The Bo Staff is one of the older and more primitive martial arts weapons... It's literally just a super long tool of POSSIBLE destruction.. But in this episode ‪@hard2hurt‬ , ‪@SenseiDavid‬ and I talk about just how useful of a self defense tool this can be! Now if the question is can you damage, I think we can all agree.. Yes, it pretty clearly would hurt if you got hit by it.. but how likely is it that you're carrying around a bo staff in the time frame that you would be also being attacked? The odds probably aren't very good are they? Self Defense is a tricky subject, as there are many factors that come into play. Icy Mike from ‪@hard2hurt‬ is a 100% weapons expert. There is no doubt about it.. (maybe) and he and ‪@SenseiDavid‬ are here to help decide if you should be using and practicing bo staff (bo staff attack, bo staff defense, bo staff kata, and more) with a practical self defense thought in mind!!

That's because it is specifying a certain kind of staff, as opposed to it being a quarterstaff, jo staff, or whatever else. Hell, the even more technical term for it in Japanese is "rokushakubo," which is even more redundant in Japanese, as it means "6 shaku (equivalent to a foot) bo." I dunno about you, but I've never seen a Japanese or Okinawan bo of another length. Those tend to be hanbo or jo staves.

I think a bo staff has great portability. You can tie a bag on the end and use it to carry stuff with you. Roman soldiers had a walking stick that carried their supplies and could be leaned against when they were tired. You just have to be willing to look ridiculous in order to pull it off.

The one understanding lacking in these types of videos: What is the weapon that you most likely would have access to in a combat situation? A staff is found everywhere: broom, rake, pole, etc. Carrying a kubotan is much better than not carrying one. Knowing how to use one is the key. Training with them is. Knowing how to use a staff is much better than not knowing. Knowing them adds options that you wouldn't have otherwise. Having options is what wins fights and battles. Training is about being prepared for them.

Funny thing about the Bo Staff is that when your young doing Wushu (Like me) its the first weapon you learn but you don't get to move on to something else until you get really good with it. So of course you kinda get bored with it..... But then years later you see people on youtube with their Bo staff videos and you get sad because you miss your Bo Staff..... Does anyone else have this problem.

I always have a walking stick/staff when I go hiking. It is in my hand. It doesn’t need to be concealed. I pair it with a fixed blade camping/hunting knife. Essentially a small sword. I didn’t learn the bo staff, though. I use a single tapered kung fu staff instead. The movements are more like spear fighting than what I’ve seen in Kobudo. For da streetz you probably need a different weapon. Assuming you don’t live in the sewer.

The other advantage the wood staff has over expandable is versatility of grip. You can hold it on the middle and on the back quarter instead of thirds, and that offers different techniques and ranges. I agree though it's a terrible self defense weapon because of the transportation issue. It's a great trainer for weapons of opportunity.

@NilAthelion
@NilAthelion 2 года назад
This! I was going to say this but you beat me by a year. Spears are so hilariously good in hallways, you just jab fast, erratically, and at different heights, and man, nobody wants to go down that hallway. There's just something really unpleasant about someone making stabby movements at you if you don't have something ranged or something good to block with, and can't dodge to either side. And even if it's blunt, very few people are going to go "okay, I'll eat the end of a wooden broomstick to the ribs: after I close in, I'll have the advantage. This is fine." Maybe it's just me, but there's a instinct "eh, let's not" that I feel when it comes to be stabbed, even with blunt things.

I think the real benefit from training with a bo staff is that as long as it isn't made of paper/poor plastic, you can use any sticklike object(even common once we all have in house) and actually if you apply diagonal cutting motions(like with a spear or a halberd) you can still pretty much use it without hitting walls or floor.

Bo-staff = 180 cm, Broomstick = Jo-staff = 120 cm. Jo-staff can be used with both katana techniques or staff techniques. Bo-staff can be used with both two-handed sword techniques and staff techniques, but need more space, compared to Jo-staff.

