Metal Bo Staff: Steel vs Aluminum
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- This week for Weapons Wednesday, I reviewed some of the metal bo staffs we sell on www.KarateMart.... A lot of our customers ask about our metal bo staves and the differences between a steel and an aluminum one. In this video, I go into details about the differences and show a strength test we did a few years back where really tested them out. I also show off our 3-piece aluminum escrima staff for people who have been curious about that weapon.
If you have any questions about the steel or aluminum bo staff, please leave them in the comments below.
Here are links to the items discussed in this video:

Thanks so much for watching!
That steel staff is WAY heavier than expected! I'll probably be picking up the aluminum one soon!
It is really heavy! Yeah, the aluminum is probably the better staff for most martial artists. Thanks so much for watching, Mack!
I really like the Steel one, it’s light weight and the grips are the best added touch. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks man! I always appreciate your kind comments! What is your name?
@@Karatemart My name is Jayden
@@NeaHaunts well, it’s very nice to meet you Jayden! I hope you have a great week!
@@Karatemart you too!!!
Those are all beautiful weapons Kyle! All three have been clearly thought out. The high strength aluminum I’m guessing is the 6013 alloy. I’ve used it before in weapons I’ve made and that stuff is incredible. If memory serves (and mine is up chits creak!) it has titanium in it and was designed for gears in aircraft. I’ve made kama blades with it - and man! it made for a real and functional weapon!
I know what it’s like to design and build weapons and that good feeling one gets so I know you guyz are having fun! Your obvious sense of pride is a clear indication of how much effort you put into these beautiful and functional weapons.
AND...The fight scene was awesome!!!
See you next week!!!
Thanks so much John! I love that you have a background in making martial arts weapons as well, so that you can appreciate the art. It’s funny you mention titanium because we just started working with Titanium about a month ago. It’s such an expensive metal though that I’m curious if our customers will see the value in it. Thanks again John and have a great week brother!
@@Karatemart you got it Kyle. I’m just glad I finally found you guyz! Where the heck u been all my life!! 😎
In the early 80’s I worked in a specialty machine shop and we made parts for navy subs and army tanks but also we made small run medical parts. One job we did was replacement hip parts and they were all made from titanium. I couldn’t believe how light it was! Machined okay with a nice surface finish. You guyz know what your doing but If you need any advice I’d be happy to help. Gimme an email address and I will contact you. And YES! Very expensive! I actually looked at some for a project I’m working on and decided against it so as to make this project affordable ....it really didn’t need titanium but would of been cool!
So...It depends on the thing you are planning to make. You could make a really good blade from it which means you don’t use a lot of material keeping price affordable. This kind of blade though would have to be thought about in a different way of course but definitely borders on the apocalypse!
hmmmm....that’s got me thinking now!!!
@@johnemmons9087 you’re awesome John! You have an amazing background. If you are ever in Phoenix, drop by.
I have a solid steel 6 ft bow. It’s heavy. Had to drop it several times I would lose control. If I didn’t let go the momentum is so strong you could strain your wrist easily. I am getting Popeyes forearms that’s for use.
Nice Steve! Yeah, I bet your forearms are getting huge!!
Sounds great for exercise.
@@vgman94 exactly!!!
@@Karatemart that's why I ordered one like that for fitness. Also it doubles as a deadly weapon
He goes better shape and much younger.
Yes maybe but you have a lot more
Knowledge now.
Thanks for sharing.
You’re so kind Kyle! Thank you so much my friend!
Any chance you guys @KarateMart could do one of these 72" bo staffs but in a SOLID STAINLESS STEEL? I realize it would cost substantially more but wouldn't rust and would be heavier and even stronger. I think it would be the ultimate bo staff and no one else is making them so you'd have the market on it.
Hi James! Great suggestion! I think a solid stainless steel bo staff would probably be too heavy, but the company who manufactures many of our weapons, Kombativ does manufacture a hollow stainless steel bo staff, but I believe it is special order only. Thanks so much for watching!
