Aikido Bo Staff Techniques

"A staff is a large, thick stick or stick-shaped object used to help with walking, as a status symbol, as a component of traditional barrel making, or as a weapon.  The plural form of staff was originally staves (compare wolf, wolves and knife, knives), and in British and International English this is still preferred. In American English the usual plural form has become staffs, except in fantasy literature. The old English plural form staves collectively describes the wooden sticks bound by iron hoops to form traditional wooden barrels.  Examples of staffs in Western Martial Arts include the English quarterstaff and the French b�ton, and there are many martial arts, such as Italian Liu-bo, based around such staff-like weapons.  The Indian Silambam staff has been used as a weapon since at least the 2nd century, evident from references in ancient Sangam literature of the time. The martial art associated with the Silambam staff is also known as Silambam. This staff was later incorporated in several Malay martial arts such as Silat." -   Wikipedia - Staff (Stick)

"Many people do not like the walking cane for Self-defense because it does not go along with their age, attire or, they simply do not want to be associated with someone who may be disabled. They do not wish to have the stigma that is often associated with the cane.  There is a strength in that appearance. The strong appearing to be weak might be all the edge you need in a lot of physical confrontations. That�s a "Combat Ruse." A young attacker who is strong might make the incredible mistake of thinking you are easy prey, to find out all too late that you�re not.  The Cane gives even more reach than the average telescoping baton in some cases and is legal in more areas than that weapon.  Perhaps the greatest strength of all is in the presentation. The Cane is already "drawn." You can strike immediately with it. There is an old saying in Gun Circles, "The fastest draw is to have the gun in your hand when the trouble starts." This applies to the knife as well, and the stick. The strength of the Cane is, it is a Cane! It�s not a gun or a knife, it is already out in the open and you can strike instantly with it." -   Don Rearic, The Beginner's Guide to the Cane

It came from Nepal, in the South; From it I hung the Mahayana Sutras; I take it with me to the marketplace; It was offered to me by a faithful follower. This is the story of my walking staff. If you do not understand my meaning, Listen then with great care:
