+Timothy O'Brien You wanting to see a real bo staff fight is pretty sick.

[@demoskunk]

Your strikes should be aimed at your opponent and not at his bo staff. Same goes for sword training. Otherwise, there's nothing "real" about this. Try it. You'll see how effective your defense is when you're actually trying to hit each other (not with full power or speed, at first, but with real intent. Be safe :)

[@pelwanm.m5614]

However if you are not focusing on the weapon (which holds a threat) you are vulnerable to an potentially lethal injury due to them contering because you are less focused on the weapon By no means am I defending this fake 'fight' but I'm just clarifying that you should focus on both

Depends on the the bo staff material and the sword being used. Does it not?

[@Zoltri]

If you want it to look real you should wait for him to begin a strike before moving to block it. The low block looks really silly when your already set to stop it before he even begins the strike.

[@traininggrounds9450]

I would like to point out that when you slam with a staff another staff to the ground you invariantly open your gut to a good blow. While he is pushing to go down, you can release before you hit, he will continue to go down to the ground but your release was straight to his gut or groin if you're nasty.

[@CrxzyYT]

for this to work the way it is supposed to you would need to add a lot of force to the hit because depending on the type of fight your opponent will be really aggressive and he will try to hit hard so you would need to also be aggressive (or at least really strong) to block and dodge his hits

[@jorgefernandohinojosajurad4735]

They are just playing!!!!

[@jasonling1628]

I love the explanation

[@leovega319]

2:31 Dewcapitate? With a staff? Also, from that position, you are wide open against a downward thrust, so it´s not very likely that he wold do a wide side strike with a crossing step. Also in 2:41, if he was just going for 1 leg, it´s much better to just raise that one leg, then you´d have a foot on the ground and could inmediately counterattack.

[@taylordoty9801]

I also understand that hindsight is 2020 and studying the video you have all the time in the world to think about how you would react. The thing is they are moving so slow and this is a routine they practice and that is why it is wrong. You should be practicing something that is more practical because nobody is going to try and wind up for another swing after they down his bow staff like that they're going to come straight with a back strike

[@googleuser2016]

It's stage fight. The techniques are not even efficient or even suicide if the opponent goes for a direct hit. Look at european medival staff techniques for some survivability.

Jake, you are in good shape and obviously a gifted athlete, but your martial arts is lacking basic fundamental principles. You add movement where there does not need to be any, you look down all the time, you have an anterior pelvic tilt , your arms are always at an obtuse angle rather than a 90 right angle, you make all these sound effects like SKT and have developed bad habits from him, DS and SHS. You need to remove their bad habits from your practice and study from someone that knows what they are doing. Many people have attempted to reach out to you , I do not understand why you can not be humble and learn from them. Many people that do not know will say how great you are and that is fine, but you are misinforming them. Sincerely.

[@Montisaquadeis]

+JohnJohn Agreed I saw plenty of opportunities for a strike.

[@duffmcduffee]

Sure. But when exactly would you actually have a "real" bo staff fight in real life. 99.999% of martial arts is basically dance classes for men. Practical self-defense skills are basically a) don't get into violent confrontations, b) situational awareness, and c) sprinting. For the handful of people in professions that require real physical confrontation skills, a gun beats all other methods, and for less lethal methods, a taser or some pepper spray beats all martial arts methods. If you are a bouncer or a cop, it could be useful to know a couple jiu jitsu moves, but for the ordinary person, it's really about avoiding violence. Everything involving a staff is just for fun.

[@duffmcduffee]

Krav Maga is one of the only practical martial arts for sure

[@yoomeanie]

+Duff McDuffee have you ever been to a martial art class? muay thai? bjj? i know taekwondo at this point has become more of a sport than a martial art, but still no one in their right mind would call it a "dance."

[@Supermario0727]

+Duff McDuffee Your argument about the practicality of these techniques is completely wrong. Anytime an individual gets into a fight, he has the opportunity to use these techniques. Martial arts are not about choreography and dancing. What you are criticizing is only in the movies. A real martial artist will almost always have an advantage over an unskilled fighter.

[@eschelar]

lol, real fight? Start with a bizarre way of holding sticks. Then tapping sticks together without any danger of actually getting hit. Then the attacker pushes actually knocks the stick to the ground and is about to "take his head off" (fight over), but instead of swinging the stick to the open face, he swings past it to let the guard come back up and hit. hrm.

[@RaineAlgessar]

Thank you. Didn't have to write it myself. Ecenomy of motion. The idea of fighting is not to give your opponent time to guard. Quite the contrary. It's sad that the origin of kung fu is so forgotten.

[@RaineAlgessar]

igor caique You learn what you train. If you teach yourself improper technique, you will have improper technique. If it is a demonstration of how you fight with a staff, it should show that. Not how you twirl a staff around pretending to fight. Then that is showmanship, and not fighting. This is showmanship. Certainly not real fighting. In any way, shape or form. For comparison, if I as a member of the SCA would have a demonstration, I would aim to hit my opponent. If he doesn't guard, he'll get hit. That demonstrates that the technique works. If he guards, it shows that the guard works. Risk of injury is simply solved by putting on a damned helmet.

[@eschelar]

RaineAlgessar Absolutely. +igor caique Training is *training*. It's practicing the movement set. No sense in practicing something that leaves you *VERY* vulnerable and calling it a martial arts routine. It's maybe suitable for really, really bad TV shows, but I'm no expert, and even I can see it's truly horrible form.

