Traditionally used in Japanese Martial Arts, the Bo Staff is used for striking, blocking and sweeping opponents.
The Red Oak Bo Staff is manufactured from strong red oak or beech for durability and a natural red colour.
You should choose a staff that is close to your own height, unless you are training a specific style. The thinner or lighter a staff, the easier it will be to handle, and the faster it will manoeuvre through air. Generally, tapered staffs are used for demos. Straight staffs are used for training, as they are more durable during contact training.
Bo Staffs are the perfect introductory weapon for all ages.
