Instead, use a padded bo like the ActionFlex or foam bo staff. Now that you know the right bo, here are some tips and techniques to start working on. Basic Striking. Basic Bo Release. Palm Spin. Instructors: These would be great tricks to teach in your weapons classes. If you have tips and techniques you want to share, send them to socialmedia centurymartialarts.
Century Martial Arts is your source for sparring and competition gear like bo staffs , nunchaku , escrima , sai , and foam training equipment, as well as self-defense training tools and much more. Now in Shotokan that I used to practice we would generally pick out Bo's that were 6' even but they would order these in mass quantity so it would be cheaper so they were all 6'.
Not based on preference of the practitioner. Good luck! On a side note the Bo forms are awesome! You'll definitely enjoy them. ATC Senior Master. I like the shorter staff but my master made me get the 6' one. I am 6'2" but I can really spin that 5 footer. ATC said:.
Joined Nov 8, Messages 3, Reaction score Hello, Common sense A little longer is OK too Also thickness can play a part too We use a bamboo type and comes in many thickness On the streets Aloha, ever use a coconut tree? If the bo is longer than you are tall, it will hit the floor during spins or strikes. It should come up to about your eyebrow or an inch or so higher than that. ArmorOfGod said:.

Links to durable Bo that can be used for contact training? Ivan Feb 7, General Weapons Discussion 2. I would get him a 6 ft. I really like the tapered ash training staff from century.
It is durable, strong, and not too heavy, but not too light. Im torn between a graphite and wood lotus? My grandson does weapons at karate and the bow they had me buy is 6 ft. He is 9 years old and is 53 inches tall also he has a graphite but it is clearly to tall he struggles but does ok with it.
I want to stay at the light weight because its only used for demo and compatitions. I would get a a 4. Probably, I have never used one. It depends on the weight. A staff that weights about lbs. I have been training to learn fire knife dancing and I want to move into Kobudo. Thanks for the suggestion of using a different stick with the right weight. My fire knife is evenly centered so I think it will be good enough.
I had a question, I am a beginner bo staff trainer, I was doing some of the free videos from your course, I was looking to purchase the course hopefully starting the course. I was wondering what were the weight recommendations for a bo staff.
Thank you in advance! Hi James, I am glad that you have been traning with us, and hopefully you can get the course soon.
The best general purpose training bo in my opinion is the ash training bo that century offers. For a strength staff, although I have yet to use it I need to get one , this heavy steel staff could work out well. Hi Michael, I am looking to join your Ultimate Bo course and am a complete beginner. I am confused about what height and type of Bo to buy. Or even a graphite? I am basically going in blind and would love your advice. Thanks so much!
I also plan on getting your DVD! A 72 inch staff will work, a 4 inch difference will not hurt you, especially with the traditional type of bojutsu that we are practicing. Have fun with Ultimate Bo! I am a begginer but i wanna do things that are better with graphite, do you reccomend getting an graphite or white wood lotus? If you want to train in traditional bojutsu such as what I teach through Ultimate Bo , get a 6 foot staff. If you want to do more competition style tricking and extreme spins, tosses, etc.
Hi Michael. I am going to subscribe to your Ultimate Bo programme. However I would need your opinion before I do it. My requirements are NOT to do some tricks, workouts or win competitions with the Bo staff. I need it purely for self defense. I am quite often out in the nature or wandering around in developing countries. I have been attacked several times by herd of dogs and also by bunch of ghetto criminals, they are just waiting for someone passing by. As each country has different rules for carrying a weapon, the Bo staff appears quite universal outdoor and also is support for long distance walks.
Is your program effective for this purpose? I am cm, 88kg. I have already ordered one Bo staff from Amazon, red oak, cm long, 3,2cm thick, straight, no idea if it will suit my needs, what you think? As I say, it will be not training staff.
Thanks in advance! Hi Karol, Wow, I am sorry to hear about the previous animal and thug attacks. These techniques were originally used by traveling warriors or commonfolk in need of protection, when traveling on foot was quite necessary as a part of daily life. A good walking stick can save your life in many ways. That staff should suit your needs for now. You might end up getting a higher quality staff made once you advance in your training, one that is less likely to break and that will stay with you over a long journey.
Hope to see you on the other side soon! Thank you for advice. Regarding the high quality staff, which material you mean? Thanks and merry christmas! They have mentioned black locust or hickory. They have mentioned dowelsondemand. I like to use a staff that is my height or just a little bit longer. The tapered or non-taper does not affect combat bo very much. Hi I bought your dvd and I plan on learning it. From the outset around fifteen hundred years ago, Bo staff methods were designed to be the ultimate in social distancing exercises.
Buddhist monks used Bo Staff methods to dissuade and discourage criminal gangs and wild animals from entering the monk's personal space. The same is true today. Once you become proficient at these techniques your personal training space will always be respected.
