As a professional musician I SO appreciate how you discuss practise method - starting slow and master it - before speeding up. The number one issue I come across with my beginner students is they want to take off and play too fast without mastery of skill. Thank you for such an excellent tutorial!

I just found your channel a few days ago. I’m a 66y.o. Former martial artist (when I was much younger) that has always wanted to learn the Bo. My style Tae Kwon Do, only taught the staff to upper black belts. And I only got my first degree before giving it up for family life. I have been working through your videos and have learned so much already. Thank you sooooo much for making these lessons. They are absolutely fantastic!

Bought myself a training staff by cold steel a couple months ago and knew right away it was one of the best investments I've ever made in my life. I've been flowing with gada and clubs for a couple years, so i took to it quickly. Wish I had invested in these skills much earlier in life, but it's better to arrive fashionably late than never to arrive at all 🖤 very happy to have found your channel. Thank you 🇨🇦

Really enjoyed this video; the way you explain the BasicFlow with your arms straight really helped me and I found it to be much clearer than the other tutorials I have watched. I’m a bit unsure about the footwork though as other tutorials talk about standing in a neutral stance and using your hips to give momentum but maybe this is more to do with using this in a more combative rather than just spinning for fun :-). Looking forward to watching your next video after I get the skills shown here up to a reasonable speed. Thanks for posting.

I come from the hippy dippy hula hooper wannabe background but honestly switching props opens up so much, have busted out the bo staff and literally just been playing and it's so much fun to watch different concepts play out.

Some "conduit pipe" is stronger than others... Bamboo staff is preferable, though you could spend the money on 1" diameter "Dowling.".. But, you'll find electrical tape can get gooey_compared to Gorilla Tape_for the center grip !
