@Kapuzina1337 You must not be one for reading the vid descriptions...
In any case, most of my free-form is derived from Ninpo Bojutsu, emphasizing fluidity of motion, not grounded stance. I've taken some fairly heavy hits from various weapons while training without risk to my balance/control. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, but what may improve one style will invariably counteract another. I'll be more mindful regardless.
In my opinion, heavier is good for well-rounded practice as well.
In my other video I used a tapered 1.5">1" , 6 ft., 7 lbs., red oak Bo.
I didn't begin with the study of any formal martial art either. So long as you work with what's available to you, and devise a set of skills set to your own preferences, a proficient technique is sure to follow.
You mentioned, "yet," so I presume you intend to begin formal training at some point. What sort of styles are you looking to take up?
Not quite sure yet. I am leaning to karate but am also looking at taekwondo. Though they are very different in their approaches both are highly effective. I need to find out which dicipline teaches the staff.
Unless you've found a particualar following of traditional teachings and undiluted techniques, I highly suggest avoiding taekwondo.
No discredit to the art itself, but most American taekwondo institutions are far too bastardized to be considered anything more than VERY basic self-defense.
Same is partly true of Karate, but you're far more likely to find a formidable Karate dojo than taekwondo. In terms of the staff, the two forms vary greatly in style, as well.

How thick and how heavy is the staff? If i may ask.
nealan11 2 years ago
It's roughly 1.2 inches in diameter, and 2 lbs. in weight.
Fairly light weight, really....not too difficult to work with. I like it for free-form practice.

I don't practice any martial arts yet I use a 1.5 inch thick 6 ft tall hemlock staff. More challenging than lighter woods.

Agreed.
In my opinion, heavier is good for well-rounded practice as well.
