I enjoyed watching the videos. They are performances of traditional weapons. It's not a fight. It's funny to read some of your posts about how it's not real. Of course, it's not real fighting. They are using sais and tonfas and bostaffs. When was the last time you saw a real fight with those weapons.Sometimes people are so funny.
O fato é que isso não passa de uma Coreografia ridicula e que de nada vale a pena perder seu tempo e esforço para aprender algo tão sem utilidade como isso.
@EasyEnergy yes but you learn that from learning how to fake fight so u know what it looks like if he attacks here or here etc, so u know how to block. Reflex comes from habit which comes from practice.
Really? I do ryu-kenshin karate and I learned to use the bo at orange ( or yellow i forgot ) and then learned sai in orange belt. The bo for me is by far easier to use and more reliable. Did you notice how the sai wielder took lots of hits to his for arm? In the hands of an experienced user the bo would have broken his arm...
@HappyGoldenDuckling I don't know if you took this into account or not, but if the arm is guarded by the sai blade. The arm wouldn't break. Unless, of course, you meant something else? I personally don't know how to use Bo, only tonfa and a little bit of sai, so maybe I'm mistaken.
@Linkmaster46 I mean how he took a lot of hits to the outer part of his arm while keeping the Sai to the inside of his arms, which is an obvious beginner's mistake, it just seems staged. He isn't protecting his arms with the Sai - he is keeping them on the inside of his arms while the Bo hits the outside.
@HappyGoldenDuckling It's meant to be staged. Its a kata. A real duel between the two would not look like this. Its a performance for the audience. Still the the person with the sai, does sometimes fail to block with the sai on the outside of the arm. Sometimes its difficult to control them when you're moving quickly. I have difficulty with it in my katas as well.
Well, my shihan tells me that the bo is much harder to master then the sai, or tonfa; so much so that you dont even start Bo until 5th kyu (I think) which is long after you've begun learning sai. At least in my style.
Personally, I believe it, since the key to wielding a Bo effectively is its dynamic use in range and power.
none of these cartoon show and jackie chan movie kicks and punches will ever work in a real fight with a few exceptions like sweep and hook martial arts are to over exaggerated in the fighting styles used that are all useless in a real fight except for weapons which can looked into with reason like bo tonfas iron war fans shoge nunchaku katana and many more which is the more real form of fighting
Of course they don't. Would you expect them to? It's like watching Star Trek in order to study for a Physics exam in school. Entertainment is entertainment, real world is real world.
so, was the whole point of this to show the audience that the bo sucks? the people with the bo kept on stopping for a good second and a half before the opponent dealt the final blow and the last tonfa guy even screwed up at the end. if i cared about the bo i'd be offended.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
people with smaller weapons are way better. They have a better reaction time cause they don't have to swing big heavy stick

The short weapon warriors also slowed down. If they didn't they'd hurt each other more or less.
IMHO this was to show that even the "more powerful" weapon may be overwhelmed. :)
Still, I just started my tonfa training so I probably don't see many (if hardly) mistakes. :)
