I added the "kurod-period" description, the years between Gonnosuke and the start of Meiji-period for lack of a better term. I know the japanese like to use periods, like "showa"-period or "meiji"-period so I figured it wouldnt be totally inaproperiate.Fred26 12:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "...used in several seitei (modern) martial arts such as bujinkan..."

Some bujinkan practitioners might take issue with the bujinkan being labeled as a modern art. As a combined curriculum it may be new, but each of the nine schools of the bujinkan are about as old, if not older than SMR. I've removed reference to the bujinkan here since the correctness of this statement could be argued either way. Surely there are other modern jō staff arts which could serve as an example?--63.193.241.64 22:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me. The many controversial issues regarding Ninjitsu & Bujinkan shouldn't be discussed here in any case and as you said, there are better examples of jo-usage in other martial arts. This whole ninjitsu-thing is enough explosive as it is. I recommend the E-budo.com/forums for anyone interested in serious discussions regarding bujinkan. :) Fred26 07:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
