Maybe use the fallen tree for a new staff seems pretty durable.
-
Ash is a very hard and strong wood. That's why baseball bats are made of ash. The 1st bo was either already broken or the grain was poorly chosen
-
Ash staff was already broken in some places anyway, look under his left hand while he uses it
-
Thanks for making that test. We could find out the durability of those staffs
-
Bruh the first one already had a crack on it.
-
Nice, thank you!
-
Polypropylen would be interesting ,too
-
I’m sorry but that ash was some bs. I’m a carpenter and there’s no way a well made ash staff with grain running end to end would perform like that. Here in Germany the police batons are still made of ash to this day. That thing snapped like it was rotten...
-
Love how he flips the ash staff to hold the part thats already split clean in half to hit the part thats slightly less cracked already lol
-
Next one i suggest.....1 1/4" wooden dowells! Hickory, pine, maple whatever, id be curious to see different staffs of the same construction but different materials. Id also like to see a flex test! Come on its been three years lol
-
Thank you for conducting this experiement.. Losing 2 staffs in the process. How do you reckon an aluminium staff would fair against a sword in a real fight scenario?
-
I've been learning about Bo staff for 3 years now watching your video. It is super impressive that I have developed my skills just by watching you. And you should use a white wax staff, it is known as the best material for Martial art in some Asian Country. -love from Vietnam 🇻🇳 ❤
-
I made one similar to what your friend made as an experiment. it to split, I think the multiple pieces of wood just make it more flexible and nothing else. also, ash is a weak wood when compared to oak and hickory
-
guys what is the best wooden bo staff against breaking? just strong againsr breaking nothing else can anyone answer pls?
-
Cool!
-
I have a grade 9 solid titanium cane.
-
ey. just wanted to thank you for breaking your fresh and custom staffs for us ^^"
-
I've got the steel one from KarateMart
-
Could you try ash vs oak vs hickory vs white wax wood? The white wax wood should be the natural, thicker Southern cudgel type (as opposed to the sanded, thinner Wushu type); since it is a sapling, it will be naturally tapered, but the other staves should, ideally, be non-tapered. Thanks.

Haha R. I. P the Ash bo and your friends bo.. I had a feeling that three piece one would break fer sure
