Beginner Bo/Staff - 8 Basic Strikes

[@TheSubwaysurfer]

I am a Filipino martial arts practitioner who is just learning how to use the Japanese/aikido jo staff. The striking techniques are OK in those systems but being a Filipino practitioner I felt in my heart that my art has it on way of doing it which was probably a lot better and more practical. I was delighted to find out that I was right! Lol.Thank you for your instruction. I’m not putting down the Japanese aikido systems they’re great and I will continue to practice them but my heart will always be in the Philippines rather than Japan

Thanks for this, will apply this in my everyday evening staff training

I recently caught your live chat and asked about tutorials for a staff that's just about chest height, and I found this! And it says you posted this last year! Thank you 😁

[@TheM088]

I love the comment about staff length, and range. A good exercise we taught was just to stand away from your partner (or anything, really); shift your grip, shift your feet; and understand how far you can reach. Your comment on resistance is spot on. But if you are sparring, eye protection! Thx!

Nice learning taking place here in Zimbabwe. Wish to have you near

[@SenseiEmmett]

Awesome. I love staff, I've previously studied the Bo and Jo staffs in Japanese arts, and also the shaolin staff, but this was a lot of fun. I always love learning something new to apply to my art and also to my teaching. Thanks

I enjoy training with my staff. Always looking to expand on what I have already learned. Can't wait to get home and work this drill. Thanks for the drills.

Please more newbie staff stuff

[@juancarloslopezjurado3670]

Thanks a lot for this, is an awesome lesson👍👍👍

[@DesertSandSailor]

Love the staff, I learned staff before sticks. I found that a lot of the shoulder and wrist warm-ups can apply to both, now that I'm learning double stick.

Filipino martial arts have this annoying habit of being practical easy to apply and always fun to do! Unlike Japanese and Chinese arts which require initially a certain amount of concentration and commitment before you become acclimated to the movements in Filipino martial arts you always can learn in five minutes something that you can applyImmediately to a practical situation. Love love love this martial arts

[@nikolab.4065]

Really looks like basic sword training, especially with the shorter staff. Guess it's just universal principles.

[@kalicenter]

Yes, it’s universal principles 👍🏻

[@ttchme9816]

This isn't even staff fighting, you really should stop. Its basically longsword fighting but with sticks instead. Staff must be at least your chin's height or even taller than you when you out on the ground. A staff shouldn't move the way a sword would, that won't be a staff anymore if it do.
