A lot of people like Kingfisher too. Just talk to your sensei about different types of woods. Mine prefers us to all have white oak and kind of put the kabash on me getting a hickery jo from Kingfisher. I have also seen some lovely purpleheart jos as well. Do your research and ask around. I'm sure you will find something. Also, places like Kim Taylor's and Kingfisher's will customize the length for you.
