	Jojutsu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Jojutsu is a Japanese martial art using staves, similar to Bojutsu.
		The modern study of the jo, known as jodo (way of the stick), usually leads to other arts and weapons, such as the heavy club (tanjo), the chained sickle (kusari-gama), the fast draw (iai), as well as to blows in karate and kempo or throws in judo and aikido.
		Today, jojutsu has also been adapted for use in the Japanese police force, who refer to the art as keibo soho, or police stick art.

		Today, jojutsu has also been adapted for use in the Japanese police force, who refer to the art as keijo-jutsu, or police stick art.

		Katsujin-ryu Jojutsu is an element of the Katsujin-ryu Bukijutsu curriculum.

		Jojutsu the "Art of the Stick" is arguably one of the most diverse if not challenging martial arts to ever develop in Japan.
		This ability was one of the contributing factors that enabled Jojutsu to maintain its combat effectiveness, even during the long period of enforced peace that the Tokugawa Shoganate brought to Japan.
		Another of the factors that also enabled Jojutsu to retain its combative nature was the adoption of the Jo by the law enforcement agencies of the Tokugawa (Edo) Period through the Meiji Period (1868-1912) and can still be seen in modern Japanese Police crowd control methods.

		Iwata trained with Fujita in the art of Jojutsu for many years, and in 1943, Iwata was honored by Fujita as shihan (master) of Dai En Ryu Jojutsu.
