Interview with shinto muso ryu jodo sensei Fred Quant of the Shin-Shin Bu Ken Dojo in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Originally featured on the I-fight site. www.ifight.com

This writing describes the terms “Junte” and “Gyakute”, and in Iaido the corresponding terms are “Juntou” and “Sakatou”. In Jodo we have “Honte” which corresponds to “Kirite” in Kendo. These words are different for each art. There are 3 ways to take Kamae (or stance) with the hips: front on, side on, and in between. These stances naturally have their own names as well. Particularly in Jodo, there are two ways to grip things - Honte and Gyakute. To understand Honte and Gyakute, one must perfectly explain these things, internalise these techniques, and put them into practice. So even if you understand these words, it is a different matter to be able to perform them properly or not. Matsuoka Sensei wrote in his book that even when one looks up these terms in the dictionary it is still difficult to understand. Since the time I came to comprehend SMR Jodo, I realised the carelessness about these issues (both of my myself and others). Therefore, I would like to explain my style.

Interviews with Nishioka Sensei Can you explain about the concept of Kiri-otoshi? Is the concept of Kiri-otoshi wider than the technique of cutting / pushing down the attacking sword? Is there any relation between Kiri-otoshi and Aiuchi?

Les traditions qu'enseigne Jaff RAJI et avec lesquelles il empreinte ce chemin d'accomplissement de soi-même, s'appellent : AIKIDO, JODO et IAIDO. Ces trois voies contribuent au développement de l'unité de l'homme. Ces trois disciplines sont issues des traditions guerrières du Japon féodal du Moyen-Age et même plus anciennes. Elles ont eu aussi des traditions identiques dans nos sociétés occidentales du Moyen-Age. Une longue lignée d'hommes qui a contribué de fait à l'histoire de l'humanité. C'est avec grand respect qu'il considère ces hommes qui ont su perpétuer ces traditions et qu'il pratique ces disciplines.