I like staffs cuz they're easier to obtain than most other weapons...its a stick. Lol. Also, it's a ranged weapon, meant to keep people at length. Loved the hurricanrana from mike. That was totally unexpected. Yet also not surprising. I've always wanted to try one, but was afraid it would backfire and I'd get slammed straight or my weight would make them collapse before I finish the swing. That smaller staff was pretty cool too.

Sometimes, they didn't always break as easily. But even if it does, it results in a pointed end. Sticks are more versatile than expected. Start with a "staff", end with a kali stick. Lol. I am referring to outside sticks. I also bought a walking stick from Walmart for the same reason. It's a good manageable length.

You mentioned an important point when you compared the Bo with escrima. Both are not weapons you usually carry on you in your daily life (at least where I live). But knowing how to use sticks as extensions of your limbs can give you an edge and make you a more (mentally) flexible fighter. Training the arnis double sticks for instance thought me to respond to the angle of an attack instead of the "type " of attack (haymaker punch, forehand or backhand swing with a stick etc). It is best to see it as an add on to your arsenal.

A Jo-Staff has also quite the length of a common broomstick, which makes the idea of "finding/picking up and using something for self-defense" more propable.

In confined spaces, you can use staff (walking stick, cane, umrella, broom) as a spear - that way, you don't have to swing it around and hit walls and furniture.

Might be too lethal Seth but here is my take: A stabby sharpened sword in a parasol (there arent many in the market & are difficult to find online but definitely possible). A parasol is socially acceptable to carry so there you go. The other thing you can carry is the parasol club where the back end is heavy like a mace. Anything parasol like is socially ok, you can go inside anywhere with one, etc, etc.

In the discussion about the collapsable staff, you didn't explore the social acceptability of deploying it. Scenario: Someone attacks you while walking home from the market. you use that and successfully defend yourself. Knowing your own community, will the use of this or any weapon be acceptable? I think that that is what makes even a walking stick unacceptable these days. At least, here in L.A.
@SenseiSeth
@SenseiSeth 3 года назад
yea i think the dilemma of "did me deploying this weapon START the fight?!" is a big topic
@no-trick-pony
@no-trick-pony 3 года назад
Depends on how to deploy it I guess.. Like, if you just hold it vertically in your fist and shake it down once to deploy one end and than pretend it's a walking stick, nobody will probably care much. If you do the "baton-im-gonna-beat-the-shit-out-of-you" move to deploy it, it's probably not acceptable.

You guys kinda discount holding the staff near one end and using it's full reach, but that's exactly how a lot masters from medieval and renaissance Europe used their staffs and I'm guessing they knew what they were doing.

This is an interesting video. I've been watching hema videos where they discuss long weapons versus sword. Long weapons usually win all the time. You don't even need to spin a staff to make it dangerous. Just poking straight can be bad enough and keep selling at a distance.

It could possibly be effective if you have practical experience with it, understand your range in the enviornment and have enough grappling experience to disarm it from them in case of a struggle (aka they try to grab it). I can see why you ranked flashlight above it, sure it has greater damage potentional, but that potention comes at a cost, the maneuverability and the concealibility as well, which means that a greater emphasis has be to placed with my skill in general (whipping out and extending it) not just with that weapon but the grappling associated with it, with a flashlight you have the element of surprise, and opportunity with a greater range, and not having to attack; that's not even going into the legal repercussions. Don't get me wrong, I bloody love the bo staff (it along with the sword were my first weapons I trained with), but disadvantages make it a weapon that while probably readily available (brooms, pipes, others) need a lot more skill to wield than say a flashlight. Anyways end of rant, hope everyone's having a good day👍

I know a guy who goes everywhere with a staff. He is a bit eccentric, and he is in England, where the tolerance for eccentricity is quite high, but he quite happily takes it everywhere. He knows how to use it too. I follow The Way of The Stick myself, and I will be hitchhiking to Istanbul in the summer with a staff that reaches my chin. I'm hiking the Pindus Mountains too.
