Warm Spell Good For Training Bo Staff

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Since we have a relative warm spell today, it might be a good day to go outside and train some bo staff. That’s if the rain stops. This warm spell will not last as temperatures are expected to go back to winter weather tomorrow and I will be less willing to train outdoors. Winter outdoor training with the bo staff or any other weapon for that matter is tricky. If one bundles up, the body is too restricted in movement for training well. But if one doesn’t wear enough, I would last only minutes outside, even if I train at full blast. Gloves are also a must. Too bad I don’t have a large training facility that could facilitate bo staff and other long weapons training during the winter.
