AIKIBATTO JO, ten staff against sword exercises for aikido students, by Stefan Stenudd

Aikibatto is a system of sword and staff exercises for aikido students, consisting of ten forms (kata) of sword against sword, and the same number of kata with staff against sword. Here are the latter ten, with JO (staff) against sword.

In partner exercises like these, a wooden sword (bokken) is used instead of a sharp blade, for obvious reasons. Also, these exercises are based on the sword against sword versions but modified so as to work with a jo. For comparison, here is the sword against sword version:

The idea with aikibatto is to practice Japanese sword and staff art basics in an aikido manner. That mainly means every technique starts with the taisabaki evasive movement.
