In this video, Stephanie Yap and Kaspar Jensen perform the 31 Kumi Jo in Iwama. This kata was devised by Morihiro Saito Sensei to allow paired practice of the movements of the 31-jo kata.
Stephanie Yap Sensei earned a 6th degree black belt and the Menkyo Kaiden in Aiki-Ken and Aiki-Jo which were awarded to her by the late Morihiro Saito Sensei, 9th dan. After graduating from the School of Engineering and Design in Miami, FL, Stephanie became a long term uchideshi (live in apprentice) in Iwama under Morihiro Saito. After this initial training period with Saito Sensei, she has subsequently made annual trips to Japan accumulating many years of living and training experience in Iwama. Stephanie is a member of Iwama Shin Shin Aiki Shurenkai headed by Hitohiro Saito Sensei, son of Morihiro Saito, and is the highest ranking female in the organization.
