Jodo (Jōdō – 杖道), is a traditional Japanese martial art using a short staff called the jō.
Devised in the 17th century, Jodo is aimed at self-defence against an attack from the sword; it enables you to suppress your enemy’s offence: and its spirit is to give him a lesson without inflicting a wound. Techniques include thrusting, parrying, and striking.
Jodo practice will develop your mind-body coordination, posture and general fitness. The styles we train are Seitei Jodo and Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo.
Training is on Thursday evenings from 6pm.
You are welcome to come and join or watch training.
