Thanks so much Kyle! These last couple of weeks, I haven’t been overly pleased with the videos, but we’ve been focusing on learning the new camera and editing software. As soon as we have that stuff figured out, I’ll be back on track.
You the man. I know you are the hands on kind of guy. Doing it all. Shout our to Amanda for the camera work. I guess i need to say hi to Will to. I keep a ninja eye on him. He just got to much oleasure from stunning you.
Thanks Vihaan! Yeah, it’s kinda similar to the Bounty Hunter spear video. Really, we were mostly just trying to figure out the new camera and editing software this week. It’s coming along, but it will be a few weeks before we get it down.
Up to 26K wow Kyle let me do some quick math. Your channel is growing at an exponential rate. Just considering how long the channel has been around too. You've gained about 25% more subscribers in just the last 3 months. You ROCK!! 😁
I thought you were going to add bicycle grips or tennis racquet grips to your Bo staff. You mentioned the diamond grips on the other Bo staff. Great video. I need this to get myself in shape. I just don't like exercising by myself except in a swimming pool. I just bought a sand timer to see if I can get myself to practice with my Bo staff for 5 minutes per day. :) Thank you for your videos. I feel encouraged.
Awesome, Daniel! That’s so cool that you are using the staff for exercise. I’ve added those types of grips to other staffs and they do work well. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
WOW KYLE!!!! Where do I start!!! It came out really really good! And the grips are pretty awesome! Definitely worth building one! Maybe you guyz could sell raw stock for people! Yeah most martial arts weapons are based on the user’s own body dimensions. So cutting that to exactly your height is awesome. There’s a Kung Fu style that cuts them to the user’s eye brow height and of course the Jo which is the height of the middle of the chest. It’s pretty awesome that you’re teaching the true principles of weaponry. That green staff is really pretty sweet looking! The titanium stuff you’re making is definitely really really cool!!! I’ve made kama blades out of it. It actually sharpens up pretty decently! Love the diy videos! Thanx Brother!!!
Thanks brother! I’m not the biggest fan of this video because of the mistakes we made with the camera, but I appreciate it! Kama blades are a perfect example of something that titanium would be excellent for. Thanks so much for your positivity my friend!
Hi Kyle:) what a cool and creative video! I love what you've done here. You are way too cool. And looking fantastic as usual 😊 have a great Friday my friend :D
Just for the record, you're looking a lot closer for the small things in your video, I enjoyed this video and didn't notice anything. I'm watching Kyle, who I now know is 6'4" holy cow, and listening to him educate me. Am I too lazy to make my own, maybe not. Thing came out nice though. My staffs are burnt rattan and oak, only 4 feet long, and I'm still knocking out mirrors in my bedroom. So, I'm comfortable with the shorter one. But hey, I'm only 5'9" and that's tall for an Italian. Now we were doing staff work at my school just this week, combinations and such. Same question in my head is, just can't walk around with one. Although, once you work with a staff, anything handy at "that" moment that can be used as a staff, will do. Canes, umbrellas, even a broomstick. But it sure would nice to be walking around with a staff. Anyway, always a pleasure watching and listening to your excitement when you do the videos, and as a matter of fact, 3 days ago I received 4 of the 130db keychain alarms for KarateMart. All good stuff. See you next week!
Thanks Phil! I really appreciate your support brother! And, you are absolutely right! Weapons like staffs and escrima are so important to learn because the techniques can applied to so many other items. I hope you have an incredible week, man!!
Srry couldn’t be here i was gone to the mall tho amazing video!!!!!! Loved it definitely my fav video!!!! :D but the sad part is that I wouldn’t be able to it the thumbnail remains me of a video but I can not put my finger on it
At one time, they were trying to develop aluminum armor for tanks. If they made tubes of that alloy, I'm guessing that they would be plenty strong for any striking that you wanted to do. I'd still avoid cutting grooves into aluminum. I'd try to find a way to add grips by raising something over the aluminum.
Excellent video 😁👏 I would have never thought to use a pipe cutter to make grips 😄✅ what is the final weight of this aluminium beastie? lol wouldn’t wanna meet you for a staff fight in the middle of a river 🤣 brandishing your 6.4 foot staff lol
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I just weighed it and it is 1 pound, 11 ounces, which is an excellent weight for a 6’4” staff. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart Yeah that’s pretty light for a 6.4ft metal staff, even for aluminium. About the right weight for your size and strength 🙂 a bit heavy for a skinny 5.9 foot guy like me 😄 would probably knock myself out or injure my shoulder lol I think I’ll stick with lightweight hardwoods for now 😅✌️ thanks for replying, it’s so freaking hard to get any kind of interaction on here 🤣 I’ll keep your store in mind if I ever have any damn money to buy stuff 😁
The one I made in the video had a thick enough wall that it could take some abuse, but the ones we manufacture differently in house are built to withstand much more. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the KarateMart.com customer service team. Thanks so much for watching!
It completely depends on the style of martial art being studied. I’ve used 4 foot staves in some martial arts and 7 foot staves in others. I could see that being a very good way to measure it in many of the martial arts though. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey dude, can you try to make one of my apocalypse weapons? i call is the ‘Bronze Bashing’, it’s electrical tape wrapped around a thick, copper rod with wires at the end. I’d really like for you to try it!
Hey brother! Thanks so much for watching! I’d have to know a little more about the weapon you are referring to. If you have a picture, email it to the customer service team at service@karatemart.com.
@@Karatemart No problem. Not sure what weapons right now. Considering. I'll be in a Kayak following gold upriver. Pretty microscopic right now. Probably camp and then hike some. We have some big rocks in the river. Foot entrapment is a caution. A steel staff might be good. I was watching the lightsaber spins had 4 yrs MA so I totally got those! Add that to my toolkit. lol. Yeah it's looks like bear, cougar and grow op. threats. Though the grow op. probably would not be present in person. Sometimes they set traps so again hiking staff. Gawd the planning! Bear rounds can't forget those.
That’s a great question, Jack! Sometimes, you can find them at a specialty hardware store (usually the mom and pop ones are better) and sometimes you can find them online through a Google search. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart I tried finding stainless steel caps in 1-1/4 diameter but I can’t find them anywhere in some hardware stores or online like Amazon, Where exactly can I find that specific kind of size?
