Foam Padded Practice Staff with Carry Bag, Bo Staff, Bo Staff for Martial Arts and Karate, Safe and Durable Staff

The media could not be loaded. This is awesome. Just getting back into all my old hobbies so I’m kind of rusty. It’s a great arm exercise in addition to martial arts. For anyone that wants learn a new skill I highly suggest getting one of these, it’s fun and can also be bada*s. There are a ton of YouTube videos to learn the basics. For reference I’m a 5’9 older woman, so to all my ladies out there, get your bo staff on!!!

Bought this for a ninja turtle costume and didn’t realize how much fun it would be. Great staff for practicing too. Love this thing

Just what we expected

I got two of these and one of them broke in half almost immediately. With very light sparring the staff bent in half and a couple rounds later in snapped in half without making contact with the other staff. I can’t recommend this product.

Got this today. My son has played with it for maybe 5 mins. Not sparring or anything just playing with it and the foam is already starting to rip!Also they sent an extended warranty sheet to scan to register your product but the page won’t even open! What’s the point of sending warranty info that isn’t even valid!! Very disappointed!

It's great for quick fast paced performances.

Look, if you're getting this because you wanted something that isn't wood but still be able to practice, it fits the bill. It won't feel the same, but it will do. If you got it for a relatively safe sparring bo, eh... Let's just say I wouldn't do that.I don't think it'll hold up because of either the foam will wear out quickly (becoming a potential eye hazard due to foam flakes) or the plastic interior will snap if hitting with decent power (which may be why you'd want a *padded* bo in the first place). This seems best suited for practicing forms and for learning technique without worry about accidentally hurting yourself or partners on with an errant move.I do worry how long the foam will hold up from natural friction on the hands, though. I guess you would tape it when that starts happening.But if you're still with getting it at this point, the question then becomes, at ~$40-50 range, are you able to find better options?

Its exactly as described and very sturdy. Perfect for what was needed.
