Hi Matt, finally figured out why my roll over the pinky side was not working. I was releasing the bo from my hand too soon. Thank you for your help and patience, you are the best!!
Wow the first 2 minutes you literally described what i tried to figure out myself in the last 2 years... (actually i got it some day) But, at least, now i can use the rest 8 minutes of the video to hopefully not waste 8 years for just the idea how to do it xD
Thank you man! I did Kuk sool from the ages 3- 9 and I just found my old staff! Surprisingly I haven’t grown much so I’m trying to remember the movements I did. :D I used a wooden staff that was just a little bit over my head it’s a bit short now but it still gets the job done.
Thank you so much for slowing down the movements and also explaining the importance of warming up in order to prevent injuries. I've watched quite a few of beginner bo tutorials and they are just too fast for beginners. I figure since I'm practicing the nunchakus everyday, I'll also start with the basics of bo training.
Your a really Good Teacher! Thanks for Sharing just started BoStaff having problems with the wrist movement but I will keep practicing daily Thanks for the motivation..You explain it perfectly!💕 Love your TShirts on My list for must buys!
My dad has this walking stick right, I took that walking stick (he still has no idea lol) and I'm now using it for this. It's pretty thick, heavy, and tall but it's easy for me tbh Edit: just saw you mentioned a walking stick, which is what I'm using for this so, yeah 🙂
Everything about this was good except for the fact that you said a wrist roll for the one-handed procedure. If it's on your wrist and the angle of your thumb actually bounces the rod back in your face? Why don't you tell people to roll it like it was around their metatarsals? This is actually the finger bones where they are fused before they are split and makes your palm above your thumb but just for your fingers. This seems to be the platform for which the bo staff seems to rotate when you do the one-handed technique and where small balls are caught besides the fingers themselves, correct me if I am wrong.
Well I’m sure you are right! The term used by most people is wrist roll and so I title the video and use the term “wrist roll” so that TH-cam shows the video when people search that term. I’m certain that metatarsal roll is more correct but not likely to be searched for.
If you back the hand up from the middle slightly your staff will have more momentum kind of like a pendulum and the staff will be doing most of the work with your figure eights. Aside from that a great video. With the wrist roll I find that my hand moves up the staff instead of staying in the middle.
Thanks. The hand constantly needs to be replaced into the middle by sliding during the turn. The Indian styles use more of the pendulum style you describe.
You can’t. You have to reposition your hand to regain the center. It comes more naturally with time. I’ll make you a video that includes the technique and slow it down!
how height is the staff to you sir Matt? I do kung fu and my school is a good school but honestly I have never taught to warm up (well with at beginning of the whole training but not staff warm up at all). The only spin I learn when I learn the form. So what I am trying to say is this is awesome and thank you.
I only have one arm and I have to learn how to do the staff spins. Any help will be appreciated. The video I just watched was helpful with having it balance on the back of my hand but still hard to get the staff to stay even(my hand grabbing it in the middle) I also would like to see how to use jewel, bongs one-handed thank you
Neat! Thank you so much for sharing this. Usually I use this technique (hand roll) and I can put it behind my back too and throw it up but I have no idea how to do the spins for both sides of the body at the sorta middle of the video so I appreciate this helpful tutorial and hopefully I'll become better with time! :) (and I use an oar because it glides easier for me and it was lying around so I just used it, thanks again) Edit: I also forgot to mention with the wrist roll it just goes one way and it keeps sliding that one way until the end of my oar and when I use it the opposite way over and over again it doesn't build momentum and I don't want to use the two hand technique because I always fumble with it so yeah.
If you wanna get started but don't have the cash yet for a good staff just go to a hardware store to the moulding isle and grab a dowel of the right length and girth for you and practice with that. That's what I did. I got a 1.25 inch by 6ft pine dowel to learn with. Cost me $12
I am just wondering if there is a name for the type of way that I "juggle". It's holding your arms straight infront of you and you keep hitting the stick down with one arm in a way where it spins around your wrist. I think it sort of make an infinitely symbol. Keep in mind no using hands, just arms. Anyone know what this is called? If so please reply to this comment.
When i doing this i always hit myself to my legs or my head :D but i doesnt give up i also trying with a mop and outside ať the park i always training and people are always watching me and trying to copy me
If you are buying the cane masters quantum Kali sticks, they are sold in pairs. Most other sites, like Century, sell them as a single stick. canemasters.com/affiliate-pages/quantum-martial-arts/quantum-escrima-sticks
I tried this wrist roll technique but it just didn't seem to sync up until I remembered . . . I was missing that music. . . . 5:10 . . . lol (excellent presentation, by the way!)
I wanna use this as a self defense move, like if someone is trying to attack me with like a wooden stick, it just keeps getting deflected. Ima highly trained ninja I can do a tornado kick, a hood round house, I am close to learning a front flip and my sword skills are good, bo staff skills are not bad but I just don’t know how to spin.
I've gotten the basics of the wrist roll down, but everytime i do it my hand lands at the end of my staff or somewhere where i cant do the one handed spin or its gonna fall, any tips?
I can’t wait to do this just to scare my friends once I get a big stick lol
Hahaha. Be nice!
Same
Just get a broomstick, that's what I use
Edit: Spelling
Same lol
Facts
Me: *uses mop*
Matt: *This isn’t how you’re supposed toplay the game*
I used a mop too! You are doing it right. Keep training!
dude i’m using the stick part of one of those things that you sweep trash into i feel you😭
i just took my parents swiffer thing and detached the mop part 😭
I'm using a big stick
"Grab your martial arts staff and..."
Ah yes, my 1.1m wooden stick will do
I’m doing this with one of those cheap Christmas candy canes lol
Im doing it with a pvc pipe bro, you're good
Broom anyone
i’m doing it with a long extendable back scratcher, don’t worry

