Expandable Bo Staff Review & Strength Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- This week for Weapons Wednesday, we tested out some of the different versions of the expandable bo staff that are available at www.KarateMart...
I made this video for two reasons:
1) We are carrying some new versions of the collapsible bo staff, so I wanted to show off the differences between them.
2) Our customers are always asking how strong the expandable bo staff is. They want to know whether the telescoping bo staff is strictly made for practicing forms or whether they can actually be used for combat. Specifically, they want to know whether the smallest end-section of the extendable bo staff can withstand some impact. So, I tested a couple of them out in this video.
➡️ As always, these videos are intended for informational purposes only and you should always check your local laws before purchasing any weapons because restrictions do vary by State, City, Country and Municipality.

📆 Weapons Wednesday Series
Each week, we choose and review various knives, axes, swords, and self-defense weapons to demonstrate their worth and let you decide the winner. We comb through the world of weapons to bring ones we think you'll love, plus our favorites, and show them off each week. Our goal is to give a fair and honest review of each weapon, putting it through a literal battery of tests to see how it performs.
You can find all the telescoping staffs shown in this video here: www.karatemart...
Sara lance has been real quiet after this
Lol…thanks so much for watching!
Lol, and so did her sister and dinah after her lol
How ti buy this
@@Karatemart Do u sell it
No I’ve been watching this whole time :)
My jaw dropped when I saw the staff go through the watermelon lol. I thought this was going to be like those garbage-grade pocket staffs that breaks itself upon use but this actually looks great.
Thank you! I know exactly which pocket staffs you are referring to…those things are basically just a toy. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
The pocket bo staffs are a very awesome concept, if they could just hold together...
This collapsible one is way more awesome though
are the staffs in the video legal to use in self defence?
@@Karatemart
One thing this video does so simple yet so well is presentation. Wonderful. In less than 5 minutes, I'm sold. I don't even have to finish the video but I already know that my money is going towards the 2 Piece Collapsible Bo Staff and it will soon one day be mine. Brilliant products and brilliant product demonstrations.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! You made my day!
@@Karatemart Not a problem. Your vid made my day. I was taken aback. Like I said, I saw this vid, I instantly knew I need this in my life. I even told my brother! He actually has heard of your site. He bought a baseball bat stun/taser baton from you guys. I just didn't know he got it from you guys. Small world after all haha. I was planning on getting the baseball bat baton but, like I said. I know what I like lol. This Bo staff simply speaks to me.
I see you are currently out of stock. No worries. I understand business can be hard or you have something planned/that you are working on. I don't need the staff anytime soon. Im not picking/starting any fights, I checked my calendar and I have no fights scheduled, I'm not even involved in any secret Fight Club. So I'll be patient and wait for you to restock. Just please please please let me get my 2 Piece Collapsible Bo Staff ASAP but take your time.
@@DblSol I really appreciate that! Thank you for your support and please let your brother know that I appreciate it as well. Yeah, sadly there is a metal shortage in Phoenix right now (I’m guessing due to the housing boom), so we are having trouble getting certain metals we need to make weapons. We are expecting the materials we need for that item in a week or so, so you won’t have to wait for long. Thanks again man! I appreciate it!
Jesus. I’ve had my original collapsable bo staff for years. I appreciate how much work y’all put into it because it still works.
Awesome! I really appreciate that! I’m so glad you still love it!
Having the products on the table helps so much in the flow of your videos. Great job.
Thank you so much Gerald! I'm actually going to be switching the way I do my videos from this point forward. We add new products to KarateMart.com daily, so many of them are not getting reviewed. I think instead of Weapons Wednesday, I'm just going to start reviewing and testing individual products as we add them to the website. That way, our customers will get to see a lot more. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it!
Great video! I own a baton myself and I really need those batons that extend from both sides. Keep up the great work
Thanks so much! It’s a pretty cool weapon. I really appreciate your continued support! You seem like such a nice person!
@@Karatemart don’t appreciate me, I should appreciate you for showing me all of these cool weapons and great content!!!!!!
