Aikido In Training - Excerpt from JuKen Dori

“Aikido’s Forgotten Art“. This vital DVD demonstrates and discusses the lost art of JuKen Dori (bayoneted rifle defense). Practiced and taught by O’Sensei during the Aiki-Budo (1931-41) and early Aikido era (1942-46). O’Sensei developed techniques, using the principles of Aiki, to disarm an attack from JuKen. Through the practice of JuKen Dori one can develop a greater understanding of O’Sensei’s Jo-Dori (Staff taking).
