jo staffs are 5 feet or shorter and bo staffs are 6 feet or longer. besides the length the staffs are exactly the same.

@4444smc I have seen a huge variety of professional bo and jo staffs and if you look them up you will find that actual dimensions historically vary quite a bit. Depends on the culture, the height of the practitioner and the time period. 5 and 6 feet are simply guidelines. But thanks for your comment.

Most of the Bo staves i've seen are flexible so as to absorb the impact and not break. Will these improvised staves be okay for repeated use and training?

[eteune]

@ParaiyanDeus yes, many of the bo staffs I have seen are as light as styrofoam and as flexible as a noodle. I have used oak bo staffs and they are very heavy but withstand a lot of impact, these are pine and are lighter and a bit more flexible, but can break. But the pine ones I make myself are very inexpensive, so I don't mind breaking them. It helps me understand the weapons tolerances more. I would go for a heavy rattan if you can find it, still tough and flexible, but wont' break so easy.

@eteune wow, this is my first time on youtube ever being flamed for trying to be helpful... anyways, when u first start out, any legitimate martial arts dojo will force you to get wooden weapons out of red oak or a substitute of a same quality, otherwise it would be too dangerous to practice. idk how u get better without practice, and to practice, i believe u need a teacher and a partner to learn properly and safely. a well built wooden weapon is key, otherwise you'll suffer for it

@Kaiserflame1 oh, and besides, these are not broom handles. Did you even WATCH the video?, or did you decide to troll straight away because it's that time of the month? haha

[eteune]

@Kaiserflame1 well duh! of course a more expensive, professionally made bo will last longer than a broom handle, thanks for stating the obvious Einstein. However, you missed the point of the video. If you are JUST STARTING OUT and don't want to blow a load of cash on expensive martial arts weapons until you get better, here is an ALTERNATIVE to START OUT. Wow, thick as a brick.
