THANK YOU SO MUCH for expert training knowledge ! Can you please show how to STRIKE, without loosing the cane. I can't figure it. It looks like you would drop the staff, if you bumped into something with it. I know it's designed to form a space around you, that an attacker won't want to advance thru, but I cant figure the science of it.

Regardless of tool be it staff sword etc when starting realize you will bean yourself a lot. But with practice you improve so as said start slow for it hurts less than thinking you’re jet li chan lee etc and you do it at full speed and cause major pain. Same with if you were locked on before but stopped for awhile. Practice practice practice.

Even after 3 years this guy hearts comments, comments on comments, and replies to comments that has replied to the comments that he comments on. what a legend

[@pasquinilli]

Haha. Thanks! The comments from you and others are why I keep doing these videos. I got really burned out teaching younger and younger students who have every opportunity to do anything they want (or their parents want them to do.) I had a lot of great students for sure, but so many who were just casual and going through the motions. Martial arts was never made for kids but it has become a “kid thing.” While it’s good for everyone, martial arts is not for everyone. When I started to post these videos on KZbin, I found students who were in love with martial arts, or really excited about it, like I was and still am! This global, virtual dojo recharges and reinvigorates me with every single comment. Well mostly, anyway. So I am very grateful for your kind words. Keep training!

[@selenewoods3635]

i had issues with my neck...back...focus....i naturally experimented with a broom stick...which ive now added rubber balls to the end of...to limit knocks...and make it easier to flip back up with my foot in case i drop my staff. its helps my breathing when i am anxious...or physically tight.... and is helping me with my left/right coordination. i have learned on my own until now...but these tutorials are helping to explain proper technique. thank you.

Isn't bo Japanese for staff? So the title basically says "staff staff".

[@pasquinilli]

Yes that’s correct. Purists hate that I use the double name, but since most of my followers are just getting started, they don’t know that bo is Japanese for staff and so when they see someone using a long staff and hear it referred to as a bo staff, that’s what they type in google or KZbin so they can learn more. At some point they will learn but I don’t want to keep them from finding what they are looking for and get stuck on the linguistics of the name. I’m all for removing roadblocks to learning. What’s more important than the name, is feeling like you can learn how to use the Bo. I want you to feel strong and confident and so it doesn’t matter to me what you call it, as long as you are eager to learn.
