Rattan Bo Staff can be mistaken for bamboo staffs, and offer an extremely flexible training staff for Kung Fu and Tai Chi practitioners for Chinese Martial Arts
The rattan Bo staff is so different from the standard Japanese Bo staffs in that it has great flexibility. This makes it strong and durable, it can take a knock but also light and moveable. Many people call them Bamboo Staffs, please please don't train with bamboo, it splinters terribly. Rattan is the material you want and works much better for Martial Arts.
Used in many styles but mainly Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi. In Tai Chi people use them for forms and partner drills but also a lot for practicing Fa Jin. The Kung Fu practitioners will use these for form work as well as partner drills and sparring, but will love the flexibility from fast striking movements and speed you can get from it being so lightweight. Also it works as a perfect lightweight version of a Bo staff, so if you don't want to train with the weight of a red oak Bo staff the Rattan Bo staff is a perfect alternative.
Made in the standard Bo Staff length of 6ft / 72 inches / 183cm. You can also buy the Bo Staff Case to store and carry it in.
"The thickness and flexibility with these can vary, so if you have a specific need, then please give us a call and we'll do our best to suit your preference"

Excellent product and very quick delivery!!
I needed a rattan bo urgently for my son for a karate competition. My order was turned around within 24 hours and I received it the next day. It is lovely and lightweight, just what he needed to win a silver medal at his competition! Recommend the product and so impressed with the service. I will passing the details around the club.
Not too keen on the high gloss finish. In my experience, the first thing people do is to sand it off. That said, its just the job.
Excellent Bo staff for gently building my arm strength.
I bought a BO Staff purely for exercise with hand eye coordination. I bought a Ratten BO staff from ENSO MA because of there honest description and experience. The staff was delivered next day by ups well wrapped and in good condition. I would recommend ENSO MA ;and for me , would be 1st port of call.
Bought the Bo Staff for my son who is a black belt he already had a Bo, but said that he prefers this rattan especially for training
