A film clip from Warriors of Budo: Episode Six… featuring Jodo or short staff. This special Koryu class of Shinto Muso-Ryu Jodo takes place at the Kashima Shrine which is dedicated to Budo and features a wonderful training hall. Kashima is not far from Katori Shrine and both share equal importance in the history of the sword in Japan. A large blade designated as a National Treasure of Japan known as the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword is housed in the treasure house of Kashima Shrine.
