Things You'll Need:
- Bo Staff
-
Step 1
Start in a neutral position with the Bo Staff out in front of you. Hold the Bo Staff with an underhand and overhand grip at a 45 degree angle.
-
Step 2
Strike to the right, sweeping the left tip of the Bo Staff down and out in front of you in a slicing motion. As the left tip moves forward, the right tip will swing back until the shaft of your Bo Staff hits the right side of your ribcage.
-
Step 3
Strike to the left, swinging the left tip back in an arc over your head in a circular motion until you can slice down and out in front of you. As the left tip slices forward again, the right tip will swing back until the shaft of your Bo Staff hits the left side of your ribcage.
-
Step 4
Strike to the right again, swinging the left tip back in arc over your head. As the left tip slices down and out, the right tip will again swing back until shaft of your Bo Staff hits the right side of your ribcage.
-
Step 5
Perform a helicopter spin over your head, twirling the Bo Staff two to three times between the fingers of one hand and using the other hand as a guide.
-
Step 6
Pass the Bo Staff behind the back, swinging it back with one hand, twisting your wrist in a clockwise motion, until you touch your hand to your back, and grab it with the other.
-
Step 7
Bring the Bo Staff front, and move into another strike to the right.
-
Step 8
From the strike to the right, move into a stab by drawing the Bo Staff toward you, keeping the left tip pointing forward. Your elbow will move back and up, while your left forearm comes into your chest and then thrust the tip forward.
-
Step 9
Bring the Bo Staff front and move into a “Figure Eight” movement.
-
Step 10
Come center and strike a “Judge’s Formation.”
