- Learn the basic Bo strikes from Sensei Michael. This is part 4 of 6 in the Complete Beginner's Guide. To learn about the Ultimate Bo Home Study Course (you can earn a black belt in bo!) - www.blackbeltat...
I've been wanting to get into martial Arts that's forgiving of my asthma. This looks about right. Once I learn this, I'll be unstoppable with a broom. Dust won't know what hit it.
lol
Another one bites the dust
When you be sweeping and get distracted
Wow. Great video, not a cheesy staff spinner.
staff spinning is really cool for the first few days until you realize it does absolutely nothing
"Notice what happens here." The legendary quote that every good teacher uses.
I recently bought a bo staff in place of a quarterstaff that i would usually use. I like to learn lots of different ways how to beat people with sticks lying around. In self defense, of course.
Far from me to question an age old martial art but the raising the knee before a strike seems wrong to me, its choreographing that you are going to attack and gives an opponent more time to react, sure you get more power but speed is more important in my opinion
Razzerfly Excellent point. Actually, in combat/sparring/realistic bojutsu you do not raise the knee before striking. This is something you will only find in the demonstration kata of this style. Just like you will find certain elements in kata within traditional karate that include control and stopping points, in contrast to the constant fluidity and full commitment of combat.
+Razzerfly I've done forms for years and I thought the same
Plus you probably wouldn't wanna kill or injure your opponent too badly if something ever happens
That is correct for demonstration in a dojo, in a street fight, the bo must come from any position to do the front strike
Razzerfly What ive learned is that this is the "art" part of martial art. In a direct fight, of course not. Its ridiculous, reduces balance and gives opponents time to react.
love you so much where I'm from I don't have this sport
but it has been my dream to do this so I watch all your bids so I can practice every day thx so much
Yahazaki _ me toooooo
Gotta give props you are one badass instructor I swear I've seen soooo many videos and they're confusing my dad was teaching my brother and I when we were kids but as children we got bored now that I am older and can retain stuff much faster I regret not practicing every day with him I did but I was a teen . Thank you
Them noises tho
Sunfox HISSSSS
@@colemattia6459 It doesn't have to be a hiss, but letting out air during activity is important in martial arts. Same with boxing and work outs.
Sunfox boi That’s the sound of the release of his breathing, which makes the strike more precise and stronger than normal. That’s why breathing techniques are ridiculously useful in martial arts when you reach a certain mastery. It’s way easier to move and it improves your strength, speed, reflexes, and many more muscle attributes. It’s even possible to become superhuman without the use of Chi or Qi. Unless the breathing technique is trained to a ridiculous level such as being able to breath consciously while sleeping.
I done martial arts for 5 years the hiss is to create more strength on strikes and weirdly it helps while being hit in stomach and chest

The views on this video compared to the other five in the playlist show the algorithms or peoples' general interest and also their level of discipline/commitment to learning properly.
I. Overhead front strike
2. 4 point strike
3. Overhead rib strike
4. Front thrust
5. Uppercut
thanks u so much sensei . I do wtf style tkd and its mostly competition style and sparring without any traditional things except poomsae . i so badly wanted to learn the bo staff .tysm
Neat video Sensei Michael. It appears the small percentage of martial artists that commented didn't notice you wear your gi/do bok incorrectly. It should always be worn left lapel over right. I'm shure a 2nd Dan Sensei knows this and was just in a hurry to shoot the video & dressed quickly. Professional image should always reinforce professional technique. Most martial artists tie their belts incorrectly too. Very nice traditional bo techniques sir. Ours are Kobujitsu based & designed more for modern combat applications. What you're doing looks well suited for competition & kata.
What are modern combat applications of the Bo?
Tbh, if u have an expandable bo staff and just whip it out on the guy trying to mug u, staff spins can be very efficient at intimidating ur mugger since they think they’re bout to get severely bonkd in the head
Excellent instruction. Shows slow too so I know how to hold Bo and move. Thanks !!
My favorite weapon is bo staff because i feel good when i use it
ok...
Me too
I've been training mma for 10 years, I realized that learning how fight with weapons is critical for some street fights, you just never know, but are these techniques really effective in real life?
I don’t know about these techniques in particular but I can tell you that just because it’s a stick does not make it a weapon you would want to be hit with. The staff is the most underestimated weapon in existence imo.
Fascinating, and so simple when explained this way.
Quite fabulous my dear friend,big thumbs up.Love,peace,harmony,joy & light...Reeka.
Pretty awesome, I will watch all of your videos based off the Bo staff skills and try to master them, free lessons can be better than payed xD
Im a staff fighter and im scheduled to fight next week . Thought id use this
I bet you a lot more people are checking this out now that one of the main chrectors on the walking dead uses a staff
That's why I'm here- Morgan's a badass! Am not a sheep though, have done other non-staff martial arts for a few years..... He just made me want to add this style to my current repertoire.;)
And the main character of the new Star Wars
AAHAHAHAHA HOW DO YOU KNOW
Im here because of black canary
Same here :)
Noice!
