What is a "bō"?
A bō is a long wooden staff used in traditional martial arts, particularly in disciplines like karate, jujutsu, and kobudo. It typically measures around 6 feet in length and is made of strong, durable wood. The bō is used for a variety of techniques, including strikes, blocks, thrusts, and sweeps. Practitioners wield the bō to improve their balance, coordination, and precision, often performing forms or kata to practice its use. The bō requires both strength and skill, as it demands control and timing during defensive and offensive movements.
