Jō
Or average Bâton is a Japanese traditional weapon in Bois a length of 1,28 Mètre. It is used at the time of the practice of the Aïkido ( aiki-OJ ), of the Jōdo and OJ-jutsu.
The stick of jō , from intermediate size, is different from the Bō (long stick) and from the Tambo (short stick).
The jō is the object of the Jōjutsu or Jōdō , art of the handling of the jō vis-a-vis an adversary armed with a saber (represented by a Bokken). It is also employed within the framework of the Aiki-jō , element of the Aïkido, either within the framework of disarm with naked hands of an attacker armed with a jō, or within the framework of Kata S of harmonization to two practitioners handling each one a jō.
The jō is famous to be conceived by the fencer Muso Gonnosuke who, after a defeat vis-a-vis Miyamoto Musashi, sought a sufficiently long weapon to have a significant advantage of lengthening-piece on the saber, but sufficiently runs to remain more handy than the lance ( Yari ) or the Bō.
Today it is always used by some Japanese police force .