I have been doing a bit of staff training for fun,just practicing strikes and spins.
Awesome video! This video gives confidence!
Hodges Sensei there are a few instructors i subscribe to, you are one of them i use your concept videos for my lessons in the rokushaku bo i was wondering if you have books or things out there and thank you so much for what you are doing i have been following your videos for 6 months now
H Sir, I am glad I have been of some help. If you really want to dive in, I have a full DVD set (Ultimate Bo), and an online course with a huge library of material and classes: globalmartialarts.university/course/UltimateBo - thanks for following my work and have fun with the bo!
Awesome vid, hopefully ill get it right
Wow !!!! Great upload !
Have a Good day
－－－ Greetings from Japan
This was a good video. Thanks for making this.
Where is the slow motion on this thing? For slow learning
Thank you so much for the video. Mind me asking, what style of Martial Arts do you study? I'm a Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do stylist. What about you?
Glad you liked it. I came up through a shotokan based system with some Korean influence (somewhat like Tang Soo Do). I now do pure shotokan, and also krav maga as my non-traditional system.
Thank you very much for this tutorial!
You're welcome, thank you for watching.
Remember doing bo staff katas very useful techniques
Hi. Can you show some exercises for getting used to using the bo? I can't afford classes, and I know nothing about the use of this weapon. Just want to get used to using it well before learning strikes. Thank you🙏
I recommend that you do all of the Ultimate Bo Classes on our channel, those will be great for you!
Knee comes up parallel to the ground
General question.
Why do martial arts teachers always make *those* sounds when performing a move?
Great video.
Sensei Michael Hodge:
The question that I want to ask is how does a person maintain control of the Bo at contact? It looks to me as though you do not have a very strong grasp of the Bo. Would not the Bo fly out of the hand when it made contact with an object?
That's a very inquisitive question. So, in practice, I tend to keep my hands relaxed (but still gripping the staff well enough) throughout the entire motion, and do not tense up with all of my strength until the last moment before impact. This is a common practice in most martial arts, so that your body can stay loose and fluid, while not expending too much additional energy between impacts. When you do strike, you absolutely need to maintain a strong hold on the staff. Not only are you gripping it, but we are often doing a strong pushing/pulling motion (the lead arm is pushing the rear arm is pulling away at the same time), the wrist muscles and forearm are contracted. There is also a wringing/added torque twist that we add at the end of some strikes that increase the impact's power, while maintaining a grip. Watch some of my newer classes and lessons, in which I more clearly demonstrate these points.
That sounds like that would be very difficult to do to be able to grip the Bo at the moment of impact.
The only way you know is by trying. Striking a very strong staff into a tough tree trunk is a way to test this out. It is not unlike being able to hold onto a baseball bat when you hit something hard or swing into a ball, you can still maintain a grip. Of course, slicing through with a bladed weapon has less kick-back, since you go through, rather than just impact the target.
O.K, I'll do that, thank you very much.
Thanks man
When you do your left side can you choose another angle
Shotokan karate kenpo karate boxing judo self defence you are the best
It´s time to make my own Duel of Fates
Hi. I'm keen to learn the bo staff. I'm using a mop handle right now. Is this okay for getting the right balance? Thanks. Marc. PS - love the videos :)
Hi Marc, It could be. Most mop handles, if you remove the metal or plastic components are fully balanced (weighted equilibrium) across the cylindrical dowel. They are pretty lightweight, but a well made wooden mop handle can work well for now. Have fun!
Pretty neat, man.
what is the purposeof bringing your knee up while strike the staff. please give practical technique in using the staff with both feet always on the ground. the staff is too long, even, for you. I thought that the lenght of the stadd is as tall as the holder- from foot to the top of the head
Please watch all of my new Ultimate Bo Classes to learn more about our techniques. Thanks!
Could you use the japanese name from each technics, please? It would help a lot to learn these technics..
Awesome.Savage 💪
Amazing!
Sound effects not included
Wow this was 7 years ago and i found this
Siga con mas proo, q aquí le sigo en sus practicas m gusta e abanzado algo
Do not bring the staff into the armpit with most strikes. A person who uses the staff for kata only will do this. The person who has learned some sparring will not. If you bring the staff into the armpit, then you need to lift the elbow and arm to strike outward. Let the staff hit the outside of the mid-bicep for the former reason and, also, to block the arm AND, finally, because physics states you will be hitting yourself at the same speed as your opponent when holding the staff at the thirds.
Appreciate it.
but what if I'm not good at saying "hasssss" ?
jk. nice vid
How long is the staff you are using?
What style of bo fighting is this? Or is there only one style?
DONATELLO!!!!
