chrisw08 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I know most people will disagree with me but I like the way the straight bo feels but I hate tapered bo's. Ive bought three and wasted my money. Now Im going to buy all new bo's. I hate how it feels when you swing it speeds up but doesnt feel balanced and kinda feels like it whips at the end. This is my personal opinion but just thought id share it.
sensei8 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I'm with you here. I love the straight Bo's, even though I've used the tapered ones before, and in that; I'll take the straight Bo's over the rest. **Proof is on the floor!!!
Wastelander Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 My bo isn't tapered, but it also isn't 6ft long or round--I had a bo custom made out of Ipe to be 6ft 6in long and octagonal. It changes the game a bit when you do weapons sparring against a bo that routinely breaks other bo Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society
sensei8 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 From the Bo family...I love the Eku [boat oar]; it's both straight and tapered all at the same time. **Proof is on the floor!!!
