White Oak Bo Staff

By Matt S. on 5th August 2015

Slightly scuffed on arrival due to poor packaging, but generally a nice bo to use. Stands out amongst all the red oak ones, too!

I have used this, and other versions, for my own training for years. I prefer the White Oak myself. Good Quality, Good Price. I have just acquired a large quantity for my students. If you want a lighter one for younger students, the White Wax Wood one is hard but significantly lighter than the Red or White Oak. I also have the Rattan ones with and without skin for own use but they do take some getting used to and the bend and hence \"twang\" some when wielded so be careful with them.

For a first Bo it's a rewarding challenge to use. After one use my shoulder and wrists felt great, search Blitz for a lighter wood if you're unsure of your strength. Very smooth and powerful, would recommend for those whom love to push your limits or practitioners proficient with a bo.

Light enough to spin well, and solid enough to take a few knocks. Have a White for Kata and Red for contact.

Very strong and decievingly light, perfect for use at my Karate classes.

I teach Wing Chun and a lot of my student have issues transporting the traditional nine and a half foot pole. so i have adapted the form to be used with the shorter bo staff. I thought it would be nice to have a different coloured bo to my students. Lovely hard wood staff not finished with laquer or varnish, so it doesnt slip in you hands. little bit of damage on delivery but i have sanded out, but i am VERY pleased with it. Will be buying more red ones for my students Sifu Courtney-Jones