[@RaineAlgessar]

The problem is usually that a real fight is too fast to be exciting for most people, since they can't follow what is happening. Show-fighting in movies and such exaggerates movement to make it clear what is happening. Issues with this video is that they are not training to actually hit their opponent, and are doing waaay too wide movements. Just like in kung fu movies. They are exposed in a trillion ways and the moves are easily countered by someone who actually knows how to fight with a weapon. It's rubbish, and a scam since they are selling DVDs claiming it to be efficient martial arts.

[@RedSkream]

RaineAlgessar proper... improper.. It doesn't matter.. If it works, it works.. And dude, i am sure this guy is fast... But my money would not be on him on a real bo staff fight.. I learned the basics from him...but fighting.. No.. I did not learn fighting from him.. Fighting you learn by just practicing alone.. By yourself.. Becoming one with the staff.. When you fight, movements come naturally. Not methodically.

[@EnEmerson]

No one would smack staves in the middle in a real fight. The whole point of a fight is to attack your opponent and win the fight, swinging at some arbitrary point in space only to contact the enemy's bo is pointless. Every single time you guys do that, imagine if the other guy didn't have the bo to "block," what would happen? The swing would just fly over his head and miss him completely, because you weren't aiming at anything to begin with!

[@TheSADVeeto]

En Emerson like real kido. if you block, you lost. so the goal is to strike before you are struck with technique.

[@churchiglesiabethel-piano4813]

Im pretty sure this is just a beginners technique , like really beginner but either way i see your point

[@rangda_prime]

Look into what is called "binden" in historical European martial arts. It involves striking a blow to claim the center space between the fighters. If your opponent does not contest this by a similar strike, you can then effortlessly flow into a thrust and finish him. I believe that is what we see vestiges of in this video. Unfortunately, it is obscured by the rest of the performance being so appallingly poor. Check out the youtube channel "Dimicator" for more on this.

"Real fight" aside...I knew better. lol. I've seen some of your other stuff and I know you're pretty good with that thing. My questions/criticisms are practical in nature. In the form, the two high, power strikes didn't appear to be targeted at anything other than each others staffs. So if one of the staffs failed to come up, the other would hit nothing but air. My other issue is towards the end when your staff was pinned. Why would the aggressor choose to release your staff and come all the way around to strike from the other direction when he could just simply come straight up into your face from that position?

what kind of wu shu shit is this??? lol first and foremost the minute you two crossed staves the first time, me as the aggressor would have rolled my staff around yours and smacked you in the face....secondly, when your staff got snapped down to the ground, while your opponents leading leg was opened and exposed sweep your staff forward right into the shin. not to mention all that added movement and spins...waste of energy, be efficient be precise. ..strike hard, strike fast....sit there doing spins and twirls like a cheerleader and I'm going to wait for that gap an hit you....c'mon guys if you're gonna teach people, teach them right

[@harlequin3771]

the video made it clear that this is for beginners bud

[@laotzu9222]

+harly quin and you'll also note harly that is says in the title "real fight" now please explain why beginners would be even light sparring with staves? and also how any of the moves and positioning would benefit a person in an actual fight...in a movie perhaps, where everything is scripted and choreographed. ..but not a fight where your opponent seeks to win

[@harlequin3771]

that "wu shu" shit has been proven to work. not just because you cant grasp the concept of cumulative skill doesn't mean its bullshit. again, it is for beginners. your not supposed to do that exact thing in a fight your supposed to use the individual parts of it and sparing over time strengthens you in doing those manuvers. once again you clearly don't understand how technique works. do soccer players do ball tricks in the middle of a game? hell no. but learning them helps them to improve. let me know if u get what Im saying.

[@harlequin3771]

and the title was true both of them have mastered the bo staff so this is too masters essentialy showing beginers what it would look like all be it the jump was unnessecary.

[@laotzu9222]

+harly quin harly...i mastered the staff long ago, so i do understand the point you are trying to make...but do you understand mine? teaching weapons combat isn't about show, flash or style...it's about efficiency, economic movement, precision...and just a touch of brutal thinking. ...if facing an opponent armed also with a staff, where would you strike for first dear one??? if the answer isn't for the hands holding the staff then you aren't thinking it though the right way....my point is if you want to teach beginners how to fight, teach them right

[@Raiuga-wiz]

2:27 what if he pulled the staff to the left taking advantage of the movement to hit the head?

[@MethosOhio]

Exactly, That passed up a really obvious version of taking his head off for one that was ineffective.

[@OmegaxGoDx]

"real fight" choreographed and at like 1/2 speed. wow..........................

[@nostalgicaproject9114]

Nobody: Martial arts teacher: slaps part of his body while explaining something

[@wolftracker321]

stop click baiting, if youre doing a pattern, say its a pattern. dont call it "real fight", thats fake advertising

[@Cornwalas2]

I expected that to be more epic...seemed slow at the end

[@Ay-xq7mj]

The point is a display of how you would do it. You could learn basic ways of fighting in this technique, which is better than average person, which is none.

[@harlequin3771]

It's training, it's supposed to be slow

[@JemmetGK]

These are great. Your videos are quite timely for my current project-in-the-works... I know my icon there is me as a Klingon, but lately I've been looking into working a Darth Maul Cyborg (Star Wars: Clone Wars) cosplay, with digitigrade legs (look that all up, you'll see) and creating the Staffsaber (it's a bit different from SWep1). I've talked with a friend who wishes to do a different Sith (Darth Talon) and she and I will work out a show routine, using many of the techniques and maneuvers you've shown here. It will take a few months (both to finish the outfit and practice the routine) But I'll try to take video and post it on my channel, then link it to yours ('course with credit for the inspiration). Thank you for your hard work Keep up the good works, Sir.

[@jemand4036]
