Bo Staff Techniques: Combination

Video Transcript

"Okay, we're going to do a little combination here. We're going to go ahead and go for the crotch and then, while we're there, we're going to go ahead and hit in the gut with a butt of our bo staff. First move, we're going to go ahead, boom, just like earlier today. What you're doing over here, you're leaving some slack. You're holding up the stick like this, you're moving up the stick to the tip, and then you're adding in some slack with some sliding motion, heading for the crotch. Ideally, this will hurt the person very much so, but if you want to go ahead and finish them off, bam right there, stepping into it or you can even step in towards the head, bam and such. Now, if the opponent starts off with coming towards you, in the back, then you can go ahead and just start off with the back and then go in for a forward crotch, side again. Again, if they're coming towards you, go ahead and just spot them in the back, boom, the head, boom. From this position, just slide it in, just start start sliding with the bo and slide in, bam, right here. It's all about coming up with combinations. You can come up with your own combinations, but I suggest you go ahead and look into Akido for some various sound. Kada combinations that you could go ahead and learn from, and perhaps, bisect and create your own ones, but for the time being, that's something you might want to consider. butt, crotch, crotch, face, or do different combinations; face, crotch, crotch, face, gut, crotch and such. Get creative, not too creative. Don't go crazy on your opponent, but you do want to match up with something reasonable and sound, and that's how you start with combinations with the crotch and the butt of your bo stick."
