Spiral Rattan Bo Staff
+ DESCRIPTION
This single piece of rattan is long and has ornamental burn marks creating a spiral effect all the way down the shaft. This barber's pole effect gives a nice optical illusion when the staff is in motion, especially during body rolls and wrist wraps. The infinite twists of your katas will mesmerize your adversary, and probably anyone else watching. At about 6 feet long, this naturally textured staff weapon is ready to give and take hits in aikido, taekwondo, and kung fu.
Due to the natural material of rattan, the diameter of these bo staffs may differ slightly, but are about 1-inch. The size of this staff makes it look heavy, but picking it up for training or transport will leave you pleasantly surprised. Rattan is a reed that grows quickly like bamboo, but it is not hollow or brittle. These reeds have been used for a long time in Southeast Asia as both a building material and for crafting weapons. The fibers grow in a straight line together, but bond in a way that give this fighting staff the flexibility to not excessively vibrate your hands.
Constant impacts from strike training can leave your muscles sore and your bones tender, but using a more flexible rattan staff will minimize these ailments. This authentic and all-natural staff weapon will hold for many hours of combat and drilling, provided you don't use it in a way other than intended. Just don't hypnotize yourself with the spiraling shaft design, as you may lose your fight with balance!
