Bo Straight Red Oak Wood

Crafted from solid Asian red oak, this bo staff delivers a dense and durable feel ideal for conditioning and strength training. Heavier than rattan or tapered versions, it offers a perfectly straight shape for balanced control and consistent performance during spins, strikes, and blocks.

Bo Tapered Red Oak Wood

This variation features a traditional taper, slimming to ¾” ends for a more agile handling experience. The tapered shape enhances speed and maneuverability—perfect for forms, demonstrations, and flowing weapon techniques.

Bo Competition Red Oak Wood

Built for speed and performance, this competition-style staff includes a thin taper (down to ½”) at each end and a slightly thicker center for superior balance. Lightweight and quick, it’s a favorite among advanced practitioners looking for precision and flow in competition.

Bo Rattan Wood

Crafted from skinned rattan, this version is lightweight, flexible, and smooth to the touch—excellent for high-speed drills, light sparring, or beginner training. Its natural grain and slight flex make it ideal for extended practice sessions without fatigue.
