Fun with Whit and stick

Here's some more video I've been holding onto for a while and now have finally had time to get it processed and posted. Here Whit and I are playing with a sword-throwaway from jodo. Legend has it that Draeger could break sword blades with techniques like this - I guess by driving them into the ground. I'm a long way away from that sort of ability.

And yes, I really do get a kick out of beating up on poor little kids - at least on this one. Whit would have probably kept coming back for more all evening long but I seem to remember it being about a million degrees outside that day.

And I'm sure he'll cherish every moment of every video like this...

"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate." (Psalm 127:3-5)

When it gets nice, say later in the Spring, I'd like to do some of that stuff on Saturdays, stuff I could use on my own kids

Sure, Kel. During nice weather seasons we have a standing jodo time after aiki on Saturdays - but only when someone asks for it. I'd love to play some jodo with you on Saturdays...

Wait, Don't go yet!
