Bojutsu (棒術), translated from Japanese as "staff technique", is the martial art of using a staff weapon called bo which simply means "stick". Staves are perhaps one of the earliest weapons used by man. They have been in use for thousands of years in Eastern Asia. Some techniques involve slashing, swinging, and stabbing with the staff.
Today bojutsu is usually associated either with Okinawan kobudo or with Japanese koryu budo. Japanese bojutsu is one of the core elements of classical martial training. In the Okinawan context, the weapon is frequently referred to as the kon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in Japanese Martial arts like Bojutsui,this book would be a great collection for you! 【CONDITION】 This book was published 14 years ago ,so slight yellowing and stains on the cover and pages.The upper part of dust jacket is very slightly damaged.But it is in very good condition overall.
