Matousek Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 I think they are a fun skill to posses, and training with one is also good for "hand eye" coordination. I was sweeping the steps ( with a broom) and decided to get fancy... i accidently hit by brother, lol... "Knowledge is Power!"~Matousek~Martial Arts
Shorin Ryuu Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 I think the bo is a lot of fun, and has a lot of in-depth application. When striking, think of using the very tip of the end (the circular part) as a blade. A rotation of the bo at the end of a strike coupled with a snap can cut into an opponent. That's something that many people do not realize... In addition, there are an endless amount of striking and grappling applications that can carry over into the use of the jo, the hanbo and the nitanbo (basically, 4,3, and 2 ft. versions of the bo), making it an easy and more likely weapon to mimic using whatever is at hand during a combat situation. That's my short version... Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
Matousek Posted September 4, 2004 Author Posted September 4, 2004 Hello, thanks for that info. I did not realize those moves til now. Oh and yes , the bo is a versitile weapon that is ussually lying around everywhere! Brooms can be used as a weapon, just like the bo...just make sure you dont crack your brother on the head with one, lol. "Knowledge is Power!"~Matousek~Martial Arts

battousai16 Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 i mostly like them because of there versatility. also, they can be very pretty, or very fierce looking, or something in between? i really like the staff a great deal. i like that you can keep your distance or you can move in close. i like that you can grapple with them. i like the fact that they're so dangerous despite the fact that it's essentially a stick "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Matousek Posted September 6, 2004 Author Posted September 6, 2004 yah, there very versitile. "Knowledge is Power!"~Matousek~Martial Arts
Shorin Ryuu Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Oh I forgot to ask you what your avatar meant...my meens "strongest". Sorry...didn't see this post. The writing across says "Shorin Ryuu" and refers to my style, Shorin Ryu (the correct "romanization" of ryu is actually ryuu, but everyone says ryu). The writing down also says "Shorin Ryuu", but in this case, the "ryuu" actually means dragon...because dragons are cool and stuff...right... Anyway, as my username is Shorin Ryuu, it is supposed to be a play on words... Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/

usedbullrope00 Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 I belive the bo is a great skill to posess. Be it with a broom stick, or just a stick you find on the ground, it is good to use to protect yourself. Hey my name is SSG Rush Bascomb, I joined when I was 18 and been in now 8 yrs. I am 25 and been studing the arts since i was 8. My dad was my instuctor and still is. He was an instructor in the military and now teaches the all the north TX police Departments. I am married to a beautifal gal and she is my life.
