what style of karate is fighting with a bo staff im trying to learn?

Answer 1

escrima ... kali, arnis

Answer 2

most if not all forms of karate have weapons such as bo.
A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's.
The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can't find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.

Answer 3

most any style of martial art will have bo staff in it

however, if you seek to learn only the way of the staff then shaolin kung foo would work well

Also there are many bo staff training videos out there, and if you don't know of any schools near you, use one of those

Answer 4

Bojutsu is a japanese martial arts using a bo staff. Jogo do Pau is a portuguese form of stick fighting. Few times in capoeira their is stick fighting. Escrima is filipino that emphasize stick and sword fighting. Higher rankings of krav maga show you how to use anything as a weapon including blunt stick like weapons. A school that is more tradional might teach it when yo progress through rankings such as Kuk Sool, TKD, Kungfu/Wushu, Hapkido etc..

Are you learning for selfdefense purposes or just for fun. That will make a big difference in your training

Heck if you are just doing it to look cool you can just take up baton twirling in a marching band. lol

Answer 5

Depends on the instructor and style. Kung Fu, Aikido, jujitsu and Kenpo will teach you bo staff fighting

Answer 6

Hmm Shaolin Kung Fu (which is my style) uses Bo Staffs

Answer 7

The staff is also a Tai Chi weapon.
