Aikido throwing techniques done with the jo, or short staff.
What are the principles involved?
- Relax shoulders.
- Use hips, not arm strength.
- Extend whole body power into the tip of the jo.
- Use on/off principle in dealing with resistance.
- Use leverage and free movement of the whole jo.
- Feel!
- Move around point of contact with jo or body movement.
Jo nage is a training tool which I think is not practiced enough to explain and get used to Aikido's main principles. Following I have found a few jo nage clips from Ki Aikido's curriculum.
Enjoy practice.
