      I've taken up hiking, what 6' bo do you recommend as a walking stick and yet self-defence if ever needed?

      Hey Super Spider. Congrats on the new, healthy hobby! I would recommend the hardwood bo, either straight or tapered. tapered would be a little lighter to handle, while straight would get stuck in mud and dirt a little less easily. They can be found here: wp-bo-03, wp-bo-04. Also, you might consider using the 5 foot version as a walking stick, but that's your call!

      6 foot is out of stock at the moment. You may have to browse other styles as this won't be back in stock for a few weeks.

      Hi Leo. Yes this bo would function fine as a starter bo. It's got good durability without being highly expensive.

      In Between

      I need a bo that is capable of striking hard and fast yet flexible, strong, and very durable. Would a waxwood bo work???

      Is this Bo easy to mess around with? I'm a beginner but I'm very flashy and I love to show off. I want a Bo that looks cool but is easy to maneuver but is strong enough to make contact because I still want to use it to fight with. What would be a good Bo for me?

      If you want to be able to make contact, this bo is a fine choice. It will be a little slower for spinning techniques than say, this bo: wp-bo-09

      Both are good stacii, just a little different. This bo is much stiffer, and will provide less flexibility. A bo like this can deliver more impact and is more durable for contact, but the rattan bo is extremely fast and easy to use.

      This bo can be used for those things, but it might not be as light as you are used to. For very fast spinning and tournament style techniques you might want something more like this: wp-bo-08

      Vibration

      When you use the Black Hardwood Bo & you hit it against your body, how much does it vibrate? I know you want a staff that isn't extremely hard & can vibrate in order to absorb some of the shock. Thank you for your answer.

      Hi Rizzo. This bo will provide some vibration to disperse impact, but not a lot. Tapered bo's and bo's made of softer wood (like rattan) may be what you're looking for if you have a particular need to avoid impact.

      When it comes to bo training, your body will get some bumps and bruises as it acclimates to the impacts. You'll eventually get used to it though and the vibration will be less of a need.

      Great staff but...

      I don't like the weight. It's kind of in between being strong enough to with stand some punishment, and being light enough for competitions. After using tapered bo staffs for forms I regretted buying this. But it is great for practicing strikes, and more importantly conditioning the body for using those strikes.

      Good for training

      I enjoyed training with this staff, but I was only able to do demonstrations. With full contact with a dummy, the staff broke into 2 pieces after the first strike. The wood did not even show signs it was about to give way, it just snapped. It was a good weight though, and was fun while it lasted. Obviously I will not be using hardwood staffs for full contact again.
