Re: Jo recommendations

You could tell yourself that the fancy ones are more likely to be vetted for faults in the wood.

Or that whatever nameless hardwood may be inappropriate for a weapon - I mean, a broomstick might be straight hardwood, but I wouldn't necessarily go wacking it around.

Or you could tell yourself that subconsciously you'd be trying not to hit too hard with the cheap jo, so your form would mutate and suffer.

Japanese white oak is a nice wood for a jo. And it's better to buy now before they adjust their price to reflect that a dollar only buys 89 Yen just now ...

I am not an expert