Awesome! That’s great. Keep training!
Hello there Matt. Excellent routine, easy to follow. These exercises can b done at home and r a great way to get familiar with the weapon. Thank u.
Thank you for your comment! It’s true! I love training at home!

You've started me on a journey I've wanted to try for a while, thank you for such simple advice
My pleasure. Thanks so much for training with me!

I used a curved pvc pipe. It worked like a charm thanks Matt ❤
You are an excellent instructor! I’ve relied on your videos for all my black belt exams.
Thank you so much! I’m glad I could add some value!
Me after watching 1 episode of naruto

That’s great. Thank you Ayushman!
Thank you for your hard work and for posting this...i am grateful because i wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn otherwise...thank you very much
I was already doing this but with my own techniques but the way you showed me are really good. And I can say I've improved a lot thankyou.
Your a really Good Teacher! Thanks for Sharing just started BoStaff having problems with the wrist movement but I will keep practicing daily Thanks for the motivation..You explain it perfectly!💕 Love your TShirts on My list for must buys!

Defending with a walking stick sounds cool tbh
This is the best tutorial so far
Thank you Xavier!
Thanks Matt you give me the final spin on the side to side one hand still doing lives cheers
Thanks Matt getting into the bo staff a little more serious
The best teacher ever dude!!
Thank you Mads!
@@pasquinilli Your the on i should thanks!! This guide was really good

Thanks for the feedback! I am glad you are improving. Keep training and you will be better than me at some point!
Amazing teaching!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
As a guy who loves sun wukong
This gives me joy
Thanks! I too am a big fan of the Monkey King!
@@pasquinilli Glad to know even masters are fanboys of someone😄
Yes. We all are inspired by someone!
Wow amazing video.
Love the staff you used.
Thank you. It’s a fun staff!
Thanks finally have that good fluid motion
This is a really helpful tutorial and I tried it on a spear. It was a bit more difficult but still worked and looked impressive!!! ❤❤❤
Awesome. Glad it helped. Thanks!
great master very very much talented
thank you so much, i love your tutorials 🙏🙏🙏 my favorite channel
I want to learn this because of Chat noir 😂✨
Also got a question where did you buy the Staff?
Haha. That’s a great reason! Get your bo staff here in this store bit.ly/2ZS1Cku
@@pasquinilli is their like 3 feet? Cause I am about 4’somthing feet yep I’m short
But I am really interested in learning this
@@binjinforever198 if its 3 ft and you're grabbing it in the middle, its roughly 1.5 feet on each end, so your height doesn't really matter
thank you masta🙏🏽

Great tracher thank you very much
Thank you Jack!

Thanks TG!!
How do I stop the pole from sliding out the centre when I’m doing the wrist role
You can’t. You have to reposition your hand to regain the center. It comes more naturally with time. I’ll make you a video that includes the technique and slow it down!

