Budovideos.com - Mitsugi Saotome: Staff of Aikido DVD

In this video, Saotome Sensei -- a direct student of Aikido's legendary founder -- explains the use of the staff (jo) as a training tool for Aikido. After discussing basic jo movements and exercises, Saotome Sensei offers a sequence of six kumijo (complex two person kata), each with several variations. The video also includes ten of Saotome Sensei's "patrol kata" (paired forms with the long staff), a brief interview on weapons training, and several spontaneous demonstrations.

Format:	DVD NTSCNTSC is the standard video format used in North America and parts of Asia. This DVD will play on any standard DVD player in North America or other country where NTSC is used. Most relatively new DVD players have the ability to convert signals from NTSC to PAL or vice versa. We sell NTSC and PAL DVDs to customers all over the world on a daily basis without much problem. Occasionaly there are a few customers with older set top DVD players that cannot do a signal conversion. If you have any doubts about the ability of your DVD player to properly convert the signal, please referance your manufacturer's instruction manual. Because a computer is neither PAL nor NTSC, you should have no problem playing an NTSC or PAL DVD on your computer.

a very nice presentation of a master. Saotome sensei is one of the deepest living connections to the founder himself. A true artist, Saotome sensei's expression is captured beautifully in this video.
