Answer 1

youre asking me

Answer 2

Kristie,

find a teacher.

I could explain the physical dynamics verbally all day long....but it's still not going to do you any good.

You'll need to talk to an instructor who's affluent in Bojutsu or Chinese staff techniques....different arts teach the dynamics and movements differently...so ask multiple different people what they use.

That's the reason my staffwork is so damned good....I've learned Chinese, Japanese, and Western staff-fighting methods....and tied them together.

spining a staff isnt the first thing u want to learn if ur learning to use a staff and it is sorta pointless. but it is intimidating and its just sorta cool if u can do it. wat i do is i spin it around my whole hand. practice this with a broom stick or something. if u hold ur right hand in front of u spin it counter clok wise around ur whole hand. and then u learn to do mulitple spins from there. there are other methods but this is the easiest i know of

Answer 4

I wouldnt bother. Thats an inefficient way to use that weapon. Stab strikes, swing strikes, hi gaurds and low gaurds and more useful. Try searching "Jo kata" in yahoo videos and practice that.

They key to any technique usign a staff is simple, contact, balance, levarage. All are based one what your doing so think about it. Where do you want to grab, about half way down. you want to have you hands close but not to close. This in the same aspect means you must be strong enought to balance the ends of the stick. So amke sure your staff weighs to your body size. I would have to use a 15-30 pound stick in order for me not to over swing it. Over swinging is bad and leads to your tools and techniques beign improper. As for leverage its almost the same as contact but you want your body to be at levrage. so when you start learnign thise do it slowly. As with any martial arts technique you must remember muscle memory. The slower and better form you learn the faster you can do it with form. You must remember technique ensues power.

To do this properly you must get in a horse stance. back 90 degrees to the ground and legs bent as such to compensate for your back. here is where size of your staff matters, if its to long you can't compensate and chances are if its to long tis to heavy, cut it down and tape teh edges. take a little from both sides for good measure. than put your hands in the same position from the middle and from end to end, draw lines on your stick to see how its moving within your hands. now spin it slowly. Get used to the feeling and compensation slowly see what your doing and your body will learn to dit properly. The reason i'm telling you to learn it from this stance is this is known as root stance for any staff art be it chinese or japanese or any martial art. once you get profiecient at doing it which should take you 2 weeks if your doign 2 hours a night of training.

Of which you would want to do stretching and push ups. stretchign being revolving your arms and arm tensions. such as placing your hand on your shoulder bladed and pulling your elbow back. not to say your legs arn't importants your legs mean jsut as much because form is important in fact ide ratehr over practice form than than over train. overtrainings bad. I'm bad for sayign this as i do it constantly.

your going to want to find out which, stance is yours it does not matter what hand you write with because soem people are left dominant and right. Your going to want to learn every technique possible in both left and right. Depending on which style your learning you want to either havea pheonix stance which is your leg strtched out and the stick is on the same line as your leg. or for bojitsu you hold the stick firmly with both hands at one end but placed far enough taht your stick is about 1-2 inchwes from the ground.

Your talking about bow staff jujitsu. Or bojitsu as one of the kindly practitioners previously stated. som kung fu schools teach bow staff arts aminly ones that teach pheonix stance as i stated above. good luck i don't want to type much more its always better if you get a personal instructor.
