Tanjo Techniques

Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo is more than just jo.

There is, of course, kenjutsu, but then there is other weapons syllabus as well.

The other night at kenjutsu training we spent the last half hour doing tanjo.

The tanjo is about the size of a walking stick. Very practical, it is a modern addition to the system appearing in the 1800's due to the modernisation of Japanese society and Western influence.

I enjoyed it very much and look forward to more. This system is so fascinating.
