Martial Arts Weapons Training : Bo Staff Techniques for the Martial Arts

[timothyclogsdon1022]

well done!

[RicksonGracie1]

Even this little kid is a blackbelt. They must give those away like candy at his school.

My two problems with this video.

1. The attacker is aiming beside the defenders head which gives the defender in a false sense of security. In My experience when a person is used to attacks coming at them they can't defend a real attack because they've never been forced to move.

2. The attcker moves his hand almost to the end of the staff allowing his arm to be caught. If he would have kept it in its original position the defender would have hit his own head with the attackers staff.

With that said, it would, in theory, make sense that a coloured belt could beat a black belt in a fight, provided he is a talented martial artist and fighter. This does not make belts useless, though. Belts are very good at keeping a student motivated and giving him set goals to work towards. In my opinion, if a student is only in it to get the black belt and show off, then he does not deserve it, period.

[gdog066]

@rza2ch Actual use: Belts are only used to keep your gi top closed.

In the US: belts are used to show the student that they are making progress, because they cannot see it unless you show them they are making progress.

Business side: testing for a new belt is to get more money out of you.

I used to teach for a big martial arts company and the business side is very true, unfortunately.

[rza2ch]

The west has been completely mislead regarding the meaning of a black belt. It has mostly become commercialised and is a material object which is supposed to be proof of ones abilities. Really, one would only receive a black belt when he UNDERSTANDS the art is he is studying. The instructor in this video obviously doesn't know the concept of what he is talking about in most, if not all, his videos and the child is too young to understand what he is doing.

[VskitzophraniaV]

Belts are almost useless now since most blackbelts are as skilled as white belts these days

[davehayes2204]

Think that was cool? You should see this guys technique with a knife and fork!

[brokenhalo240]

@davehayes2204 LMAO

[DiabolusIgnis]

@davehayes2204 That steak was gone within seconds, man!

[sh6843]

i kick ass for the lord!

[AbbyxBaby]

its not a fucking bo staff.

[desertfoxfilms]

It can actually be called a Bo or Bo staff. It doesn't really matter. It's the same weapon. Like bike and bycicle. A little changed name same thing.

[desertfoxfilms]

Christian martial arts? I go to all American karate school. But I know one thing. If I had a Christian martial arts school I would call it Kung Fu Jesus karate school. Lol.

[Margui622]

Thanks for the information, Scottbaioisdead. Then you need to correct the information about the cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because in Wikipedia its call Bo Staff the weapon used by Donatello (the brainy turtle who use a purple bandana)

[TheEirikMan]

I definetly won't be messing around with that kid! He's got some real skills!!!

[jeffdoeskungfu]

Yeshua's Ryu karate... Does that mean he learned Jesus karate?

[BOBTAYLOR1978]

thank u can u tell me how to sweep with the bostaff thank u

[HoldOnAndSmile]

I am guessin that the kid just grabbed any belt laying around b4 the filming.

how da 'ell can a 6 year old be a black belt.?

oh wait!...this is for entertainment!.

[shadow1403]

As an assistant instructor at my school I find if very dissapointing to see black belts this young. We refuse to promote black belts until the age of 14 minimum. Giving a black belt to someone that age only provokes two things. It gives them false confidence and there going to mouth off to wrong person. And causes kids to quit early. His body isnt fully developed yet how can you say hes mastered it......oh and the bow staff techniques are a little....ill be nice :)

[TheSpunFire]

@shadow1403 I totally agree with you. I didn't get my black belt in TDK til I was 16yrs old. It took me 3yrs to get it. I dont do staff, I'm more of a short sword guy, but the stuff he has here...just shit, compleat and utter shit.

[lokelley]

getting a black belt does NOT make you a master. It is a symbol that you know the basics of the style and are ready for more advanced training.

Now I think the kid is a little to young, may be he is a junior black belt or something.

[VicTricks]

Its no the younger blackbelts that bother me. It's when there are too many that makes me suspicious. ^^

[VicTricks]

Normally I would agree with you, but there is a 9 year old black belt in my class. And the little Vietnamese kid has great technique! ^^

[pepcozpepcoz]

this is terrible i do lau gar and this is so impractical

[atmosfearz]

Christians like little boys sticks aparantly.

[zer0dahero]

Is this guy joking? Please tell me this is a joke.

[spartanace7777]

Yeah, as a black belt I'm with you, BruderAntonellus. Not only is the first technique worthless crap, but it leaves your stomach and ribs open to a kick.

[BruderAntonellus]

The first Technique is almost worthless in Combat as for the Second one why not just go for the head while he is off balance? That guy wouldn't last two minutes in an actual fight...

But whatever....

[juju6182]

agreed.

[Dall5000]

Christian Martial Arts? That's just sad. From that, I'd say it lacks the Philosophy in Asian Martial Arts.

[reon9]

This is what happens when nerds leave the basement. please stop posting your videos me and my friends getting tired of makeing fun of you what a joke.

[seishin48]

that kids a 1st dan at that age ? this is another joke m/a ..

[XalanRoadheart]

just out of curiosity, how long do u think it should take some1 to become a 1st deg black.

took me 7 years.

[seishin48]

it took me 5years in judo and 5 for my 2ed dan in iaido it all depends on the teaches and the associations there is lot out there that do it only on time or for money this to me looks like its more of a business than a martial art federation .

[kboy3141]

and your point...

[coltonapo18]

GDOG MUNCHES DOODOO'S PEBBLES

[tman78au]

Best comment so far :D

[HongsiquanWingDing]

funniest comment ever.

[doodoopebbles]

who cares ass munch, knowing technical terms doesn't determine your proficiency...fighting with a weapon does...you can know all the names and history of a weapon, but that won't save your ass in a fight...nerd

[gdog066]

One must master the weapon as they must master their own body. The weapon and the warrior must become one; a perfect harmony.

It is not the weapon that is deadly, it is the skilled hand that wields it.

All a weapon does is re-enforce your unarmed skills, so the more weapons that you are 'trying out' the better your hand-to-hand skills will be.

[kboy3141]

learn basics- master your basics-find your own way

[runodef99]

@gdog066 iv trained for years with only the kama and my bare hands now when i work in the tonfas it comes naturaly since the tonfas are a defencive weapon they work well with my natural defencive manuvers

[HongsiquanWingDing]

yeah but that move would never happen in a real fight.

[southwestwingchun]

obviously, that's why its called martial 'arts'. i doubt an attack from a BO staff wielding nutter hardly happens in a real fight. its an interesting technique that can be applied to other disciplines, thereby broadening your understanding of human combat. and besides, he would have killed that little squirt.

[crapshter23]

Good Video

[scottbaioisdead]

a jo is a bo just like an eda koppo is a bo bo means stick

[modjaffa]

lol, that little kid with a black belt:P

[stquick2kick]

ouch... don't you just love people who pretend to know something while they are still just beginners...

[TOOMUCHBULLSHlT]

you got pwned dickshit

[burroman]

yeah i agree is kinda big, but lets compare the size of the kid with his, maybe with a average size person the movement its not so big

[salamani]

The hooking technique is not a good one, the movement is too big!
