how would this work out with a real Bo? the item that you are using does not have the mass to do damage(or to block a weapon)not detracting from your training, you have worked hard, but havent you ever wondered if you could hold your own against another person , one with a real weapon?

@AricDobres the main reason for the spinning is to distract your opponent :)

gay, dude, don't use those glorified pieces of plastic and crap.

nice kata, although really how practical is that? i'm not insulting you or anything but spinning a flashy staff like that does nothing in a fight, but i am impressed by your footwork good stances strong stances, and i will admit i can't spin my bo-staff like that, but mine is also a 5 pound hard wood staff that isn't meant for spinning, with a bo you want to move from point a-b as fast as possible, but again good footwork

I can see why you got 1st place. Strong stances, good control, and speed combined with proper technique.
