Aikido Jo - Morihiro Saito

Master Saito's Jo techniques are considered the best of the best. In fact it is said that he obviously favored this weapon over most others because of its practicality. The Master not only teaches the basic simple techniques but he also will show you many advanced combinations that are unbelievable. Master Saito's smoothness and skill level are top shelf. He also teaches the original version of Aikido's Jo Kata, teaching each of the 31 moves in three different directions so that you can see each and every move. This tape also has the master demonstrating as well as teaching a class of foreign students the usage of the jo, and this is in full color while the first portion is B/W, and was shot at the same time as his 5 volume book set was photographed.
