Say no to the cheapest of the cheap!

Me and the two boys just tested for our Purple Belts.  Wow, how time flies.  Here's where we're at with our Bo staffs:

• Me - have the aluminum one the school lent me (happy that it's sturdy and free).
• Oldest - loves the gray graphite bo staff (it really is light).
• Youngest - has grown out of the wooden staff (mentally at least) because it's to bulky and heavy.

Summary:  I really think the cheapest of the cheap wooden bo staffs are just too heavy.  I do not recommend them even for kids just starting out.  The graphite is vastly superior.  I think there just has to be some budget talk that surrounds this topic.  Right around this time, you're very likely going to be buying sparring gear too.  For me and the two boys, that's 3 sets of gear.  Good luck rationalizing that one let alone the added expense of good weapons.
 
I have this website and still haven't given back the aluminum bo staff lent to me by the school if you catch my drift.  Wouldn't change it for the world though!  More at you soon!  Ok, until next time!

I have made custom bo staffs for top rated competitors such as Wayne Dalglish, Lauren Kearney and Casey Marks just to name a few. They are proof positive that light weight staffs are not the answer. I built Laurens bo staffs 13 years ago and they are still intact today. They are not light weight but are specially designed for tip speed, balance and control. My weapons are guaranteed not to break undercextraordinary use. Avg cost $130. Factor that over the course of 13 years.

    New to martial arts and mesmerized by the Bo Staff.  I'm planning on competing at some point so I have to get some info and get it quick.  I am going to discover everything I can and share it with you right here.
