Foam Bo Staff Review | All you need to know | Enso Martial Arts Shop

Im gonna buy a foam bo for my son, he's 3 years old lol hey teach em while they're young right?

How well does it take full swings from another foam bo when you block with the middle of the staff and a very wide-handed grip? So basically, the most stress the staff can come under during regular sparring (grappling aside). I currently have a 128cm (4 ft) foam jyo which bends in the middle under stress but hasn't broken yet. Looks like the same brand btw. I'm considering getting a foam bo but have concerns that the increased length will make it a lot easier for the plastic core to break. So any input on how much stress the bo length staffs can handle would be much appreciated.

Hi There, the construction of the Bo is the exact same as the Jo, however the Bo is slightly thicker to help the strain on the staff when it is put under pressure. The Foam Jo and Bo will always give a little but unless you are hitting it with a different type of staff like a Wooden or graphite staff, the chances of breaking either are the same.

What's the circumference on that staff?

Diameter = 1.5 inches / 3.5cm

Was eager to get it as I wanted to practice sparring.. till I saw the shipping cost to Canada... was estimated at 160 dollars Canadian.. like Jesus the shipping was literally 4 times the price of the staff.. bummer man, that's way outta my price range for a plastic and foam Bo staff.. good and informative video though.. had me sold up until that

Hey man, long items like the bo staff are very expensive to ship these days, They are too long for them to go through automated machines to have to be handle manually. It pushes the price right up. It the same all over the world now. Even within the UK here it's expensive

[@nickolasp.5070]

@@EnsoMartialArts I mean.. that's fair.. but i just got one purchased and delivered for 80 bucks in less than a week.. so its definitely doable.. i'm not trying to bash you im sure if it was shipped UK the shipping would be much cheaper but for Canada and America.. too costly but i appreciated the video review.. sold me on getting foam staff for sparring so thank you
