Empty Cup

The quality and durability is quite effecient! The handle of this bo serves its purpose, during my kata. The reason a star was taken off is due to cosmetic issues. The bo has smudges on it and that has a few ruff parts, which need sanding. I would recommend this bo for anyone starting out with the bo. Permalink

Tapered Hardwood Bo
A. Hey Jimmy - tapered bos are generally considered better for spinning. The taper makes the ends light and places the center of gravity more dominantly in the middle. Non-tapered bos are considered better for application and bunkai (meaning they can take better beatings because they are thicker). Of course, that is also relevant to wood type. If you want something specific for competitions, taper might be the way to go. If you intend to pursue bunkai and kobudo kumite, go with non-taper.

Rubber Foam Tonfa
A. This comes in a pair (two)

Fighting Bo
A. Hey Money - this bo is designed for performance and practice. Ash is a light wood and the taper makes it even lighter. However, this bo will not stand up to repeated abuse through hard contact. You could use it for protection, but it is not ideal for that.

Even for beginners it's mostly just a personal preference. The white wax is nice and light but tends to absorb less sweat on the hands. If you want something easy to handle, white wax or rattan is nice. For something that has a little more body and can take a hit, go with hardwood.

Ultra Light Lotus Bo
Comment. Why the half star? Just wondering what disadvantages the Bo has, 'cause I'm looking to buy it myself

White Wax Tapered Bo
A. It all really depends on what you do with the staff - If you're doing more slow Kata or fighting or things like that, Hardwood and Oak are perfect; If you're doing like crazy spinning and flipping and all that, definitely go with Waxwood, Rattan, or Lotus

The shipment was supposed to arrive on the fifteenth; arrived on the tenth. Nicely sanded. No cracks, no bumps. Rather shiny, actually. The ends are tapered similar to the diameter of a nickel. Light, durable. Held up nice, even in the trauma of cheap shipping and handling. Packaged REALLY cold. Haven't had the chance to practice with, except when I spun it, and accidentally hit the ceiling. The shock absorption was nice on my hands. Six foot is the perfect size for an average height male. Five star! Permalink

I am very pleased with the wax wood bo. I wish it was cylindrical, not tapered on the ends, but for my purposes it will do just fine. I don't do Oriental styles, I'm more of an English quarterstaff type because of my limited mobility. This is straight, doesn't look like a de-barked sapling or twisted branch, no obvious defects. Time will tell, but this is one of the best waxwood specimens I've seen. Permalink

I have had this staff for about 2 weeks it’s been dropped quite a few times and just keeps going. This is my first one so I don’t really have any basis for comparison. Just know that it takes drops (drops and more drops), and other random user/environmental abuse very well. Permalink

Simply the best

This is simply the best bo I have ever owned. The weight is heavy enough for real training, but light enough to use in competitions. Do not hesitate if you are thinking about buying this bo. Excellent customer service. Permalink

Best staff you can get

I definitely recommend waxwood, very light, strong, just enough flex, and it has a very nice feel in your hand. Permalink

Like these Bos.

First, I received my order incredibly fast. In class, my white wax bo was admired by the other students and my Sifu. The smooth finish allows me to execute techniques faster and it has made it possible for me to move through my form quickly and smoothly. I can honestly recommend this product. Permalink
