Is there anyone who does #iaido or #koryu #kenjutsu who would recognise the chiburi from this kata (#AikiToho by #aikido sensei #Nishio)?
I’m not sure how well the hive mind on Mastodon will work but I’ve been looking for the answer for some time. Some charts list it as a chiburi from #SuioRyu while others don’t. High ranking people from Suio Ryu didn’t recognise it. A practitioner of Aiki Toho stated error in table. But I haven’t been able to link to any other school.

I think a lot about how the #sai would really be the perfect #aikido weapon. While they can be lethal, they are blunt weapons and thus not primarily for killing. They defend against longer and bladed weapons, so need to utilise and evade their power. Sai can also be used to lock up weapons and opponents and (I imagine), throw them.
I have rarely seen it used in the art. Though I have played with some things. E.g. an application of ikkyo (also influenced by the #Nishio iai kata).

Today was the first day of a three day seminar with #Iwakata sensei, one of #Nishio sensei’s main students. So a unique style of #aikido and also Nishio Toho #iaido. In #Jyvaskyla. Still lots of time to come and try it: full day tomorrow and Sunday.
My 39th #aikido dojo, the #ASCS dojo in #Strasbourg. #PaulMuller is the main teacher (but wasn’t there today). A mixture of #Nishio and #Chiba aikido. Very nice practise. Thank you!
@maphew it is a form of #iaido (solo sword drawing and cutting) work that #Nishio created to connect with #aikido. A great way to properly learn how to use a real katana as you can do it with a real blade, or a practise blade. It’s very beautiful and meditative and allows for practise even when not at the dojo. You can see some here:
We had a wonderful session of #AikiToho today — the #iaido form developed by #Nishio sensei that was created to tie into #aikido. Courtesy of #MikkoSuikki, one of the last people in Finland who can teach it. I recommend it for anyone keen on aikido and/or the use of a katana.
