Bo Staff Lessons
The Bo Staff Training is the central staff weapon of this school and is where you learn how to manipulate the staff in many different ways. It prepares you for the Yari/So (spear) kata of which there are 27 and 13 Naginata (Halberd) kata. So well over 100 kata using polearms it is a very extensive study and a lot of fun
All kata (training exercises) are done in pairs against a swordsman, so each kata has three parts you need to learn. The Bo movements, the sword movements and the timing and distance or relationship between the two practitioners or how the two parts fit together to create a lesson.

Google Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been training on and off with Craig and his team for over 15 years and only distance keeps me from going 3 or 4 times a week. Standard is 10/10 - Knowledge also 10/10 with a great friendly safe place to take your kids or yourself for all your martial arts training needs.
Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
Jo Staff Training
There are 8 Jo Staff Training Kata, and just like the Bo all are practiced against a swordsman so there are three parts to learn. There is also using the Jo while doing Jujutsu or against an unarmed person trying to attack you when you have a Jo. They might kick or punch or grab at you in some way or a mixture of those ways and you use the Jo as a self defence weapon to subdue or escape.
Even today the Jo is a policing weapon in Japan with police officers receiving training in how to use it along with Hojojutsu (rope restraints). There are many martial arts tyles that devote themselves only to Jo training and of course it is famous for being the only weapon to ever defeat the famous Samurai Miyamoto Masashi in a duel.
