The wooden staff of Japan, or "Jo", is a cylindrical straight stick of unassuming character with a length ranging from about 50" to 56" and a diameter of about 1". It is used alone in kata or paired with other Jo and closely linked historically with the Japanese sword. Staffs are inconspicuous and, owing to their elegance and simplicity, are preferred by some martial artists above all other weapons.
