Alright guys. I know not many people here are a fan of the staff or bo as a weapon. I used to be in the same boat. However, I accompanied a friend of mine to a weapon sparring event yesterday, and I must say, there was one fighter with a couple of his pupils that made great use of the 6 foot staff! One of his pupils lost the match but put up a hell of a fight. The teacher and his other student both won decisive victories. Keep in mind this is a dog brothers style event, not a touch sparring event. I went up to the instructor and asked him where he learned how to do that, he more or less responded Here and there, havent even been doing this for 2 years, just practice a lot I guess. He went on to say that he learned a lot of what he practices from a dog brothers DVD and was for the most part, self taught. Said that he mostly just sparred 2-3 times a week for almost two years while practicing at home a lot of the time. I cant help but want to learn how to use the staff now after what I just saw. Before, I thought that it was far from effective. After what I just saw, I have completely changed my mind on it. Can anybody recommend any other sources similar to the dog brothers DVD? I am actually going to start training with the guy next week, and wanted to get a look at what I would probably be learning for the next 3-4 of months.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
