I know this will sound STUPID, and very very very pathetic... but.... what if I follow this tutorial using a steel...umm... broomstick? Will it matter? I'm sure it will but I gotta ask ^^

[TPRoach]

@zkira1 that will be fine.. :)

[zkira1]

What material is your bo? Im planning to make a bo-moves- tutorial too, but, I only have 2 Bo's, one is made o' wood and is very heavy, but i can control it,and the other one is so light my camera is not able to receive it very well

[TPRoach]

@darkarlo5 i use oak staffs. bit heavier but you get used to it. i chucked my metal one. i hate the light tiny xma ones

[darkarlo5]

@TPRoach Well, now im searching for a boo that stretches, ya know, 3 parts that extend, i dont know if you may understand, but i cant explain very well

[TheDruzzT]

Thx my Master :)

I've been doing martial arts for almost a year, i just graded for my next belt (passed :P) and began my staff training. My staffs made of burnt rattan (its some kind of special bamboo or something, not sure) and i cut it an inch taller then me (its supposed to be either slightly taller then you or slightly shorter, or anywhere in between). What I'm learning is very similar to this, the basic movements are almost the same.

[FanonVikap]

Thanks, man!

[Akkuetj]

Wow i discovered wery much

[stopbeingcowards]

"""Wow i discovered wery much"" Akkuetj........ but not in english class i see!!!

[H8static]

ive been doin martial arts for 7 years and bo/jo staff for 5 and yeah this guy is the real deal...... also im disgning my own fighting style needs a name and its base on useing ur surroundings any ideas or questions reply

[begs812]

aang style

[advythoh]

The using the elbow part was an excellent tip... i finally seem to get smoothness with it... after a week of starting off bumps on the head.

Prob is my bo staff is heavy and n on tapered... its a bloody metal curtain rod, stuffed wit wood. Thing need a lot of torquing of the body to move fast...

If i order an oak bo thru the net, the shipping almost costs US 100...

But again... the using the elbow part really helps... really good tips. TY TP.

[H8static]

go to home depo and get a shovel handle for like 5 dollars there not that heavy and pritty good quality

[advythoh]

Please post more bo videos... excellent stuff... Thanks

[coolmanmatt360]

how long should a bo staff be?

[Netto1890]

japanese bo is 6 feet long

[Antardrews]

actually u decide that.

a bo staff measures 1.83 but ppl have it a little longer or shorter than ther own height im gonna buy 1 but longer than me.

good luck

[H8static]

depends how tall u are they can range between 4 to 6 feet havin 6 be the longist

[atoblade]

great vid 5 stars!

[xXHayateMitsurugiXx]

dude youre so kewl ^_^ im really gonna take this vid into account when practicing with a staff, though just at the moment im focusing it on showmanship for a youtube series im making, please maybe make more staff handling videos? *like taking into account perhaps hoooow darth maul fights with a dual lightsaber that kinda handling =D*

i have been training in Aikido for 6 years now and we train using a Jo staff (shorter than the Bo staff) but the physics are still the same.......and i can say, this guy knows his stuff.....if u wanna learn how to do it right then watch this space

[hajashi17]

this is a realy good video it helped me a lot as a beginner !! I started to train taekwondo a year ago and now i wanted to train with some wapsons like a staff or a sword and such a tutorial video is realy helpful thanks :D^^

[BigMilan]

in England? nice weather? well maybe once global warming really kicks in... there's a hope.

we just have to wait a decade or so for some new vids then? :P

[kageoftheshadow]

as a specialist in the bo in traditional kobudo, this is actually a pretty good depection of how to use a bo. very well done and very informative for beginners

[Mikel9]

as great as allways, but this time ill try it! thx a lot!.

[1john1992]
