I have been training since 1973 and teaching since 1977. I am truly please with the quality of this product and with Karate Depot in particular. Karate Depot leaves the rest behind and is second to none. My students and I thank you for such detail to us, your customers.

I couldn't be more satisfied with this bo. It arrived about 3 days after I placed my order. As soon as I opened the package, I was amazed. The weight and overall appearance make it great for training as well as competition. A+!

I was extremely happy with the Bo's. The quality and finish was very nice. They are nicely balanced and light weight. I would recommend them to anyone.

This is my first jhang bong staff (ATA) and I would say that it is very nice. It is a little heavier than the average staff, but that is helpful in building strength and improving the quality of motion for the techniques. I have been told that for actual combat or for forms compition a lighter staff would be better. The quality of the wood is very nice, and of course has a few small flaws that come with it but that is like anything made from real wood. The flaws though are not anything that causes a problem use wise or looks wise. I am the only one who knows those flaws are there only because I gave the staff a thorough inspection upon arrival. The stickers were on the outer packaging and not on the wood so that made me happy too. I would recommend this staff to anyone interested in it.

well balanced just right for my person

It's really rigid. I will be getting the 4' and the 5' soon. This is the true weapon to learn and cherish. I will tell you from experience, stay and use this item only and you can become really talented with this simple but powerful weapon.

A no-nonsense bo. Mine is beautiful...I almost hate to ever use it. The sticker was on the outside of the protective plastic on mine, so there was no glue residue. I cannot imagine anyone thinking this is too heavy. I'm very happy.

I have owned this bo for almost 6 months. It has served me well until tonight, when at a demonstration in front of allot of people it broke about 8 inches from the end with no external contact. I sanded all of the finish off of this weapon, and then soaked it , totally submerged in oil for 2 weeks to hydrate the bo throughout. However it still broke. Very disappointing.

Competition Bo

Anyone who believes this class of stick is too heavy for competition needs to practice a lot.
When I judge tournaments and see grown men using toothpick sticks, I drop them at least a full point. I hate to see pretty sticks presented as real weapons and am unimpressed when I see a 6' , 200+ man whipping around a stick that would break the first time it hit anything. Most of the sticks would break during my staff forms.

Great Bo Staff

I love this bo for practice and sparring. Its a very sturdy, practical bo staff. Although its too heavy for competition, I use it to build speed and power.

awesome product

This is the first rod I have bought here and by comparison to the others I have, is the best one of them. It does not splinter, crack when hit, and best of all it still looks good after some use.

This staff rocks. After 1/2 a year of having it, it still is in great working order. The only things bad about it is it is on the heavy side and if you do contact weapon sparring it may splinter like mine. It is very hard wood and I would recomend shining it and occasionally restaining it to keep it looking great.

Good solid bo. Tapered to take away some excess weight. Great for kata, and holds up when banged against other weapons such as bos, jos, boken.

Awesome practice weapon...

This Bo arrived in perfect condition. Only thing I did not like was the warning/caution sticker that was glued to the Bo directly and not the plastic covering protecting the Bo. With some Adhesive remover, I was able to clean the sticker's residue off. The Bo is in between being heavy and being light. It will build arm strength as you use it but not as much as the straight hardwood Bo will. Speed exercises can easily be achieved. Will buy another one when the time comes.

Very nice bo, smooth finish.

This bo is at least 30 or 40% lighter than the striaght hardwood bo of the same price, making it faster. This might be better for performance (speed) and the straight one for training (strength). This only lost a star because the one I recieved had a few tiny scratches on the ends. No big deal, it'll be getting plenty more from use anyway.

good

The bo is a very interesting type of weapon, when teaching martial artist a good bo is just what they need unlike other weapons you can see what attack your opponent will use not by their stance but by the other end of the bo...anyways back to the point this bo was very sturdy and took all of the hits and smashes we have given it while practicing with it. Excellent product.

I just received my BO from Karate Depot and I am very impressed with it. It has substantial weight and is very sturdy. I can't wait to take it to my dojo. My only concern is it might have been better to have bought the 5' version instead of the 6', I am 5'9

The staff is of supreme design and manufacture. And it arrived an astonishing FOUR days before the scheduled delivery date.

Reviewer: kingr

I didn't think this bo staff would be this heavy. It's good for strengthening your arms, but im a little nervous about bringing this 6ft staff to class in fear of losing control because of its size and weight. I don't recommend using this staff for tang soo do staff forms.