So what I am trying to say is this is awesome and thank you.
Thank you for those great compliments! The staff I am using is 72” or six feet. How long is the staff you use?
*It's originally came from kalaripayattu(mother of all martial arts) which originated in India then it moved to china and then all around the world!*
That is true!
2:17, best part, looks like it spins and sO cOoL to show off, but ngl its really cool
Thanks for that Drip Cole!
@@pasquinilli yeah i actually just searched for it because of ninjago :D
Im using my back scratcher for this😎
Perfect use for a backscratcher!
i’ve learnt how to spin a stick with one hand while waiting for my step-dad to come and unlock the door… EFFICIENT
Haha
What fun what fun!!
If you know you know
Me with my broom stick when I saw the one hand spin :👁👄👁 sure......
Thanks! I'm getting a darth maul lightsaber soon and I want to actually use it
So cool! Did you get it? Try this one too th-cam.com/video/Jl_ofOLO7rg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I'm still looking for a good lightsaber though
Dude that's for beginners who will never know how it's really done, I taught God how to use the staff he has.
Hahaha. I think you’re thinking of Moses. God doesn’t need a staff.
Thank you sir
Me here practicing with a diy staff made with gift wrap tubes taped together😅😅😅😅😂
I am going to keep trying
Excellent! It beats giving up! Keep training!
Amazing 🤩
Thanks you soooo much!!! I am very happy and I now know how to do it ':)
Thanku sir l learn it within 1day
Me: *wants to learn some moves because I think that I look like a 4 y/o doing this*
This guy: *does literally the same*
I only have one arm and I have to learn how to do the staff spins. Any help will be appreciated. The video I just watched was helpful with having it balance on the back of my hand but still hard to get the staff to stay even(my hand grabbing it in the middle) I also would like to see how to use jewel, bongs one-handed thank you
I thought it was cool that the Horde in She-Ra used bo staffs and I wanted to learn some of their moves.
The first one I’ll recommend for my self cause I don’t have heavy staff
Perfect. Use the one you have!
Neat! Thank you so much for sharing this. Usually I use this technique (hand roll) and I can put it behind my back too and throw it up but I have no idea how to do the spins for both sides of the body at the sorta middle of the video so I appreciate this helpful tutorial and hopefully I'll become better with time! :) (and I use an oar because it glides easier for me and it was lying around so I just used it, thanks again)

Awesome! I talk about how to keep it in the middle on the wrist rolls in either direction. I can talk about that again on the next live Bo stream
Ah yes, this is what I do when I’m bored in lock down
Nice 🙏🙌👌
It's really worked
That staff is not listed on the website you have listed in the link
Sorry. They don’t make this one anymore. Check kombativ.com
Allowing the staff to leave your grip in a backhand roll seems very awkward and clumsy at first. Oh, yes, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! 🤠
Hahaha. Yes! You got it!
If you wanna get started but don't have the cash yet for a good staff just go to a hardware store to the moulding isle and grab a dowel of the right length and girth for you and practice with that. That's what I did. I got a 1.25 inch by 6ft pine dowel to learn with. Cost me $12
Note: do not do any impact training with hardware store dowels they won't hold up.

If so please reply to this comment.
What staff to practice with? Please thanks

Awesome! Keep training C.K.
Nice
No one :

Me : **uses an unused curtain rod**
Perfect use for it!
It’s almost 1 AM and I’m watching this so in the morning I can do it with my broom to scare my brother
Haha. How did it go?
@@pasquinilli I haven’t been able to do it yet so for now I’m putting my hand in the freezer then on his face
Thanks dude.im 11 years old and I can do this
I’m 12 and same
I’m 14 and can’t 😞
Fifteen and just started trying
When buying the ecrisma stick does it come with two or do I need to buy two
If you are buying the cane masters quantum Kali sticks, they are sold in pairs. Most other sites, like Century, sell them as a single stick. canemasters.com/affiliate-pages/quantum-martial-arts/quantum-escrima-sticks
Ok thanks so much
Can I try this with a medium sized wooden stick?
Yes! For sure!
I tried this wrist roll technique but it just didn't seem to sync up until I remembered . . . I was missing that music. . . . 5:10 . . . lol (excellent presentation, by the way!)
Haha. Love it. Thanks!
@@___HH___ thanks. Go for the standard 72” Bo.
@@pasquinilli Thank you.
I wanna point out it dosent matter how bit the staff is, I’m using a 6’2 pool skimmer stick made of thick metal
You are putting this tutorial perfectly but I do not know why I am not able to learn any thing😖
Just keep training. You’ll get it!
I used an bamboo stick which is not sanded and i got splinters. Not the best thing ive done in my life
Ouch!! Pick them out. Sand that thing down Keep training!
I'm on my way to become a ninja!
Awesome!

Real Fire
Make sure it is balanced correctly is what my advice would be. Maybe try doing it faster?
I like this video it’s very weird made :)
