Jodo Way of the Stick

`Jodo Way of the Stick' is a short, but interesting, introduction to the martial art of Jodo. This has some anecdotes about the authors time in Japan, History of Jodo, information on the Jo and Gi, before covering various techniques and ways of applying them. The techniques are clear to read and there are black and white photos throughout to further clarify the points raised. Ultimately this is best used in conjunction with training with a Sensei at a dedicated Jodo Dojo and this would make a worthy reference book for use before and after classes. This was originally written in 1984 and hence the style is a little dated now, but overall this is a clear and informative look at this art and is worth considering at some point.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

Arrived quickly, very pleased with it. Informative, with clear pictures and step by step guide for this traditional Japanese weapon.

Great

For anyone looking to discover the world of Jodo, no matter what your level of experience, this book is a great starting point. It contains an overview and history of the art of jojutsu as well as detailed step by step descriptions of the katas with easy to follow photos. I would reccomend it to anyone.