Gabriel Roxbury same
I can do all the strikes in this video except the front thrust still learning that . But when I do the 4 point strike for example I don't really twist my hands at all . I slide my hand down the bo but I don't twist my front hand. Do you have to twist your hands
You don't really twist your hands on the 4 point strike. You do, however, add some wrist twist to give more torque at the end of the overhead front strike. For the 4 point strike you are just pushing and pulling at the same time. You push the bottom part of the staff out, as you pull the front hand closer to your body. It is a push and pull combination movement.
0:13, 2:08, 3:24, 4:12, 5:15
If you have the camera man come behind you!! Because I'm slow lol seeing from being gives a better perspective.
Darth Maul workout just started! ;)
so ...in 4 point strike 2 and 4 positions are similar right?
Yes, they are similar. Strike 1 is upward, 2 is downward, 3 is to the side, 4 is to the other side.
My mom watching me do this with a broom in the living room 👁️👄👁️
Epic vid bro but you didn't explain the second move in enough detail
Ho, it's been years since then!
Honestly tryna picture Sara lance in all her glory
I don’t have. A staff so I’m using finished toilet paper rolls stuck together oh and I have a question WHO THE HELL HAS A STAFF
Good
Not me drawing the moves with sticks figures to better understand the how to hold and move the bo 👀
i use a sweeper stick is it ok?
That is fine.
Lmao was using that too
Do you guys have a sparring video with the staff? And more techniues on stuff like this?
Not on youtube, but in our full Ultimate Bo Course, there are a bunch of combat bo techniques and sparring videos. We will add some new videos in this area to youtube later on. Thank for watching!
Do you need to say AAADDDCCCCCCCEEEEE!!!!
Im here because of Morgan Jones from Fear
Show me your ways
Girls only like guys who have good skills 😂
Napoleon dynamite
Iam getting more and more depressed...
__ryu ok lol
You want to impress a femme with how you handle your staff on your own?
@@KaptainCanuck I want to never be reminded that a feminist exists.
A toothpick is not a bo. No offence intended.
I cannot fathom where you took math but doubling the acceleration does not quadruple the force. As a note also, joong bong (or bo in Okinawan (Japanese did not use weapons)) are not tapered to, as you say, make it more powerful., nor overly light (unless you think oak and such are light woods) traditionally. Also, weight is only a word to describe the application of force downward. Final note: force is defined as acceleration over distance. This is proved by Bruce Lee, in particular.
If force=ma, the the lightness, of the bo, applies a great amount of power(even though it is more likely to break). These kinds of thin bo, with tapered ends are also preferred for demonstration purposes, because they are easily handled, and fast, allowing for much crisper, and showier movement. Since this is show, it only makes sense to choose such a staff. (though I agree, in actual combat, such a fragile bo does seem the poorer choice when compared to something more substantial.)
Nicholas Musser
It is interesting to note that after I point to the physics flaw on quadrupled power that you have edited the comment to remove it.
These seem to be too telegraphing. In theory I'd say, most of these might be really uneffective in combat.
Opie? Opie Taylor, is that you?
Do you ever do live sparring in this martial art?
Actually we do. One thing that makes Ultimate Bo unique is that it is a combination of freestyle bo (techniques, katas) and sparring bo (live combat related scenarios and point fighting). So, we practice the combat side and do point sparring tournament style. We may add some new videos soon detailed the combat and sparring side.
You can often with a padded bo
nice way to injure the knee :P
I don't understand why you make this ugly frown at the end of each strike.
To me the bo staff doesnt really seem that effective
APZX GAMING lets see if you say that again when someone hits you with it
was good until you said "for a more dramatic effect" before you said "increases power"
nah still good, thanks soz 4 hatin
Hissing amused me
Thanks! It is a part of my comedy act.
Dude..............
im not from walking dead, im here from dagorhir
I read, "Ultimate Bro". lol
LOL. I will attempt to be an Ultimate Bro from now on.
NUBUSHI mains unit
Shaolin mains unit actually
is it korean??? i noticed the korean flag and the similarities as of the belts with taekwondo
In this video, I am teaching a style of staff that is rooted in Japanese bojutsu, but with obvious modern and American influence. I do have a black belt in a style of karate, that includes Korean influence, hence the belt display. If you watch my newest bo videos, you will see that I have started to now teach a much more traditional Japanese style, and with more emphasis on realistic combat bo.
Just wacked my self in the head i can see 2 cats i think my mom got another because i only had 1 cat but they look very similar also have an egg shaped bump on my head weird
I am the only one who came here for The Walking Dead?

Why do you keep saying ass? Very amusing. Great tutorials thou. I don't say ass I say Hi Yahhhhh. Lol
I say BITCH
This makes no sense.
I'm 8 years old and I can do a masters bostaff skills no kidding I'm using my dads account
Just curious, what type of martial arts is this from?
This is from Ultimate Bo (American Style Bojutsu). It is rooted in Japanese Bojutsu with some other influences from various staff forms from around the world (Chinese/English Quarter Staff/Modern American approach).
