I was just wondering if anyone knew of any resources that could help with my Bo Staff training at home? For instance any patterns or forms, instructional books?
Don't forget ceiling tiles.Perhaps some wall filler, paint and brushes too?

There are katas for the Bo, which ones would be most beneficial to you would depend on the style you are studying.

On a serious note, have you had any training with a staff before? If you haven't I'd suggest finding someone competent to give you an introduction to basic handling before you train yourself. My reason for this is that training on your own with no foundation will likely result in ingraining bad habits that will be hard to un-learn. Once you have a few basics, extending that on your own will be more beneficial.I was just wondering if anyone knew of any resources that could help with my Bo Staff training at home?

Bo is a Japanese term for a staff, traditionally 1.8m(71 inches) long. A staff is usually an English term for a weapon, traditionally somewhere between 6 an 9 feet long. In most people's minds the terms are interchangeable. A bo staff is redundant.Curious, what is the difference in a 'bo', a 'staff', and a 'bo staff'?
My understanding is that a bo is a staff and a staff is a bo so a bo staff would be a bo bo or a staff staff.
For me, it's lamps.

Yes, I realize that. Was my way of being informative with a question and the answer to show they are the same and that using bo staff is as you stated, redundant.Bo is a Japanese term for a staff, traditionally 1.8m(71 inches) long.

You are just a fast lady.I said it first!
You are just a fast lady.
I always did like fast women!
Unless your training in a system with multiple staff lengths, and you speak English or another non japanese language.
While Bo is a proper noun in Japanese,
It would be correct to use it as an adjective in this case:
ad·jec·tive
ˈajəktiv/
noun
GRAMMAR
plural noun: adjectives
- a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it.
An example:
Teacher: everyone go get a staff and line up.
A student asks: Teacher, long ones or short ones?
Vs
Teacher: Everyone go swap out your Bo Staffs (staves) for a Jo staff. Tonight we are learning a new form.[/Quote
[/QUOTE]For your example to work, the students would have to know the difference in length between a Bo and a Jo(or a Hanbo), otherwise the adjective is irrelevant. AND, if they know what a Bo is, the term Bo staff is redundant.
