Shintō Musō-ryū
Various other martial arts also include elements of "jō" that are not necessarily related to Shintō Musō-ryū. One of the most famous promoter of the "jō" outside of Shintō Musō-ryū in modern times, and indeed in the martial arts community as a whole, was the founder of Aikidō, Morihei Ueshiba. Ueshiba trained in a variety of ryu including Yagyū swordsmanship, but is not known to have trained in Shintō Musō-ryū. Ueshiba also used the long staff bō to perform the same techniques.
