Jodo - The way of the Jo, wooden staff
The staff is one of the oldest human instruments, and has been used since the beginning of time as a weapon. In the early 17th century the Japanese form of staff-fighting was defined, and it is being used in Jodo up to this day. The jo is easy to handle and provides the opportunity to use a wide variety of fighting techniques, for example hitting, pushing swinging.
