Two shinai (bamboo swords) are joined to make a bo (long staff) using pneumatic couplers and brass pipes and fittings.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been training, upgrading to HD, and spending time on blogTV. Now, I'm back full steam. This project represents my first attempt at working with an HD and HD editing software.

Camera: Sony Webbie HD (not impressed, I'm thinking Canon HV20/30)

Software: Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro (I like this much better than Adobe Premiere Elements 7, may upgrade to Sony Vegas Pro)

  • dude they do have full contact sparring with a bo u just have to be willing to take the hits and they even have foam bos and stuff to make it safer but overall yeh they do have sparring....

  • @Fre3ZeZ0nE I'm familiar with chanbara equipment and am not a big fan of thick, bendable foam. I'd rather work with light bamboo that flexes a little and demands people to use control.

  • You will hurt someone. The tsuru, yellow string you cut have a purpose : apply enough strengh to the sakigawa to hold the bamboo splinter together :/

  • @dtchaze This is a proto-type. Obviously, I'm not going to practice with a partner using this until I engineer safety into its construction.

  • It's Incredible!

  • @kabritosfizzle Maybe...