I prefer the two piece staff. Great video and information 👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks so much, brother! I really appreciate that! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
Sweet bo staffs.
Pretty nifty the way your two peice connected.
Please keep up the review.
I love them.
Thank you so much Kyle! I really appreciate your support! It’s people like you who make these videos worth doing. Have a great week!
This is a solid Daredevil tutorial 10/10 👍
I love Daredevil! Thanks so much for watching!
I popped this open for the first time after seeing you do it and shouted in pure joy 😂👏🏾
That’s awesome! I’m glad you like it. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Thank God you didn't test it the way you test the tasers!
Hahaha...that comment cracked me up! Thanks so much for watching my video, Matias!!
Great video and very informative. Love how strong the 2 piece is and how easy it is to put together and take apart. Thank you
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! It’s definitely one of my favorite weapons. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart hey If i buy The 2 piece expandable bo staff gonna arrives when in Brazil?? And pls i have one question The 2 piece expandable bo staff its like a collapsable? Or instead of assembling the two poles for the bo staff, it is collapsible, just put it in the hole and if you want the two poles later and just fold it? Pls answer me i think im gonna buy 5 of The weapon lol
@@chupacabra3306 hi! I’m having a little trouble understanding your question, but I believe what you are saying makes sense. Please contact our customer service team at Service@KarateMart.com or 1800-977-6928 and they can answer any other questions for you. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart i Just wanna know If The expandable bo staff can be collapsable quickly or no pls
@@chupacabra3306 yes it can. It’s not a well made as the collapsible Bo staff, but it is a less expensive alternative.
This does look like a really cool weapon. What keeps the staff from inadvertently opening up? Is there a twist locking mechanism? Or is the force necessary to extend them more than the normal swing of the arms? I'd hate to raise it and have it open before I'm ready.
Great question! Depending on the model chosen, we have a couple of different mechanisms holding the ends in. I’m some other videos, I shake them a little more to show that that isn’t a problem. Thanks so much for watching!
Dunno, it looks like some kind of mechanism inside whereby if you give it a sharp flip in either way on the vertical axis, it will open, Darth Maul Double Light Sabre fashion, it is as cool as it is actually effective as a weapon
@@Jmbr-eh6xr It's something so simple, I'm surprised that this thing didn't already exist without them having to create it. They had a great idea coming up with this thing.
Pricing isn't bad either, so I will be saving up for this. Might need to get more than one even.
It looks like some kind of internal oscillation/gyroscopic mechanism whereby when you move it sharply in a certain way it opens up, because there are no switches, very sophisticated device
Be awesome shit if there some way to make it auto retract as well, think of the mechanism in automatic umbrellas 🌂, they can auto open and close, but can't retract, that is the difficult part to engineer ⚙⚙⚙🔧🔧🔧, double hydraulics system is one way to do it, challenge is fitting it inside a handle without the device being far too bulky
Magnets... its literally just magnets, no pseudo-science here
At least in the one I've had for years lol.
what intense strength testing!
Thank you so much for watching Josiah! I really appreciate it!
I am sold!!! I love it. I will definitely order the one piece 6 foot.
Awesome! Thank you so much for your support!
I have the original version I got from you. Don't see a need to have a new one. Satisfied customer here. Also brings to mind the collapsible staves used by the Rangers (Anla'Shok) in Babylon 5.
That’s awesome Jordan! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Its a mimbari fighting pike and you are only jealous beacuse you dont have one. A simple case of pikel envy!- Marcus

But can you sulkily snap it open and closed while passing the time on a freighter. No. Takes away some of the fun…..where’s the innuendo?
Your channel is so wholesome. I recently bought this staff, I'm excited to test it out considering I'm already a professional at using all kinds of weapons!
By the way, I had a question, is this easy to conceal in a place like a backpack or in your pants?
Thank you so much for support! I really appreciate it! It’s small enough to transport, but definitely check your local laws before concealing it. I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
2:38 The economical version is for battles with either really patient opponents, or villains who thoroughly enjoy monologuing. 😝
Jesting aside, great looking products all around, mate!
