, I present. From here there's a lot of different entries, since he's already off line, you see how he's protecting himself, we're going to do a much more traditional entry than we normally do. So, we're going to slide through here, bring this up, pivot; you got to keep the hand over here this time, this is a little bit backwards, but then we're going to slide down. So, from here. Alright, I tsuki, then we're going to bring this to his front, step, and cut. Sliding through his front, pivot, and cut. That's the Omote or the direct style, we can also do an Uda. Once we tsuki, I can step near his foot, bring this up and around, and then down. Try to go always far behind as you can. So instead of going this way, we're going to go to the backside, stretching him out, and down."
