I would also doubt that there is much likelihood of disarming an expert in Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo by throwing him having seized his jo. Someone inexpert yes,...

I agree and to that end you need to study them, particularly jo and Ken,
seperately. I personally do not think the aikijo that we often see at
demonstrations...

Shorinji Kempo is another martial art that comes to mind. The simplest way I can describe it is a cross between karate and aikido. They also have a strong...
The problem is that without Morihei Ueshiba, there is NO morality in martial arts. So I can appreciate that there are punches/kicks in Yoseikan (not ...
NO morality in Martial arts without Ueshiba? I think anyone training at the Shoalin might have cause to be just a little offended by that remark. They...
Is the kicks question that we practice kicking offensively, or we use kicks to practice defensively. We have certainly used the second. Interestingly at annual...

The kokusai senshusei have to complete a five staged test before graduation.
Self defense is a part of that and as such defense against kicks is taught.
So it...

Isn't a part of keeping balance means keeping BOTH feet on the ground? Your balance gets severly disturbed when you only have one point to base off of. So...

The official answer is that bothh feet on the ground is necessary for good balance. But if you watch Kancho Sensei in jiyu waza against multiple opponents he ...
So perhaps that's the reason why we don't do any kicks. I think most people know the real reason we don't do kicks is that
traditional clothing of Japan didn't...

I must have missed the point. Aikido is largely a defensive martial art and learning to kick seems a lot like being offensive. I would appreciate that learning...

Are there any formal jo nage (throwing after uke grabs the jo) in the Yoshinkan curriculum? I've seen one old film of Shioda demonstrating jo nage, but ...
I do believe it's up to the individual Sensei. But yes, I do believe there are a whole set of throws from when Uke grabs the Jo. . . "Keep your hands to...
