Night Watchman Bo Staff - Polypropylene Construction, Perfect Balance And Weight - Length 6’

The Bo Staff is flexible and I like it that way. If was too stiff it could be brittle enough to break or shatter. I find it to be the perfect flexibility. If I strike an opponent extremely hard it will bounce back and always be ready for the next strike. This is why the Wax Wood staff is popular. It has a give to it. Think of the tree that bends in the wind. It does not break. A tree that is very hard is more likely to break in a strong wind. The bo staff is an excellent weapon and very well made. I give it 5 stars.

CONS: The 6-foot bo is really flexible, as in wobbly. Nowhere near the actual feel of a wooden staff, despite similar weight. Mine also arrived with a bend near one end. PROS: It does have good heft. And even better, easily cut down to smaller size. The Jo staff and escrima is much better, suitable for combat (practice or actual) or trail hiking.
