Red Oak Jo Staff Description

These are the standard for all Aikido practitioners and many traditional Jiu Jitsu and Ninjutsu practitioners too. They are made in a hard wood red oak a very durable wood and has become the standard for Japanese style martial arts training weapons.  Red Oak is super durable and will take the level of training inflicted upon them.  These are a really tough weapon and will stand up to some abuse, but don’t forget it is wood. Wood can break so a real thumping could end up with a broken stick. Look after your staff and it will last you for years. 

 

They come in the standard 50" length, if you want a shorter staff Red Oak can be cut quite easily and doesn't really produce any splinter. However make sure you sand the cut end just in case. If you want a thicker Jo Staff (thicker than the standard 2.5cm diameter) this might be possible, just contact us at the shop if you have this requirement.

 

Made in the standard Jo Staff length of 4ft / 50 inches / 127cm. You can also buy the Jo Staff Case to store and carry it in.

 

Advice from the shop on Red Oak Jo Staff

“If you really want to have the best possible staff, take some sandpaper to the varnish and give it a few coats of linseed oil. It’ll make a massive difference to the feel of the staff.”

Doug Swift – Owner of Enso Martial Arts Shop

Love the staff! Proper weight and hardness for its dimensions, good diameter, feels great on my hands for traditional and fancy movements. Dangerous to maneuver fast, as it should be. Treat it with respect - it is a real solid wood weapon - and you will get the most of it.

Product arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Staff itself feels sturdy and strong and is nice and smooth in the hand without any sticky or gritty feeling that some other wooden weapons I've handled have had. Staff matches up to product picture and specifications so no concerns there either. Great product and service, would purchase from this store again.

Well packaged. Prompt delivery, which was economical because I was buying two staffs and a good option because of the petrol shortages.
I found the short videos on the website useful.
Very pleased with the jo staff.

Nice Jo staff. Good for practicing when you've not got room to swing a taller bo staff, or for kids. Good weight and balance, came well protected in transit. Only negative is it doesn't match the finish on my nunchucku but hey ho, you wouldn't know unless they were side by side so can't mark it down, still looks nice :)
