In the early 1600s, master martial artist Muso Gonnosuke was defeated by Musashi Miyamoto. Humiliated, Muso isolated himself. During this period of time, he conceived the idea of a new form of staff fighting that used a shortened stick four feet in length. The Jo combines the techniques of the spear, sword and the naginata, Japan's halberd. In the words of author Tom Lang, "The jo is a humble weapon with a noble history; a simple weapon of great complexity."