Hahahaha! That cracked me up! Thanks so much for your support! I really appreciate it!
This is so cool, Reminds me of robin in the Batman arkham games, he uses an Expandable bo staff. I will have to look at my states laws on these, I want one.
They are pretty cool Luke. Thanks so much for watching, man!
We are getting closer to getting light saber technology!
Very true! Thanks so much for watching!
Got to be one of the coolest weapons out there! Wish these were legal in the UK
Thanks so much Lewis! I really appreciate that! Have a great week!
@@implausibleimpossiblehypot4006 good idea I will look it up
Don't feel too bad. They aren't legal in California where I live in the US either. Ironically its less of an offense to carry a handgun without a permit than to own one of these which just proves our government is just as dumb as yours sometimes.
This guy has my dream job
It’s a lot of work, my friend! But it does have it’s advantages! Thanks so much for watching!
For the economical version
Instead of adding a centre piece, you can make one batons end male thread and the other ones female thread. That way when you remove the bottoms, they can just thread together
You definitely could, Nelly. Thanks so much for watching!
Now Fans of White Canary (Sara Lance) from DC's Legends of Tomorrow can buy the silver 2 piece and basically have a usable prop of her Weapon.
Very true! Quite a few TV shows and movies have purchased these staffs from us for their shows. Thanks so much for watching!
As soon as I have the $640. Gettin the original staff & blue staff. Along with the original 2 piece & blue 2 piece. All 5 ft so 3/4 will have cases & carry holsters :)
@@HalloweenStalker666 wow…that sounds like a really cool combination of staffs! Thanks so much for your support! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart ive been looking them over. For now im stickin with buying both original staffs with the diamond rubberized handles. The metallic blue dont seem like the Grip would be sufficient (without gloves) for a Novice such as myself. Maybe after i practice with the originals (1 piece & 2 piece staffs) first
@@HalloweenStalker666 those are both excellent choices, Dan! I really appreciate your support, my friend!
This guy cant give up salute to you
Thank you so much for watching Andrey!
You’ve got a really good channel going here mate. I’m really enjoying it. You come across really well, like a natural!
And great seeing all the cool stuff, keep it up!👍🇬🇧 god bless America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks man! That is so kind of you to say!
Wow! I like the split-able version. Do you ship internationally?
Hi Ian! Yes, we do ship internationally, but we have to check the laws in your country first. Please check www.KarateMart.com/international for more details. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart What about Greece? It isn't mentioned on the list
@@Miltiades178 great question! If it’s not on the list, then we haven’t been asked to ship anything there yet. Please email our customer service so that they can check the laws in your Country and see what can ship there. Thanks so much!
Sara Lance?! Can’t wait to order mine!
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
@@Karatemart Ordered! So excited!
@@seggsymercymain2533 awesome! I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Nice these finally became real. We have the Minbari Fighting Pike. Next? The High Guard Force Lance.
Thanks Philip! I hope you are having an excellent week!
One of the thing I like about staff combat is the ability to use it from both the middle like in the video, and from one end and extending my reach and leverage. I guess if they're collapsible, they aren't really designed for that kind of usage, but... is it at all possible? Would the end I'm holding run as much of a risk of warping on contact as the end that strikes? Would that midsection hold up to usage like that?
Don't get me wrong: this thing looks freaking cool, and the ability to go from staff to dual-wield seems legit! But before I go trying to use this thing in the ways I've been trained to use solid poles, I gotta know if I'm gonna break it in strange places.
That is an excellent question, Chuck! I invented this about 10 years ago to strictly be used as a compact way to transport your staff too and from tournaments easier. It is the same strength as a collapsible baton, so it can take impact, but it’s not really meant for that and it may bend if struck hard against something very dense. If you are planning on hard strikes that could warp it, I wouldn’t recommend it for that. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Never knew I needed an upgrade to my baton.. yes I do..
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
NICE Kyle!!!
