About Aiki-Jodo

Aiki-Jodo translates as “Harmonizing energy way of the 4 foot staff.” This art not only has blocking and striking methods, but also incorporates locking, throwing, and disarming techniques, making this a complete weapons system. Furthermore, katas are taught to train the body to react in the most efficient way possible. During class, defenses are taught against other Jo, the Samurai sword, and while having no weapon.
Historically, the Jo was specifically designed to be used against a Swordsman, and was integral in defeating the legendary Samurai Miyamoto Musashi.
