At Butokuden, we can also play Jodo. This is the basic practice. We do this movement after Kata.
Jōdō meaning "the way of the jō", or jōjutsu is a Japanese martial art using short staffs called jō. The art is similar to bōjutsu, and is strongly focused upon defense against the Japanese sword. The jō is a short staff, usually about 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 m) long. However, the art was not used, as one might expect, by travelers to ward off aggressive bandits or swordsmen. The martial art of jōdō was the province of professional warriors.
BUTOKUDEN Dojo Martial Arts Training Center is located in Irvine, California. We have classes in various Martial Arts, such as Kendo, Kyudo, Karate, Jodo, and Aikido. Please visit our web site at www.butokuden.com.
