Ti Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm assuming a 2pc staff would be weaker than a single piece.Question is, will it break during training?I kinda wanna get a 2pc cause it's easier to carry around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichi_Geki Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I know of some instructors that throw traditional tournaments, when you present a Bo to them, they test it with thier knee...and I have seen them break them, and just say..."Too weak for our stuff"...I did buy a two piece maple from century a few yrs back...and while I was doing a curl in the Sakugawa no lun kata, as an display for my students...I snapped it, where it screws into each other.So I would say a one piece is perfect.

Ti Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 TY, I had a feeling the 2pc stuff would never really hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white owl Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I actually was judging at a tournament and this happen to a competitor he was so embarrassed and tried so hard to hold the bo together and continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
