#martialarts #karate – Okay, I got my karate bo staff form back after two training sessions following a long layoff from the winter and spring. Actually, I now remember two slightly different versions of the form I did before the winter. One includes a certain sequence while the other version skips it.
I wasn’t sure if this additional sequence was going to look any good so the only way is to video the form with and without it to see which would be better. But I’m pretty happy that the form came back into my memory after two sessions. I was a bit disappointed during the first training session because I had forgotten much of the form since I didn’t perform the full form at all during the winter and spring.
Since both possible versions of my karate bo staff form are so similar, I’m going to keep training it for a few weeks before the video just to get stronger with the entire form again. I’m using my heaviery bo staffs to help build up the power again too rather than my competition bo staffs which are very light.
Perhaps later on in the fall, I will finally be able to video the present form to replace an old bo form I have on YouTube. If you see a guy with a red top gi and black pants, that’s me. That form has been replaced by my present one which is more streamlined and powerful.
I’ve had requests at my live motivational talks to perform more of my karate bo staff since I only do a few moves. I’m not sure if I’m going to do this because I’m usually in my business suits. I do show an introduction video which has parts of my bo staff form at the beginning of many of these live talks.
