This series of staves are made with 2 layers of impact grade hickory laminated together to form a strong, straight and defect free staff. This is the best wood possible for martial arts use. The hickory is strong, yet it is flexible to not be brittle when struck against other equipment. We hand oil at least 2 coat of a boiled linseed/mineral spirits mixture.



I ordered 2 so I can work on my coordination skills. Because these are small enough to use indoors, they can stand in for practicing club and mace movents when it is too hot, cold, or wet to practice outside.

I ordered this for shaolin style workouts. I also have a simple round bamboo Jo, but I am completely in love with the octagon shape. This is a very happy addition to my toolbox.

Features
2 layers of Impact Grade Hickory.

5 of 5 BEST Octagon Jo ever June 1, 2023
Reviewer: chris  
Take 3 baseball bats and squish them into a 1.5" diameter octagon pole and you have this item. It is very solid, perfectly straight and heavy duty. The diameter may be on the larger size. If you have smaller hands you may want the next size down. If you have larger hands/grip you'll have no problem with it.

5 of 5 Review of Octagonal Jo Staff May 28, 2020
Reviewer: Kevin Blake from West Chester, PA United States  
Could not be happier with the product and service.  I bought two, one for me and one for training partner, we both absolutely love them.  Were shipped shortly after purchase, arrived very shortly thereafter, and I have been swinging mine every day.  Would give the company an unreserved endorsement.

5 of 5 Beautifully Crafted November 7, 2016
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Shirley, NY United States  
I love everything about this staff. The look. The feel. The weight. The finish. Even the smell. It is a finely crafted weapon. BUT, make no mistake, this is a big heavy stick! At 1.5" diameter it is MUCH thicker and heavier than any jo or bo staff that I have ever handled. If you are used to a light, fast, and springy staff you may find this to be uncomfortable. You may also get some resistance if you bring it to class for contact sparring. On the other hand, if you make contact with this staff you will not likely have to swing it a second time. I could not be happier with this purchase and relish every moment that I get to train with it. I also appreciate the fast and reliable service. My order arrived quickly and very well packaged.
