[@johnbraucher1499]

There are companies who make things like this thatre weighted on the ends. They also make axes, hatches, daggers, and many other weighted tools you can use to get very strong in areas not many other work on ever. Another really good way to get strong in areas no one would think about, is getting yourself an armwrestling table and hold practices two to three times a week or maybe once or twice depending on your schedule. I guarantee you you'll be freakishly strong in your pronation, supination, and many other various commonly uncorked muscle groups. Its pretty cool, i started adding all of these to my weeks and I will never go back.

Thank you man! I did Kuk sool from the ages 3- 9 and I just found my old staff! Surprisingly I haven’t grown much so I’m trying to remember the movements I did. :D I used a wooden staff that was just a little bit over my head it’s a bit short now but it still gets the job done.

Thanks finally have that good fluid motion

[@eaglewolfzen]

Everything about this was good except for the fact that you said a wrist roll for the one-handed procedure. If it's on your wrist and the angle of your thumb actually bounces the rod back in your face? Why don't you tell people to roll it like it was around their metatarsals? This is actually the finger bones where they are fused before they are split and makes your palm above your thumb but just for your fingers. This seems to be the platform for which the bo staff seems to rotate when you do the one-handed technique and where small balls are caught besides the fingers themselves, correct me if I am wrong.

[@pasquinilli]

Well I’m sure you are right! The term used by most people is wrist roll and so I title the video and use the term “wrist roll” so that KZbin shows the video when people search that term. I’m certain that metatarsal roll is more correct but not likely to be searched for.

[@octokw1]

Neat! Thank you so much for sharing this. Usually I use this technique (hand roll) and I can put it behind my back too and throw it up but I have no idea how to do the spins for both sides of the body at the sorta middle of the video so I appreciate this helpful tutorial and hopefully I'll become better with time! :) (and I use an oar because it glides easier for me and it was lying around so I just used it, thanks again) Edit: I also forgot to mention with the wrist roll it just goes one way and it keeps sliding that one way until the end of my oar and when I use it the opposite way over and over again it doesn't build momentum and I don't want to use the two hand technique because I always fumble with it so yeah.

[@pasquinilli]

Awesome! I talk about how to keep it in the middle on the wrist rolls in either direction. I can talk about that again on the next live Bo stream

[@Beau-Bo]

i’ve learnt how to spin a stick with one hand while waiting for my step-dad to come and unlock the door… EFFICIENT

[@pasquinilli]

Haha

[@kenvng]

how height is the staff to you sir Matt? I do kung fu and my school is a good school but honestly I have never taught to warm up (well with at beginning of the whole training but not staff warm up at all). The only spin I learn when I learn the form. So what I am trying to say is this is awesome and thank you.

[@pasquinilli]

Thank you for those great compliments! The staff I am using is 72” or six feet. How long is the staff you use?

[@Uunidentifiedd]

How do I stop the pole from sliding out the centre when I’m doing the wrist role

[@pasquinilli]

You can’t. You have to reposition your hand to regain the center. It comes more naturally with time. I’ll make you a video that includes the technique and slow it down!

I am just wondering if there is a name for the type of way that I "juggle".

Keep in mind no using hands, just arms. Anyone know what this is called? If so please reply to this comment.
