hempev and Mr. Nishiuchi, I thank you both for your video collection. You did a great job.
-
@hempev I think i go traditional tho. i be looking around your store to buy a couple of items =) thanks appreciate the help
-
@MDefsquad9 If you want to be "traditional", you use 6ft, i.e. "roku-shaku-bo", but no-one would fault you for wanting the added reach of 6" -- it just makes it a little harder to wield!
-
@hempev true.. if thats the standards then i will use the 6ft i didnt want it to be extra long. 6ft sound like a descent height im 6'3 too
-
@MDefsquad9 I'm not Shihan, but I am similar height, and we all use 6ft bo - when Westerners started using Japanese techniques, schools would also have 6'6" bo for taller people.
-
@hempev I forgot your a small dude. i thought the stick maybe been longer.
-
@MDefsquad9 6 feet

How long is that bo?

I was incorrectly taught to strike bringing end of the bo under my arm or to the "inside". However, when I try to take the bo to the outside and create the "duck", I find that I either hit my forearm (instead of bicept/shoulder area), or my grip is severely loosened. What am I doing wrong?

@rccole86 If you are like me, a lack of flexibility interferes with proper form - you have to be able to both flex the wrist down *and* keep a solid grip on the bo. I still have problems, but all I can do is keep trying, as should you.
