Please see MA220. A Staff weapon wielded in one hand uses Broadsword skill. You might be able to try to claim you'd still use the +2 Parry, but that makes absolutely no sense, particularly with the jo (which is already usable with Broadsword, but doesn't get the bonus there; there's no realistic reason why the jo would get a +2 to Parry when wielded one-handed by characters with ST 12+). Again, the +2 to Parry is a function of the Staff skill (in conjunction with a compatible weapon, note dueling polearms don't get it), not a property of the weapon itself.
