Weapons Open Hand Kata

Harlow and Ongar Jikishin Ju Jitsu Clubs have many students training in Open Hand and Kata Ko Budo (Weapons Kata) and have regular practice sessions.  At Ongar Jikishin Ju Jitsu Club we have a large hall and plenty of room for weapons practice, at Harlow Jikishin Ju Jitsu Club, we have the use of spare Squash Courts for the practice of our weapons Kata.  At Harlow, the dojo has one mirrored wall and is excellent for the practice of kata.

John Philip demonstrating use of the SaiWe have many novices and beginners in Weapons training, and although this officially starts at Purple Belt for all students, we encourage our students to begin practice early, at Green Belt, so that by the time the student attends his or her first Ko Budo Course (these are held throughout the year by the Jikishin Ju Jitsu Association), the student will already have a good grounding in weapons.  Whether for improving their Ju Jitsu skills, or for competition, we aim to get our students at the top of their game in both forms of kata.
