Staffs

Anyone here fight wit a staff, my trainer used to do wing chun and has encorporated the dragon pole into our kikboxing! its a fun weapon!

 

I might take up staff,bo,jo, or handbo, they all seem useful I just don't have time.

 

Make time! its really worth it, remember a dragon pole is 6 foot 9 nches long, good way to keep your enemy at bay, as soon as hes within 6 foot, smack him! I brought a rather kik ass telescopic pole made of some metal alloy its about as long as a combat stik an stretches to two foot six inches

 

I saw a pretty cool Monk staff I wanted to get it is 5'10.

 

I spar with sticks of all sorts of lengths...

 

Canadian sticks?

 

I stick fight I use a staff of sorts for zweihander training. its about 5'4.

 

*scratches head*

 

Rokushakubo for me

 

I *really* want to start Jo Staff training, but I need to practice unarmed for a long time before moving that far on

 

Why?

I teach people to use weapons from day 1.

 

Canadian?

 

Damn right!!

It would be pretty hard for me NOT to teach weapons from day one - after all, I do teach an weapon-based martial art. I can imagine it now........

"Welcome to your first class. Now we are just going to stare at a pair of nunchaku.........."

 

Yep - I'd have a similar problem.

"Today we will run about whilst occasionally glancing at the sticks in my bag"

LOL!

 

hmm...

Should I be booking a trip to the UK to wack you with my stick?

I teach weapons from day 1 to anyone that wants to learn them. No problems, probably easier to teach weapons first in some ways...

But when I got a class called "Weaponry" its hard not to involve a weapon.

 

Turns out I was misguided and we started training with hand bos last week