I have been wondering how sturdy these are. I’ve been interested in them because it’s a really good idea! The one you guyz make looks very sturdy and of very high quality. I definitely want one! Yeah hitting something like Woody, the wooden dummy, is not at all representative of its real purpose. The melon is definitely closer. I wonder about ballistic gel though? A staff probably won’t penetrate it but the impact would be like hitting a torso. I wonder how a katana would slice ballistic gel now that I’m thinking about it.....
Anyway...as always...awesome video man!!!
Thanks so much John! I really appreciate your comments! I'm definitely going to have to test these out a little more in the future. To be honest, I really had to rush to put this video together because I had to fly out to the Blade Show in Atlanta last week, so it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. Thanks again John! I really appreciate the support!
@@Karatemart ur welcome Buddy!
As you know I used to make custom blades. I’d would of loved to go! Have fun!
Even though you might of felt rushed it’s still way cool!
@@johnemmons9087 thanks John! I hope you have a great week brother!
Great for spins, and sure for slashes too, no complaints.
But what about the jab ?
I mean, if I hit with the tip, don't the segments retract ?
Is there a collapsible stick that has a device that doesn't allow it to retract when you jab ?
Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart I see. I gather that there is currently no device that allows segments to be locked once extended. Thanks for the reply.
* 10 men just running towards me *
Me: 2:42
HAHAHA....I agree, that version is WAY too slow! Thank you so much for watching!
I have a question:- Will the 2 piece bo staff contract while poking the enemy with the ends? It will be a big con right
Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
Just got mine hard to close testing it out yesterday. Still learning.
Hey Stiles! It’s very important that when closing it, you strike it exactly perpendicular to the ground and strike it on a very sturdy surface. If you have questions, please feel free to call our customer service team and they can probably explain it better over the phone. Thanks so much for your support, my friend!
@@Karatemart Ok thanks.
If I were to thrust the staff at a target, would it collapse or is there a locking mechanism? Otherwise the quick connect feature is really cool!
When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible.
@@Karatemart I was thinking of the same question. But would it be sore if someone is poked with these staffs? Another way to ask my question is If used for self defense, would it be better to only use the staff/stick to strike (like hitting the watermelon), or would a poke with it be sore enough to hurt someone?
@@KieranTong hi Kieran! It takes a lot of force from a very solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so you can definitely jab with the tips as well if the staff is opened properly with enough force. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart Thanks for replying. A proficient practitioner should be able to thrust a bo staff with a lot of force. That's why I was wondering. I like that you have multiple versions, 1 and 2 pieces. It's a nice looking product too. Have a great 2022!
@@KieranTong thanks Kieran! I appreciate that! I hope you have a great 2022 as well!
i dont have the exact measurements...but that looks more like a hanbo or jo staff at best. bo staves are usually around 6ft in length.
Thanks so much for watching!
Love them . I keep thinking I've seen this product on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with The Agent May aka The Calvary use this .
I wouldn’t be surprised! We sell many of our weapons to movie studios. I’ve seen our collapsible staff appear in many TV shows and movies. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart I seem to recall Black Canary on CW's Arrow used one, too.
@@ObservantPiratePlus yeah…I think that was the first time I saw it on TV. We sold a bunch of our weapons to that studio and I think that was one of them. Sometimes they let us know when one of our items is going to be used in a movie and sometimes we just notice the name of a movie studio when we are sending stuff out.
@@ObservantPiratePlus Sara Lance uses a silver colored collapsible bo staff which looks amazing as hell. This is the best I could find that matched hers. I wish @KarateMart recreated Sara Lance’s bo staff. I’d cop that so fast
Love your Channel..Thank You so much for Sharing all your Videos with Us especially me..I've always Loved Weapons..I'm starting a Collection and Learning how to use everyone .Your Channel has all the info I need..Ohhhh and your Gorgeous which is a Plus .Plus..
Thanks so much, Jackie! That is so kind of you to say! I really appreciate all of your support! I hope you have an excellent week!
