  • The Japanese use "jo" and "bo" interchangeably, just like they use bujutsu and budo.

  • Actually, Jo does not have an approximate length, unless we are talking about what a ryha is calling something. Like I wrote earlier, the term jo is does not mean 4.2 Shaku..5 shaku, or 3 shaku. It depends entirely on the Ryu we are talking about. The Jubei no Jo, for example, is about 4.7 Shaku. So, it's case by case -or- in other words the term is relative. Books aren't always a good resource for some things, this is one.

  • Not always....unless we are talking about a modern measure. The term Hanbo is relative ryu by ryu!

  • Well the term "Jo" refers to a very definit length of 4.2 Shaku (old Japanese measure: 1 Shaku = 30.3 cm) which makes the Jo to be about 127 cm. Do not mistake the Jo used in traditional Japanese martial arts and the wooden stick of Karate (the Bo) which comes from China and is longer, and demands different techniques. You also find different techniques which are derived from the Yari (spear) and therefore need much longer wooden sticks... but they can not be called a Jo ;)

  • Because they are different.

  • if the techniques are taken from asayama ichiden ryu...then why is it "not" asayama ichiden ryu?

  • Oh yeah... Normally a Hanbo would be waist height. And I know these arn't hanbos.

  • Could be, I don't think it was meant to be for law enforcement per se, but I can easily see the bridge between the two!

    ;)

  • Not necissarily. The term "jo" just means short stick and there is no specific size. Ryuha have different lengths and girths depending on their history and "strategy". So what one group calls a bo, the other calls a bo, the other might call a tanbo. The bo in this video is far under 5 foot long.

  • Because it's not Asayama Ichiden Ryu. The school (Asayama Ichiden Ryu) is aucillary to this one.
