One piece bow staff vs 2 piece

[Ti]

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

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. I have a purple heart roku shaku bo

TY, I had a feeling the 2pc stuff would never really hold

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.

Lol it really ticks them off when we break them over our knee on "accident" just before the tournaments when we test the equipment.