I would love to see what kind of damage the collapsible bo staff will do to a ballistic dummy
Me too! Maybe one day. Thanks so much for watching, John! I really appreciate it!
Why do your products have a Prop 65 cancer warning? I was going to buy until I saw that, never seen a tactical product before that has a cancer warning.
That's a great question, Lena! California started enforcing that warning a while back and because there are approximately 900 chemicals that require the warning, it became next to impossible to determine which chemicals are in the 5000 products we carry. So, to play it say, we did what most other companies have chosen to do at this point and added the warning to all of our products. I'm sorry if that's confusing, but the number of warnings we must account for nowadays is very frustrating for us as well. Thanks so much for watching!
Omg this is what I've been looking for! I'm getting zenitsu!
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Thank you
Thank you so much for watching Alphonso!
2:42 Finally a bo-staff to "end him rightly".
Thank you so much for watching!
What if you want to pierce you opponent the stad will just schrink
Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
I remember Morgan Jones overpowering zombies with a stick in The Walking Dead.
Absolutely, Peter! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
i like the asmr of it collapsing
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
that looks what sara lance uses in legends of tomorrow
Yep! Quite a few of the different movie and television studios purchased these from me for their shows. I hope you are having an excellent week, my friend!
My only worry about using one of these is since it's collapsible, you lose all the potential jabs a normal bo staff can do because it'll collapse on itself when jabbing. It leaves you with only being able to strike
Hi! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
this has me tempted to by one for my car now@@Karatemart
It would look great as a springloaded Darth Maul lightsaber, probably not the only one who thinks it.
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Nice review, thanks! Maybe next time you can add more details like total length of the bo staff. I want to start practicing freestyle bo staff, is it good to use expandable bo staff? and how can I measure a proper length for me? thanks
Hi Mikael! I invented the collapsible Bo staff as an easy way to transport your staff to and from the dojo. It’s awesome, but when learning, I’d start with wood so that you can get the general balance and technique down. We have the collapsible Bo staffs available in many different styles and sizes on KarateMart.com and the size you choose depends on the style of martial art you are studying and your instructor. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to call us anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
Ive been looking for a new bo staff and since its a 2 piece i think imma enjoy it
They are pretty awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
Man this is awesome‼️
Thank you so much, Tyler! I really appreciate the support, my friend!
Would like to have a Jo staff length version
Personally I prefer a quarter staff. It has more striking options and is simpler to manufacture.
As in a full wood staff? I also prefer european staff, kij as we call it in polish. Because its just a big stick.
Issue is size, how about collapsing it in some way? Ive been wondering the best way to do it.
So my curiosity is that in a real life combat situation, can it poke well? It your collapsing it like a plastic lightsaber toy simply by pressing it towards the ground, would it do the same if say it was used in a jabbing motion. I get that some things are props and you have to understand the capacities of what you have, but in a real world situation if you have that and nothing else you’re expectations have to be on par. So take a move like a gut jab, would it be effective, or collapse on impact?
Hi Andrew! Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, it strikes really nice. But what about jabs Does it collapse when you poke somebody? Like, if you had a wooden bo?

Nice!
Thanks so much, Caden! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
I'd be more concerned about either end collapsing into the handle if being used to "punch" with the tip, rather than strike with it. Would like to have seen a demonstration of a punch with the tip.

It's nice to know when water Mellons take over the world, there is a weapon to splatter them

This is great for my vigilante needs.
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
It’s cool that you strength tested it, but how light weight is it? Is it a thick clunky piece of metal or is it thin and easy to use? Also does it come in different materials because it would be awesome to get one in graphite or carbon fibre.
Also do you ship to the UK. Asking for a friend.
Hi Jack! We manufacture a bunch of different versions made from different materials. We do ship internationally, but have to check the laws in a country before shipping anything there. Please feel free to call our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
My only concern is you wouldn’t be able to thrust it against opponents in a real life scenario because it would collapse/go in/close. Maybe have a lock mechanism that once opened up it wont close or collapse unless u unlock it. Besides swiping, thrusting is one of the most effective and used ways these weapons are used.
