if Dojo is "place of the way", is Jodo "way of the place"?

does downwind mean the same as wind-down?

crappy example, couldn't think of a better one on the spot. would you want to be downwind of a jodo dojo as they wind-down their practice on a hot day? ok i am studying/ procrastinating now, please make allowances for lame humour. And I don't know the answer to the original q. doesn't seem likely to me...

hah, hah, great question!!

Dojo = 道場
Jodo = 杖道

The kanji for JO is different. In the first instance it means "place," in the 2nd "stick."

道場 = "a place to practise the way" (if you like)
杖道 = "the way of the stick"

The Way of Joe? Would that be right up there with the Tao of Steve?
