STICK TRAINING

There are stories of armed samurai being defeated by peasants with a jo (150cm stick). These are weapons not to be under-estimated. The aim of the stick training is to show the uses, versatility, advantages and limitations.

The JO 4′ 150cm stick again offering versatility but now with the added safety of distance from your opponent. It can be handled with quick dexterity and is used in many different ways in self defence techniques. JO techniques have the added advantage of being able to be performed with a household item such as a broom or rake.
