Great vid. I make hiking staffs & jo staffs out hardware store tool handles. Usually less than $10. The down side is you have to check for straightness by rolling them on the floor. These poles are very variable in quality. Do not get a broom handle. They are soft and light. Painter's poles or shovel handles (if you like a heavy pole) are made for tougher service. They have straight grain and denser wood. Some are made from manufactured bamboo they are superb. US oak is not suitable! It's splintery and brittle. The Japanese have a different species of oak which has good impact properties. Ash and hickory are excellent choices and are available as tool handles in hardware stores.

One thing to keep in mind oiling your staff is do not wad up the oily cloth or paper towel and leave it. It can self combust, some people have lost their homes to this. Spread the rags out side with a rock on top til it drys and then you can throw it away. Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county California.

I had 2 red oak jo (not sure if the plural is jos or not, doesn’t sound right to me) that I bought 10 years ago. Still got one and I love it. The other is still around but I chopped a bit off to get a Japanese hanbo, which can be easily disguised as a typical walking cane (which is where your cane self defence videos come in handy). Loving these videos, they’re informative and instructive. Keep up the great work sir!

As a martial arts instructor myself I love teaching and training in many weapons: single stick, double stick, single dagger, double dagger, long and short bladed weapons, staff, Karambit, tactical tomahawk, etc. I can pretty much turn anything into a weapon. So, I took your idea on making 2 weapons: the Jo 48" and the Hanbo 36". I went to the Home Depot and saw that they sell solid Oak dowel rods for cheap. I sanded down and beveled the edges and stained the oak with transparent oil base stain. I also hand waxed them. I only found the Oak in 36". Nice videos

I came here after researching walking sticks and self defense sticks. Because I wanted an idea for a stick that was small in length and diameter but can be used as a walking stick and defense tool but wasnt a cane or a long heavy piece of wood. The jo is PERFECT for what I want. After this video I really want to take a jo class though because Im too old for other martial arts......and I just like sticks. Haha. Also, I would like to find a cheap-ish jo in hickory but unfinished so I can make it my own. Oh by the way, the Blood Grove in knives is a misnomer. Its actually called a Fulller and is strickly for weight reduction. Just a friendly FYI.

Lowes, Home Depot, etc etc. You can buy the lighter wood dowels or opt for the heavier ones using better material. Various diameters. I carry a "collapsible" jo staff of heavy aluminum that was sourced from a discarded workout bar from my wife. I stripped away all the unnecessary foam until it was bare metal. It comes in two halves that is interlocked with a button lock. Very sturdy and hurts like hell. When I don't use that in jo mode, I can break them apart for Filipino Martial arts single or doble baston training.

A great intro thanks, I made my first jo staff and have started practicing. A comment about the boiled linseed oil (BLO), from making canoe paddles, always wear gloves when applying the BLO and it shouldn’t be used on items you will handle, because it isn’t actually boiled any more, now they make it dry properly by adding heavy metal based chemicals that help it plasticise and those heavy metal compounds are quite toxic. You will absorb the heavy metals through your skin. It’s not good, particularly bad for the liver and brain. Take care. Use coconut oil, tallow, walnut oil (beware nut allergy) or bees wax (it starts out a bit grippy/sticky but with some rubbing with a cloth it dries to a nice silky finish).

Hey Matt, thanks so much for the awesome tutorials, super stuff, my arms are covered in bruises! I was wondering when you use your bo or jo as a walking stick, how do you keep the ends from getting banged up from contact with the ground and wrecking the nice bevel or do you just accept it happening? Also from past carpentry experience - coconut oil is often used for chopping boards as it doesn't go rancid. Also something like beech has good antibacterial qualities and was often used for butcher's blocks and chopping boards too - in case your hardware store stocks beech dowels. Also, careful with your used oil rags as these can sometimes combust spontaneously!
@stevenscott2136
@stevenscott2136 3 жыл бұрын
Trim the end down to fit a rubber cane or crutch tip. I think they're 7/8 inch, but don't cut until you have one to measure. A store that sells medical stuff (canes, gauze, crutches, etc) should have them.

Made a bo from Home Depot pine dowel and finished with teak oil and waterbased Varathane. Used one inch pvc end cap on both ends and sealed the cap/dowel end with silicone sealant to keep water off the end of the dowel. The endcap is for wood protection and can be loaded with shot to add a little mass to the striking ends.

Make a hole with a cork screw or leather punch or i used to use a ten penny nail. There should be a hole on two opposing sides.

You might have to use your whole punching tool to help get the string from inside the ball out to the second side. Then wrap the string around the whole ball once or twice before you tie the knot.

Yes. That is true. So always lay flat to dry out and be sure it is not anywhere near a flame source like a gas furnace or gas water heater or anything else that can cause a spark. Good advice. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I have to laugh though, in Bo and Hanbo training, there is really no emphasis on twirling the stick. It's a great opportunity to drop the stick especially if it made contact with brush or small branches of a tree. I can tell this gentleman has never had formal training in Japan. The only time twirling is good is for show, so leave it to the marching band leaders. A trained Bo staff fighter makes the minimal moves. A wind-up or unneeded twirl gives the opponent a chance to attack when the stick in the arc behind your body. You just showed him when to strike. It is analogous to using a short unannounced jab vs a full round-house swing which one can anticipate. If you are going to show any Japanese martial arts, please learn to pronounce the words correctly...you'll have more credibility. As far as making your own Jo, popler is not dense enough. Go to the section of the box store that sells shovel, axe, and wheelbarrow replacement handles. If you are lucky, they will have a 1 inch hickory handle. Cut it down to 91.5 cm or about 3 feet and you will have an authentic weight Jo. (around 16 to 20 ounces). I too like the oiled finish vs varnish of his commercial stick which was an American interpretation. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for all your feedback. No I haven’t trained Jo or Bo in Japan. The spinning is not Kobudo or appropriate for Jodo or similar styles. That’s correct. I spin first for fun and second for conditioning and strength. I particularly love finger rolls for exercising extensors and flexors in the hand wrist and up to the elbow. It helps a lot with tendinitis and I get a lot of feedback from older followers that it helps to reverse “trigger finger” and other arthritic problems in the hands. Spinning isn’t for fighting though. I practice a blended style of Japanese (or Okinawan), Korean, and Chinese styles. And lately I have been trying to add some spins from Indian (or Tamil) Silambam. I would never advocate spinning as a self defense or combat move - unless it is a fantasy weapon like a double bladed lightsaber and you are being attacked in your imagination or on a movie set. Anyway, everything you say is true. I really don’t care too much about the pronunciation though. I have been in martial arts far too long and seen way too many people who hide behind theory, history, linguistics, etc.. who would have better spent their time training. It’s just the way I am though. It’s not right or wrong, just different. Thanks again for your comment!

The bo is an Okinawan kubodo item which the Japanese took and created their bojustus from. Note to people SE Asian romanization follows English capitalization: proper nouns of people. places, etc are title case,. otherwise they are not. Jo, bo, karate, etc are non of those so stop title casing every East Asian word!!!

Poplar is weak wood. May get another wood. They break on me. I can live with oak. The best is the root of tree, but you have to find the root. I have made 3. Finish with tung oil.
