Hardwood Bo Staff

Bo Staffs - Martial Arts Weapons

The bo staff is a prominent weapon in martial arts fighting. Originating in Okinawa, warriors have been using wooden sticks, such as the bo staff, for fighting for many years. Due to the long length of the bo staff, these fighting sticks are designed for long range attacks and strikes. These bo staffs are perfect for self-defense, but can also be used for offensive maneuvers when combined with lower body movements, such as kicks. Bo staffs come in a variety of lengths, ranging from 6 to 12 inches. Frontier Blades offers a wide selection of high quality bo staffs made from durable and reliable materials.

How to Choose The Right Bo Staffs? 

Bo staffs are made from a variety of materials. Choosing the right bo staff for you depends on your skill level and your primary use of the bo staff. Selecting the correct bo staff which suites your needs is very important, as it can prevent injuries and help you succeed in martial arts training.

Rattan is a stem material widely used in making bo staffs. Rattan is considered a much lighter material relative to the other woods used in creating bo staffs, such as hardwood. Due to its light weight and increased maneuverability, rattan bo staffs are much easier to train with and are perfect for novice martial artists. 

Traditional bo staffs are made from wood, such as oakwood and hardwood. Hardwood is a much heavier material and is used for strength training in martial arts. Many competition staffs incorporate hardwood materials. As the hardwood bo staff can pack a devastating punch, these staffs are recommended for intermediate or expert martial arts. Beginners should choose a rattan bo staff initially, and as they develop more experience, opt for the oakwood or hardwood bo staffs.

In regards to the size of the bo staff, generally, you would like a bo staff which is slightly smaller in height relative to your size.
