    As someone who's done some rudimentary bo staff training as part of my karate and kung fu training, it is so entertaining and enlightening to see the differences and similarities in staff use between east and west.
  • i noticed alot of people also utilize these same techniques in similarly sized weapons as well! personally ive found it AMAZING to practice these with my Dane Ax as the difference in weight from the head is negligible and it keeps the same relative "feel" :3
  • This whole vid is really informative. And alot of thought was definitely put into it too.👏👏👏👏 Thanks for uploading this.👍

    New videos, new weapons, new puffy pants... You sure are very active, lately. Not that I'll complain.

    The staff! It’s so good to see it featured.👏 Thank you for your uploads during these strange times; your channel has inspired me to return to practicing HEMA once again. Since recovering from muscle injury, it’s been a fantastic way to focus my fitness routines.

    I love how this is also excellent reference for gesture drawings thanks to the exhaustive inclusion of different angles and multiple cuts. Much obliged to your dedication!
  • damn.. this is very comprehensive staff fundamental! appreciate it very much! please keep on the good work!

    Can you demonstrate the jaegerstock (double headed spear, one on each end)? Johann Georg Pascha said in his manual that a master can hold of a group of attackers if he is on open ground. Please do a video on it.
  • I'm getting a quarter staff for Christmas this video helped me pick the right one and I'll be able to practice with it. Thank you for making this video 😁 ps. this video very much feels like a video game tutorial lol

    An excellent video for parsing the staff and the basics of mastering it. Thank you for your work.
  • @LeonM4c
    Thank for these insightful videos on the staff, I've been drilling with mine lately and found your videos have helped me with my technique and handling of the weapon.
  • @darrallc
    These are really great! I'm currently stuck in the countryside with a billhook and some poles, so using these vids to get some good drills in for quarterstave / halberd etc. Thanks so much!
