1. This is a nice, six-foot hardwood bo. It is appropriate for traditional martial arts practice and a good weight. I have not had any problems with it.



2. I ordered this product for use in an English quarterstaff class. Although it's a little short for my ideal quarterstaff length (7' would be better), it's otherwise pretty close to perfect. It has a wider diameter than the rattan bo staves that some of my fellow classmates have, which makes it both more historically accurate and more comfortable to hold. It's extremely sturdy, and the red oak has plenty of weight and momentum. The finish is smooth enough that I don't worry about splinters during grip-sliding exercises, and only has a couple of small flaws. It's only been heavily used in one class so far, so I can't testify to how much punishment it will take in the long term.
   
   If this staff has a flaw, it's that it's *too* nice; this thing is a weapon, and shouldn't be mistaken for anything else. It's a joy to use, but practice with care.



3. This is a fine, very sturdy oak bo. The only caveat would be that the diameter of this bo makes it more suitable for larger hands. But otherwise, a great staff.

1. First rate product. Unusually hard wood (good for a fighting stick). Price was right. Delivery was prompt. All in all, a terrific product at a great price with good service!

4 comments about Hardwood Jo Staff - 50", 54", 60", or 72".

1. the Jo is a popular fighting weapon in the orient. It doubles as a fancy walking stick and can be displayed in a house as an artifact. Getting hit with this would probably be like getting hit with a brick because it is approximately an inch in diameter. this is a long weapon with some weight to it so it is best used for thrusting or using ones own motions against them. I had a friend who perhaps put it best when he said " I never thought paying 20 bucks for a stick could be such a good deal "



2. I was pleased with how promptly the jo arrived after I ordered it.
   The finish on the staff was not something I desired, plus it was a little rough, so I sanded the staff down and oiled it. It is heavier than the practice staffs at my dojo, and I enjoy that. When I brought in my staff everyone remarked what a great staff it was, where I bought it and how much it was. Best purchase I've made in a while, just needs some sanding.



3. Very lightweight, fragile, and poorly finished. Not sure what the "hardwood" actually is. It looks oak-like, but is far too lightweight for it's size. It came a bit rough and splintery and only got worse over time. The lacquer or whatever it is that they finished it with developed spiderweb cracks almost immediately and then began to flake off. I only used it for kata; didn't feel safe actually hitting anything with it let alone using it to defend against a weapon for tandem drills. After a few months of very little use, mostly sitting on the rack, it began to develop cracks. Perhaps it wasn't dried properly when they applied the finish? Regardless, the one I received (50" model) was cheap junk. You get what you pay for... Not only not recommended, but downright dangerous if you hit anything with it. Spend a little more to get better quality.



4. This was exactly what i expected and came in less that a week. Very happy.

1. sure I could have bought a solid red oak hand railing, but what fun would that be. The nice thing about the bo is that yes it is overall straight, but this one has a very subtle bend, it's pretty cool.
