Basic Bo Staff Tutorial

[nbukim0n]

hey is the graphite bo staff that you have for actual fighting? im new to weapons in martial arts and im thinking about getting a bo staff. i went to the link you put up and it said for "competition" does that mean its for competitive fighting or just competitions as in what looks the best? also, should i get a wood staff too?

[Spasti01]

Hi, can u tell me which bo do you use? I'm looking for a 2 piece bo like you have which is thinner at the ends. Is your bo a graphite bo which is red an blue? Is it thinner at the ends? Pls give me a link which bo you use, thank you! Your vids are great!

[mudvayne92]

@Spasti01 It's graphinte. I got it as a prepackaged deal with other gear back when I joined a branch of ATA tkd, but I think this is the exact same one I got. Hope this link helps, thx for watching :)

[darkiller118]

where did u learn to use a bo staff??

[ZekeZero010]

HO SHIT He was next door by me, until I moved to EAST SIDE!

[TrueHealthUSANA]

If I'm more into learning tricks with the bo staff what is the proper length I should get? I'm 5'6

[mudvayne92]

@TrueHealthUSANA that length is actually one of the more common standard lengths. The closest to your height you can get it, the better. So the 5'6" are perfect for you.

[Cooldude1304]

The problem is its not like your going to be walking around on the street with this thing if somebody just attacks you...

[dinnerandashow]

Hand combat is honorable, but beware the redneck with the pistol.

[0megajim]

great tutorial dude thank you

[TheUltimateAssasins]

u should wear a cup... seriously

[TheJamesmattin]

I've hit myself in the balls before. Effing kills...

[Taud]

i think you might be confusing traditional kung fu with modern wushu when youre reffering to the "chinese bowstaff the way it spins behind yur back...etc keeping it moving" that seems like wushu its very different

[Merasty70]

where do you buy one ? besides ebay!

[MrGarrett9929]

I highly doubt you could go through somene with that.n You could definatly break a rib though

[katherinegrig]

awsoma staff umm what wood is it made from coz the tornaments i use u cant use certain woods?

[445halo]

men put more videos on your a real teacher

[mudvayne92]

@445halo Thx man! I just got another camera so i might be able to fit some time in for a video. I really appreciate your support.

[atlmop66]

i have one question iam wontin to get into training with bo staffs does it matter what size you get???? plz answer

[mudvayne92]

@atlmop66 Yes. It's recommended that you get one that is at least a bit longer than you are tall. This is based on fighters trying to make sure that the length of their staff would be able to shield their whole body when needed. Just about all staff technique has been developed around this ideal length. I'm 5'9'' and my staff is 6' tall. Thx for watching. Hope this helped :)

[LoneQuarrel]

BORING.... You talk too much mate!

[Demonicbassist10]

Only Chinese rattan Bo Staffs r wobbly. I have a Chinese hard wood staff that doesn't wobble at all

[advythoh]

Hey what you're holding is not japanese or chinese particularly... its a tapered bo made for mainly more artistic forms and less combative styles. Even japanese and okinawa staff workers used non tapered bo staffs... except that maybe japanese used oak wood while chinese used rattan (rattan is yah a lil more flexible... but they were used by monks who meant to hurt not kill i guess). What you're doing is using a modern day tapered graphite bo staff or somethin like that. Anyway... neat post.

[maggot6460]

considering all kobudo weapons and japanese martial arts for that fact, come from okinawa 'japanese and okinawa staff workers' are the same. but you are right they are not taperd, and they used white oak for their bo staves.

[smartychris]

i learn tricking by by self i dont know how.....

[lisn92]

great video for people that are already studying martial arts, but you shouldnt really be posting videos on how to do martial arts, you should put a disclaimer at the beginner or the end of the video and in the discription just so you dont get people coming to you saying my kid poked his friends eye out after watching your video, but great video man

[zecs101]

your grass is going yellow u need to sort it out it doesnt look good on ure apperance.

[elgalanxsiempre]

buen tuto very good,excellent,fantastic

[tkdboy26]

[Minxfreakz]

Anyways, you are awesome

[linkfanatic13579]

[InZyLogic]

[Veng3ence]

the word "Bo" in japanese means staff :P

[teijos]

the word is "Bõ"!!!

[ShadowScarab]

i have the same staff- i'd recomend it to anyone- beginers and pros. great video btw.

[InZy022]

[ShadowScarab]

i got mine from a website called legend martial arts but i think they've stopped selling them so i'd recomend looking elsewhere for one. look for graphite bo staff.

[MarioKartsprinter]

[jimmyhumhum2]

great vid, 5*

[aazazaz]

[Kolashov]

altough this aint realy a tutorial , i like using it to greate combos and test myself :)

so in a way , your vid is inspiring ^^

[mondayslaskar]

I was wondering if you could do a butterfly attack? :)

[fooralaman]

Main reason why people slide the staff is to get maximum reach with it, tutorial wasn't bad though

[claydude333]

nicely made video, you really know your stuff, now I really wanna join my Karate place again...

[DannHyuga]

[LysolRox]

Wow. How long did it take you to learn this?

I'd love to learn! This is really cool. You're good too.

[thatsaburn]

thx a lot. me and my friends have been messing around with swords made out of pvc pipe and foam (so it doesn't hurt) and i just made a bo staff! i cant wait for the look on their faces when they see how good i am because of this vid!

[breaker69alsomagicia]

Where did u get that Bo Staff from?

Good tutorial as well

[erissecabo]

tnx for the tutorial

[lordtains]

I like your style. What sports do you do where you learn Bojutsu?

Yeah in a real fight it is best to hold it like that. Chinese staff moves are not very usefull in a fight. Like your staff as well. Is it made of wood, or metal? How heavy is it?

[mudvayne92]

I do Songahm TaeKwonDo, and that's where I learned this from.

Haha, yeah, totally agree! Mine's made out of wood, but I'm not sure about the weight though.... :/ sry. But like idk, somewhere around a little less than a pound... i'm not really sure...

[Kestrel150]

@mudvayne92 i wish how taekwondo was like that, i do ITF Taekwondo, and never seen them used...id love to try it out though =D

[streamlap]

nice video, i do taekwondo, but we don't realy learn how to fight with sticks and stuff :(. i realy want to learn this art...

so i'm looking for tutorials the get some knowledge about it. :)

greetz

[mudvayne92]

Well I hope I helped out. :)

[streamlap]

[mudvayne92]

THX man! Really apreaciate it
