Hahaha!Not sure what this guy was thinking about, but those jabs with the broom were spot on. That thief was lucky the broom head was still on.

I bought my crook cane from this place. They have bo staff. I have NO IDEA whether it is good or not. I can only say the 4 canes I bought, the grain is quite straight, they actually said they choose the grain to make the cane also. I wack each cane for a few minutes on my heavy bag and they survived.I find that many of the so-called quality sticks at martial arts stores are rather lacking... They're mass produced, with more of an eye towards appearance than function. Many have poor grain... and you have to pay for the pretty stain they put on it. A closet pole is often cheaper to learn the motions on, and often much more convenient to purchase and pick a decent one.
If you train with a copper pipe and filled sand weight inside, the pole training can make you strong.Get stronger. It's as simple as that.
I was going to write answer each thing you brought up. But instead I'm going to give you something to think about.Actually I never learn short short staff, but lately I actually came up very similar idea like this from remembering in the movie.
I am right handed, so left hand at the end of the cane. The cane is too short to strike like in the videos, but I actually use the crook end and PUNCH out like jab or cross punching. I keep my hands close to 4" apart to get better control(cane is too short for any wider grip). I practice very close to in the videos. One thing I have to try is from the first video to step aside to strike.
One thing, The cane should NOT be too heavy. If you hit like in the videos, you can use a lot heavier stick/cane because the target stop the cane. You can recover fast. It's when you MISS, it would be very slow to stop the cane and pull back. I experiment a lot. People should try themselves to swing and miss, see how much the stick pull you.
I use a deflated speed bag, putting 4lbs of soft weight in it and hit with the cane. It moves reasonable fast. I aim at the very bottom so I miss a lot and swing empty. I concentrate on how fast I can recover.
One even more important thing. If you don't get use to missing, when you miss where you expect to hit, there is a chance the cane will fly off your hand particular it's too heavy.
Don't just pick the weight for hitting the bag, pick for miss, recovery time and NOT losing the stick.
I don't think I am weak(not strong either), wearing 75lbs weight jacket to do 25 pushups with feet up 2ft high. Curl 40lbs dumbbells. 20oz cane that is 33" long is the MAX I am comfortable. That's already a huge improvement from last year through better use of body motion. It's the recovery and not losing the stick that really matters.
Just swinging in air DO NOT COUNT. You don't expect to hit anything, so you are prepared. Trouble comes when you expect to hit but miss.
I wish I could afford a copper pipe these days lolIf you train with a copper pipe and filled sand weight inside, the pole training can make you strong.

Well, educate me how do you swing a heavy stick and recover fast.I was going to write answer each thing you brought up. But instead I'm going to give you something to think about.
Why do people who know how to swing with proper technique don't have the same issues that you have?
Proper body mechanics and stances. Something you may actually have to be taught properly and corrected on in person.Well, educate me how do you swing a heavy stick and recover fast.
I know about swinging in circle like from one shoulder to the other to complete a swing type of basic stuffs. I find a lot of the stick technique are for open space with nothing in the path of swing. This is not real world.Proper body mechanics and stances. Something you may actually have to be taught properly and corrected on in person.
I don't mind teaching you if you are serious about learning. It's not a one step process, there are drills you'll need to do to help build up your strength and get the right technique down. None of it's difficult. It's like everything else practice, practice practice. Technique is going to play a big role as well. All you need is something as long as a broom stick to swing. It's easier to learn big movements first then shrink the same movement down as needed.Well, educate me how do you swing a heavy stick and recover fast.

"You want to learn how to swing in more confined space" But I don't think it's that being of a deal since most businesses have more than enough space to swing and throw stuff. I would be more worried about people picking up a chair and trying to hit me with the chair. If furniture is around then someone will probably throw it at you. This lady threw the chair about 6 feet and almost hit the person on the left. He's wearing a dark shirt and white pants. It was an impressive throw as I thought that chair would have been heavier.I would really like to know how to swing in more confined space with a heavy cane or stick. Like in real life situation where you have furniture, people in the way, that you cannot complete a circle of swing.
I could give you mine. I live in a trailer, and if I use my Jo in self defense it will most likely be there. i am drilling the 20 Suburi movements, and find that I cannot swing overhand, but have to use slow, purposeful movements to avoid hitting the ceiling or the fan."You want to learn how to swing in more confined space" But I don't think it's that being of a deal since most businesses have more than enough space to swing and throw stuff.

I don't know what type of environment you are in where it's that small, where there's no room to swing a cane. Most businesses have high ceilings to that makes vertical strikes possible.
Give me an example of a close space that you think you may find yourself in.
In your case if you think you are going use it there, then your best option will be jabs / stab with the Jo and fighting with the Jo with your hands in this position on the Jo. Those are you only option for confined spaces like that. Depending on how large your trailer is, you may have more room, but I'm assuming the worse case scenario in terms of size. Keep in mind, that this isn't a lesson. It's just some insight on what you may be dealing with in such a small space.I could give you mine. I live in a trailer, and if I use my Jo in self defense it will most likely be there.
When you hold your staff like this, you can use both ends to attack. This is why a staff is also called "2 heads snake".there are drills you'll need to do to help build up your strength and get the right technique down.
I agree with you that is a good combo to train. It's important to know what makes the strikes long and what makes the strikes short.can be a good 4 moves combo drill. Move 1,2,3 are short distance attacks (require less space).
You must have a library of videos