Aluminum seems better than wood in every way. Would you recommend 5 foot or 6 foot for someone who is 5'10? Or perhaps both? Its primarly for performance and self defence in real situations
That’s an excellent question! Most likely, you will want a 6 ft staff, but there are martial arts where a shorter staff would be more appropriate. If it’s just for you to learn, I’d go 6ft, but if you are using it in class, I’d ask your instructor. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Nice, I like the idea of having the bo staff in three sections but wonder the durability compare to the original aluminum bo staff
Hi Ian! It’s actually really durable. I have another video from about 5 years ago where we really tested its durability out. Thanks so much for watching!
How can I get a light weight aluminum bo staff?? They arnt available anywhere
We are currently in the process of manufacturing some of our inventory, so the competition aluminum staffs should be back in stock next week. Thanks so much for watching!
How much is the aluminum bo staff with attachment to extend 6feet. And make the staff black
Hi Najee! We never put prices on social media because they change over time. Please feel free to check the prices on KarateMart.com or contact our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Kyle I want to know about the bo staff there is so different foldable bo staff and foldable nut chunks can you explain more.
Hi Marina! Great question! If you watch the video I made a couple of weeks ago, I show off some of the different expandable bo staffs that we carry. Right now, we do have the converta chucks available, but don’t currently have any of the collapsible ones. They are kind of neat, but we haven’t had them for a while. Thanks so much for watching!
After watching this, I'll be getting the aluminum bo staff myself.
Awesome! I really love the aluminum bo staff. It’s definitely one of my favorites. Thanks so much for watching and for your support!
can you please make a video on the punisher stun baton or if have can you please tell me the name of the vid i have so many questions about it like if i can use it like a escrima stick
Great questions! I haven’t done a video on the punisher stun baton yet, but it is very similar to one of the other stun batons I look at in the stun gun video I did a few months ago. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t suggest using that one as an escrima. Thanks so much for watching!
Have u try out the 9 weapons in 1 staff then
I may do that at some point. Thanks so much for watching Dominick!
Ya
How heavy is the steel one?
Hi Jermaine! The weights of all of our staffs and their corresponding sizes is listed on www.KarateMart.com. Thanks so much for watching!
Could you make a review on the metallic dragon katana?
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate that. I may do one on the metallic dragon katana at some point, but I’ve got a bunch of other products I need to do first. That is a pretty cool sword, but there are others I like much better. If you ever need help picking out a good sword, please feel free to contact our customer service team. They love talking about weapons. Have a great weekend!
Super cool ! :D
Thanks Grant! I appreciate that!
That is so hard staff hits.
Steel bo staff vs sword
😭 Must resist I just took a look at your website and I must resist going back or I will be spending to much money.
delivery available in india
We do ship internationally, but we need to check the laws before shipping anything to your country. I can’t imagine bo staffs being illegal there, but because they are so bulky to ship, it may be really expensive. Please contact our customer service team at service@karatemart.com for more info. Thanks so much for watching!
🍿🍿🍿
Lol…awesome 😀
@@AP-ei3ol the customer service team will receive it, but you can ask them to show it to me. Thanks Andrew!
Where is your website link..I want one pitbulls keep trying to attack me
Hi Ken! All of the items in my videos are available at www.KarateMart.com. Thanks so much for watching!
I would put baseball bat grip in the middle... really contemplating on getting one
Hi David, we sell a version like that on Kombativ.com. Have an awesome weekend!
Why would I want to go back to a wooden BO Staff when the metal ones work better? Steel is stronger and more durable than wood.
Wooden staffs are lighter, so you can move them quicker in a tournament. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Regardless I Would Probably Steel Use The Steel One Lol Haha Nty On Using A Soda Can. If The Staff Weighs Under 10lbs I Am Good To Go.
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
