The staff is fine but I expected it to be more than a plastic with tape on it. Probably cost around 1 dollar for them to make. I am a 3rd in Bo Jitsu so I know I good staff when I see one. It is purely for show, if you hit it against anything at all it will not be good. If it cost 20-30 bucks, It would be amazing because it is a perfect staff for demos but it is also a major rip off.

This bo is a pure speed practice bo. It was my first bo so when I changed to a light weight GForce I was 10 times faster. Very durable. After 2 weeks of training in my garden using full contact strikes against trees the very tip broke off. I still use it when I am strength training. It is around 3 lbs for the 5 footer. Great starting Bo due to its durability, weight and price.
