Скачать или смотреть Gyakute Jo Freestyle

Gyakute (thumbs-together grip) jo staff training during regular Friday class, May 12 2017. We were exploring a sequence which could end with either partner prevailing depending on who had a better connection/timing on the final sequence - thus, freestyle endings.

Since there are some unusual movements in this informal kata, here was the sequence:

A: Knee strike, B: block
A: Knee strike, B: evasion step
A: Block, B: step in to hook leg
A: downward strike, B: watershed block
A: -- B: quick / half-timing downward beat attack on opponent's jo

Possible ending 1:
B's downward beat attack succeeds, "bounces up" to throat or thrust

Possible ending 2:
A performs fast strike to A's ribs before next move can start.

Possible ending 3:
A performs fast rising rearward block, takes A's balance

Possible ending 4:
A is late on fast rising block, B follows with leg sweep or thrust

Of course, the endings were not planned ahead of time but allowed to develop. Participants Sensei Guy Hagen and Matt Stephen.
