杖道 JODO
- Way of the short staff
CONCEPT
Jodo is strongly focused upon defense against the Japanese sword.
PURPOSE
Jodo training involves the study of basic movements and kata prearranged attack and defence movements.
As with other Budo arts, Jodo is designed to preserve the ancient combat techniques, but with the aim of helping the modern student to achieve control over mind and body through repeated practice. Regular training develops overall physical condition including coordination and posture, whilst the meditative aspects of practice also develop mental qualities of decisiveness and focus.
