Although the bo staff is a versatile and commonly found weapon, let’s face it – it’s a big stick. You can paint it, and sprinkle it with kanji-adorned mystisism, but it’s still a big stick.

We’ve put together a collection of bo staff technique videos for you to check out.

Basic Spin

Although bo staff spinning isn’t the first things you’ll learn when studying bo staff, it’s certainly one of the more impressive techniques. Like with all elements of Jujitsu however, you’ve got to start off slow and practice hard. I like this video because it’s not out to impress – but it does teach some important, fundamental points to bo staff spinning.

360 Spin

Assuming you’ve watched the first video and come back a couple of weeks later after religiously practising, here’s how to pull off a 360 spin bo staff technique. Expect to clip your ear a few times before you master it

Bo Staff Grip

A great little exercise to develop your bo staff technique – just by repeatedly changing your grip you can build strength, control and balance when spinning the bo staff. This is the unsexy part to getting white hot with the bo staff.

Bo Staff Tricks in Karate

So after a few years of twizzing and twirling, you can stick all your bo staff techniques together in an almight kata, play some thumpy bang-bang music and look damn impressive.

Try Not to Do This…

If you haven’t clocked yourself on the head yet with your bo staff, you obviously haven’t pushed youself past your comfort zone! Get practising and go get all Donatello on your opponents!

The World Jujitsu Federation WJJF belt order runs follows the traditional white to black route, but with the unusual addition of the red belt right at the beginning. This allows everyone on the mat to see at a glance those beginners who need space and help with their techniques, as well as ensuring other belts take it easier with them on sparring and throws.

All WJJF belts at the kyu level (beneath black belt) are around 3-4 months in duration to complete, with the exception of the brown belt which is around 6-12 months in preparation for the black belt grading.

There is a blue and white belt before the blue belt, and a brown and white belt before the brown, as the syllabus has developed to the point where it became important to split some of the belts into easier digestible sections.
