Ninja weapons - stick (staff)
Bo is Oriental equivalent of the quarterstaff and is normally 6-7 feet long. Its hard wood makes it difficult to cut or break.
Hanbo (half staff) is 2-3 foot stick used as a weapon; practitioners often carry one in each hand.
Jo (stick) is a weapon about 4 feet long, between the bo and hanbo in size. It can be used one-handed and in pairs. The jo is a favorite weapon of ninja because it is innocuous; it is also called the shinobi-zue.
Tetsu-bo (iron staff): This is a bo with at least half its length sheathed in studded iron strips. It is often used by travelers because it can also serve as a walking stick.
