Jodo - Way of the Stick - Michael Finn

Jodo Way of the Stick' is a short, but interesting, introduction to the martial art of Jodo.

This has some anecdotes about the authors time in Japan, History of Jodo, information on the Jo and Gi, before covering various techniques and ways of applying them.

The techniques are clear to read and there are black and white photos throughout to further clarify the points raised. Ultimately this is best used in conjunction with training with a Sensei at a dedicated Jodo Dojo and this would make a worthy reference book for use before and after classes. This was originally written in 1984 and hence the style is a little dated now, but overall this is a clear and informative look at this art and is worth considering at some point.
