Bōjutsu
(
棒術
?
)
, translated from
Japanese
as "staff technique", is the
martial art
of using a
staff
weapon
called
bō
which simply means "staff".

Staves have been in use for thousands of years in
East Asian
martial arts like
Silambam
. Some techniques involve slashing, swinging, and stabbing with the staff. Others involve using the staff as a vaulting pole or as a prop for hand-to-hand strikes.
Today
bōjutsu
is usually associated either with
Okinawan
kobudō
or with
Japanese
koryū
budō
. Japanese
bōjutsu
is one of the core elements of classical martial training.
Thrusting, swinging, and striking techniques often resemble empty-hand movements, following the philosophy that the
bō
is merely an "extension of one’s limbs".

Consequently, bōjutsu is often incorporated into other styles of empty-hand fighting, or
karate
.
In the Okinawan context, the weapon is frequently referred to as the
kon
.
