Rooted in the samurai tradition, Jodo combines elements of combat techniques, strategy, and spiritual discipline, making it both a formidable martial art and a path to personal development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of Jodo can be traced back to the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan, a time marked by relative peace and stability under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was during this era that the art was systematized and popularized by the legendary swordsman and martial artist, Muso Gonnosuke Katsuyoshi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to legend, Muso Gonnosuke was defeated in a duel by the renowned swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who wielded a wooden staff (bo) against Gonnosuke's traditional sword. Inspired by his defeat, Gonnosuke retreated to Mount Homan in Chikuzen Province, where he underwent a period of intense training and introspection. It was during this time that he developed a new system of staff fighting, based on swift, precise movements and the principles of timing, distance, and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGonnosuke's new system, which he named Shinto Muso-ryu, emphasized the use of the jo as a versatile weapon for both offense and defense. The art's techniques were designed to exploit the staff's length and flexibility, allowing practitioners to engage opponents at various ranges and angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the centuries, Shinto Muso-ryu Jodo was passed down through a lineage of dedicated practitioners, each adding their insights and refinements to the art. In the modern era, Jodo has been codified into a comprehensive system of kata (pre-arranged forms) and techniques, which are practiced and preserved by martial artists worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Jodo is practiced not only for its effectiveness in combat but also for its value as a means of physical conditioning, mental discipline, and spiritual growth. Practitioners of Jodo, known as jodoka, study the art's techniques, kata, and principles, striving to embody the spirit of the samurai warrior in their practice and daily lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur store offers a curated selection of Jodo books that delve into its history, techniques, and philosophy.

Most of the literature is in Japanese.The Notebook is made to fill this gap in literature. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e450 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37753525665991,"sku":"","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2521\/products\/612k-1_YoxL.jpg?v=1607614356"},{"product_id":"jodo-way-of-the-stick-book-by-michael-finn-preowned","title":"Jodo Way of the Stick Book by Michael Finn (Preowned)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapters:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntro\u003cbr\u003ePersonal Anecdotes\u003cbr\u003eJujutsu History\u003cbr\u003eThe Jo\u003cbr\u003eJodo Seitei no Kata\u003cbr\u003ePast, Present, Future\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e120 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date: \u003c\/strong\u003e1999\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Preowned","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37753596838087,"sku":"","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2521\/products\/511K2ZH7RPL.jpg?v=1607614357"},{"product_id":"ajkf-jodo-manual-book","title":"AJKF Jodo Manual Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Jodo Manual explains Jodo Characteristic, Rei-ho(Manner) and AJKF Jodo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AJKF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41343063425223,"sku":"","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2521\/products\/050301-01.png?v=1636420750"},{"product_id":"jojutsu-the-art-of-the-stick-book-by-jurgen-bieber","title":"Jojutsu the Art of the Stick Book by Jurgen Bieber","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author describes the basic knowledge of Jojutsu and the techniques based on it in text and pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jo, a wooden stick with a length of about 128 centimeters, is called the \"weapon of the masters\", because the perfect handling of it combines the different principles of stick and blade weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is said \u003cem\u003e\"Stab like a a spear, swing like the halberd, hold like the sword.

His more than twenty books and long list of accomplishments support this argument. For this reason, we are publishing this anthology of articles that focus on this outstanding person. Although short in length, this book is rich in content covering the inspiring life and contributions of a leading pioneer in the Asian martial traditions. The author of the first chapter, Robert W. Smith, was a close confidant of Draeger during his career. With Draeger, Smith co-authored the classic Asian Fighting Arts (later renamed as Comprehensive Asian Fighting Arts). Smith was in a unique position to provide details about Draeger’s character, academic and martial skills.Donn Draeger wrote two letters to Smith (dated September 2, 1969 and June 29, 1981) that gave insight into Miyamoto Musashi. Smith was writing a book review and asked Draeger for his opinion on the historical swordsman. With the help of Joseph Svinth, Smith merged and edited these letters. This contains Draeger’s response in his typically ebullient tone of correspondence with Smith. Donn Draeger can easily be considered as the “father of Asian martial arts research” in the West since he conducted pioneering research in the field and was one of the highest ranking black belts in a number of Japanese combative arts. As a scholar, he became involved in a Japanese research society for martial arts, and built upon it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor Hugh Davey writes on the founding and influence of the International Hoplology Society Draeger founded. Draeger shaped the lives of several generations of martial artists. It was unknown to most that he had died in a Wisconsin hospital following medical treatments for natural sicknesses and perhaps for poisoning. In the last chapter, Dr. Friman tells of his discovery of Donn Draeger’s gravesite. Finding his grave in 1998 brought proper respects from friends, including Kaminoda Tsunemori, master of jo and sword. Scholars of combative traditions and martial arts practioners—especially those participating in the Japanese arts—will benefit greatly by reading this short anthology. Draeger’s life is inspiring to both the scholar and practitioner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e42 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted in 2016\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44466156765383,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2521\/files\/DonnDraegerPioneeringLeaderinAsianMartialTraditionsBook.jpg?v=1722061699"},{"product_id":"jodo-kyohan-book-by-tsunemori-kaminoda-nakashima-asakichi-hardcover-preowned","title":"Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo Kyohan Book by Tsunemori Kaminoda \u0026 Nakashima Asakichi (Hardcover) (Preowned)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWidely regarded as the \"Bible\" of Jodo, this is a massive coffee table sized book that is an almost complete manual of Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo.

The Fighting Staff is a modern illustrated guide to using one of man's oldest weapons. In keeping with his philosophy on fighting weapons, in this workbook McLemore does not attempt to duplicate methods from a specific period in the past. Rather, he offers an eclectic approach that borrows the most effective techniques from Asian and European martial arts throughout history. The Fighting Staff covers such essentials as footwork, grip, strikes, thrusts, blocks, and targeting. But its real value lies in the fighting concepts imparted, which serve as a language for advanced training. As always, your martial arts training is greatly enhanced by McLemore's beautifully executed drawings that take you step-by-step through 25 fighting drills for the martial arts staff. His use of frontal, side and overhead views, as well as his unique \"floating staff\" perspective, allows you to truly see how your actions correlate with those of your training partner (or opponent), as well as how and where your weapon moves. The training techniques taught in this book are not limited to the staff.
