I was ignoring one fellow.
but then his basement was filled in, and all problems got solved.

Why has it taken me so long to watch The Preacher. Holy cow.

Thats ok.....I got an email a while back that I had a Family Member in Nigeria pass away and if I just send a processing fee they can send me my multi-million dollar inheritance.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Go for it..... you can't doubt an unsolicited e-mail from a family member in Nigeria

I don't know that story, KS (and it's probably not necessary that I know it), but I applaud your strength in not letting that reaction end your class. That is, indeed, a success.

yeah, bit of a long story - which I am will to share at your request - but.. thank you!

Just curious....What weapon do you run?

My son runs Bo and he is learning Kamas. He also knows Nunchaku but likes the Bo and Kamas better.

Yesterday, I used my bo staff - but also train with nunchaku
and am currently learning a sword form.. kind of experimenting
with sai, but just for fun

 

[Xue Sheng]

Well, to the basement to train

The word "bo" means staff. So you used your staff staff?

 

[Xue Sheng]

Well, alone in the house again.....surprisingly.... with nothing to do...so.... back to the basement...for some more xingy and taiji and then I think I'll make myself something to eat.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

The word "bo" means staff. So you used your staff staff?

I tend to say "bo staff" a lot, myself, when I can't point at the weapon in question, because:

• "Bo" sounds like "beau" which is still sometimes heard in the Southern US as a term for "boyfriend", so I have to be careful what I communicate when I say, "I was practicing with my bo."
• "Staff" is still vague - which staff? And "I was working with my long staff" is worse that the first option.

 

[Steve]

I say bo bo. Is that wrong?

Edit: Its a bonus that the term is mildly inappropriate in at least a few Asian languages.