Hi! The collapsible Bo staff has the strength of a police baton, so it could be used for self-defense, but that’s not really what I invented it for. I just wanted a way to easily transport a staff too and from your martial arts school. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@KaratemartYes I understand, what I am saying is if the tip is tapped on hard enough while extended & sparring it would go back in and if a lock mechanism was there it would make it even better to prevent that so it closed ONLY when you want it to thats all. Maybe in a future version? Thanks.
2 pieace my fave gonna save up for it
Awesome! It is my favorite too!
My Blue One came today and I'm ready to start my Bōjutsu training
Very nice, Susan! I’m excited for you! Thanks so much for your support!
Well Thank You! I'll make you proud I promise @@Karatemart
This was in Warrior Nun!!! S1E4 fight with the guards.
Yeah, I saw that! We sell our weapons to a ton of TV and movie studios. I’m a big movie nerd, so it’s fun seeing our stuff in different movies and shows. I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
One inch banboo is considered equivalent to a forarm .
Thanks so much for watching, Michael! I really appreciate it!
I'm a little unclear on how this opens. Does this use inertia to open or inertia with spring assist? Is there a release button on it before it can be extended? Does this open with just a quick rotation? Thank you
Hi! Yes, it uses inertia to open, but stays closed nicely without a release button until you flick your wrist. Thanks so much for watching!
Bo Staff's make me think about robin from batman
Yep! I love that Robin uses a staff! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Got a question it’s me Mandy when will it become cheap I wanna buy it for my son Like under 30
If you use it for a thrust, will it collapse on impact? That would be a limiting factor
Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
How secure is the two piece when using it as a bo staff? Does the mechanism that holds the two together hold up when using the staff in a fast paced situation?
Excellent question! The connection is different depending on the model you choose, but they are both very secure. If you have any more questions about them, please feel free to call our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
if i pulled that out, i can imagine the opponent would laugh, until the whipping begins.
I agree Nate! When I created my first prototype of this 10 years ago, I never designed it to be an actual weapon. It was always a pain bringing my staff to and from the dojo and tournaments, so I just wanted to create an easier way to transport your Bo staff for martial arts training. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart i'm gonna pick one up, cause the Bo Staff is one of my best weapon forms. So just as an enthusiast it would be neat to try it out.
@@nategrey8880 that’s awesome Nate! I love the Bo staff too! I hope you have an excellent weekend!
That expandable Bo Staff looks really legit. I ordered a 26 inch baton for self defense beforehand. Would the expandable Bo Staff be a worthwhile self-defense item, and could it fit in a holster on a belt? Great demonstration!!
EDIT: Nvm, I just saw the Watermelon tidbit😂
Would the collapsible bo staff be able to fit in a holster on your hip?
Hi Hunter! The collapsible Bo staff has the strength of a police baton, so it could be used for self-defense, but that’s not really what I invented it for. I just wanted a way to easily transport a staff too and from your martial arts school. Most of our two piece versions can fit into side holsters, but you might want to call our customer service team just to make sure they can point you to one that does. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart Oh ok! That makes sense. No worries appreciate the response 😁
I would like to see a video on 3 sectional staff.
Hi Carl! I am definitely planning on doing a 3SS video at some point in the future. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi! Do you prefer the two-piece or standard version?
I'm kinda leaning towards buying the standard version because it seems more sturdy as one piece. Or am I wrong?
They both have their advantages, so I like certain things about each of them. But, I do prefer the one piece version because it is a little more sturdy. If you have more questions about either of them, please call our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for your support!
Yeah but when you unscrew the bottom pieces to join the two pieces together, do the expanding pieces fall out the bottom?
That’s a great question! They definitely don’t do that on the ones we manufacture here in the US, but I’m not remember how they work on the ones made overseas. Thanks so much for watching!
If you colored the expandable sides red and added LEDs it would look like Darth Maul’s light saber
That’s true! That would be cool. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Aahh yes Tim drake Robin's weapon 🙌👏
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

Are these efficient for a poke strike? I'm afraid it might collapse back in when I do a poke strike.
Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart oh that makes sense. Thank you!
My man became robin
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I would buy it. Does it have some sort of locking mechanism so that you can use the staff to to thrust or poke at an object as opposed to stiking? It looks like it would retract if you tried to jam the butt of it into an object.

This combination of two batons into a bo staff resembles the jungle bo weapon of jungle fury yellow ranger of power rangers jungle fury series as she turns the jungle tongfas into a pair of batons and combine into a single bo staff
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
He must be the real life green ranger
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
About time they made one.
Thanks so much for watching Joseph! I made the prototype for this collapsible Bo staff around 9 or 10 years ago and have been improving it ever since. Nowadays, there are a lot of knockoffs. I hope you have a great weekend!
I love this weapon 01:42 and my SPECIAL REQUEST: could a end-cap be made to be integrated with a fight security feature of Wrist straps?
If a mini-Velcro with a ‘Double up’ type of HIGHLY Secure straps to enable ability to integrate a wrist strap security.
This way no one cap remove them unless I was to release straps... causing a 1/2 staff = individual baton can feel like an extensions of my arms. Plus very difficult to disarm me once wristbands are securely engaged and secure.
Any option to secure staff to avoid anyone able to disarm me/user of assembled staff or otherwise individual batons ?
Hi David! Yeah, that would be a cool addition! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
My favorite weapon that I've ever purchased

@@juliusirving463 nice! It’s a tough weapon to learn, but so impressive when you get good at it.
@@juliusirving463 same make sure u say get over here when u master it
i cannot find the one mentioned at 1:37 (the particular one i want) on your guys' website. can you provide a link to it or is it no longer available?
Hi! Here is a link to that item: www.karatemart.com/2-piece-collapsible-bo-staff
Thanks so much for watching!
I reading Homer's Epic Helen of Troy a the Trojan wars, In illustration shows a hoplite Greek warrior carrying a staff w/ two bladed xiphos (straight sword) from end to end . Did they really exist?
Honestly, I’m not sure. Maybe someone reading the comments can help us out with an answer. Thanks so much for watching, Roberto! I appreciate it!
very cool weapon! practical design. but too bad you can't use that to jab (it would collapse back) which would've been very useful for a Bo Staff
Thank you! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. Thanks so much for watching!
So when I train for self defense with a bow staff I really like how quick it can go together but I have my first hit as a jab the the solar plexus and need to know if it with collapse during the jab

Time to become nightwing
Absolutely, Miguel! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Hey i want to but the 2 peice collapsible bo staff that turned into 2 batons and before i buy i was wondering how strong is the quick connector does it twist and lock or is it just friction that keeps it together also beacuse when I want to hit somthing with the staff i dont want it to disconnect
Hi! We have some different versions available, so it depends which one you are looking at. Please call our customer service team at 1800-977-6928 for any questions you have before ordering. Thank you so much!
I need this for when I'm involved in a road rage accident, I'd rather cops search my car and find that then a knife or gun
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
How does this work with a thrust to the center from the heel of the staff? Can you srike without it collapsing?
Hi Stephen! Great question! When you open it correctly, it actually takes a lot of force on a solid surface like concrete to close the ends, so thrusts against a softer surface like a body are possible. I do test thrust out in other videos, so you can see how well it works. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart perhaps you can provide a link to those other videos, so I can see how it does?
@@stephenterry8451 I would if I remembered which ones they were in, but I release these videos every week, so they all kinda flow together. Sorry about that.
I'm looking at the way you collapse it against the floor, and I wonder: If I jab one of its ends directly against a target (let's say their breastplate) would the weapon telescope in on me?

I require a cane to walk but I've often wondered if there is an expandable version of the cane into a Bo staff
I would like to have one with a shepherd's hook on one end and have it expand from are you aware of any such device?
Hi Robert, there are a number of twist lock canes that expand, but I’ve never seen a friction lock. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
