How to Create Bo Staff Forms

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Caleb Labarda. I'm here with Expert Village. And, today I'm going to be going over beginning Bo Staff. Alright, now let's go over making up combo's o.k. Now the easiest way to make up combo's is just using all the moves that you have and putting them together, in an order that works for you. O.k, so when you're doing a Bo form, you don't want to stand in one spot, you want to move around. So, usually when you do it, you'll have a ring, you'll want to start in the center of the ring, you'll want to move forward, you want to be able to work the ring, work the edges of the ring, move it around using your Bo Staff doing all your strikes and moves. You can do it into front rolls, on your knees, different things like that. So, let's go ahead and work on it, so, we'll go with start with your strikes, one, two, three, four, switch sides, one, two, three, four, come across, you'll do a helicopter spin, behind the back. I like to go into a throw, all the way behind the back, one more time, come front, strike and stab. O.k, now from here like we did earlier, you can reverse the stab, into the top, hi-ya, o.k. And then from here, maybe you can go into a block, come down and knee, bam, o.k. So, then after the knee, block up, one more time, knee, o.k. while I'm still going straight forward, I can go into another direction from here. I can walk this way, and then go, do my exes all the way to pose. From here, maybe I can do some kicks, skip, front kick, maybe round kick, hi-ya, reverse side kick, hit, o.k. and back. Alright, now you see how I'm working the ring. I'm using all the moves that I've learned. I'm moving forward, all the way to the side, and all the way back around. Now, when you end your form, you want to end all the way back up in the middle section of your ring, right back where you started at a good judge's formation. Alright, enutrouck kenua. So, by using all these moves and putting them together, they should help you create a nice form and just remember to walk around and use the ring. "
