Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excelent Jo Staff.
I ordered the 72" version of this Jo staff and was very surprised at just how durable it appeared to be. Placing it atop a stool, I was able to put a considerable amount of pressure against this thin looking piece of wood, without any damage whatsoever. I would highly recommend this staff to anyone, who thinks that it will actually see real martial arts action.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bo Staff

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - couldn't ask for better.
This was exactly what i expected and came in less that a week. Very happy.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - You get what you pay for... sigh
Very lightweight, fragile, and poorly finished. Not sure what the "hardwood" actually is. It looks oak-like, but is far too lightweight for it's size.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Perfect for price
I was pleased with how promptly the jo arrived after I ordered it.
The finish on the staff was not something I desired, plus it was a little rough, so I sanded the staff down and oiled it. It is heavier than the practice staffs at my dojo, and I enjoy that. When I brought in my staff everyone remarked what a great staff it was, where I bought it and how much it was. Best purchase I've made in a while, just needs some sanding.
