What martial arts from implements a Bo or Staff?
I want to get into martial arts but especially the kind that uses a Staff. What type of Martial Arts is this?
Okinawan Kobudo uses the bo; many karate systems, especially the ones from Okinawa, will sometimes incorporate it into their training. I believe Isshin-Ryu especially has bo work at black belt level.
Wing Chun Kung Fu uses the staff for certain. Many other kung fu systems will use it as well. It’s a more sure than than karate systems, as kung fu has almost always trained weapons side-by-side, traditionally speaking, with empty-hand techniques.
Kali will also use a long staff sometimes, although they’re better known for short sticks.
Some Western/Medieval martial arts will also use staffs or pole-arms.
Check around for the schools near you, call ‘em up and ask ‘em.
Rediculous gymnastics moves.
