Yes you are just the guy i was looking for im making a video where i wanna use bo staff techniques, and you make fantastic videos about it so thank you. 👍
Practice makes perfect! These instructional videos make a walk thru NYC, or Chi-town, or LA, or Portland, or Seattle...etc, etc, etc seem like a fun practice day! 😁
@Matt, Do you practice Sanchin Kata? The benefits of Sanchin kata using dynamic tension exponentially cultivates thicker, stronger, tendons. Many westerners fail by performing kata fast when it's meant to be done slowly with dynamic tension but incorporating the jee lik exulsion in the finger tips at the end of extension to release the tension. Sanchin is why Okinawan karatekas don't suffer torn tendons & torn rotator cuffs even in their older age in Okinawa. . .unlike many western martial artists & combat athletes.
at this close distance the first thing they'll do is grab the stick with BOTH HANDS (one on middle - both apart). Why grab the little end or with two hands together??? Distance is one of the big advantages of the jo, and if they grab you've lost that initial advantage.
Hi matt! I am 15 years old.Should i condition my knuckles with car tires?Hitting car tires, i mean.Punching a hard heavy bag does not do a lot for me anymore, in terms of conditioning knuckles.Thanks
Not yet. Your bones are still growing and you can stunt their growth or create deformation of the bones which can’t be fixed. You need to give it a little time. Right now focus on proper punch form and build muscle with push-ups and pull-ups and dips. Wait until you stop growing for the conditioning. The bag is enough for now. Tires aren’t the best either because they rebound too much and can shoot the energy back into the hand causing damage. An old school makiwara is best and you can make your own. Thanks for your question. If you are like me you don’t like being told not to do something. Hahaha. But don’t learn from your own injuries. The old guys have made all the mistakes already - learn from that.
@@pasquinilli just to know, what are some things that i can do to beat a very big fat guy?Kinda 4 years older than me, picking on me a lot.Very fat and much taller than me.Probably twice my size.Telling someone aint an option.
@@riskysway2542 it’s frustrating that telling someone doesn’t work, but I get it. Size doesn’t really matter. Self defense should focus on weak areas like solar plexus, leg kick to the thigh with your shin, stomp to the top of the foot with your foot, etc… But being able to speak up for yourself and carry yourself in a way that can avoid the fight is best.
@@pasquinilli oh i tried, but nothing is changing.They are 5, all 12th graders, they are minimum 17 yo.I am 15.I was thinking of getting the fat one, kick him in the ball$, grab his shirt collar and whack his nose with 2 straights.But then?I cannot just let it pass all the time. Keeping in mind i am 60 kg, that guy is probably 100+ kg...
@@riskysway2542 I don’t advocate fighting. Only as a last resort. Having said that, in my experience, a straight right to the solar plexus knocks the wind out and stops the fight faster without damaging your hand. It’s also more unexpected.
One of the best martial artists you can find here on youtube. amazing sir.
Thank you Gregory!!

Awesome. I have the long stick from My Tai Chi training. Similar. i also worked with the cane which is similar, used additionally on the legs.
Hey Matt great video!! When is the kubotan workout coming out??
A other good demonstration

Same technique will work if they grab the way you describe. Best is not to let them grab. Thanks!
Have you heard of a new movie project coming up, The Last Kumite
