Sticks, staff weapons

Experience a new dimension of martial arts and discover the power of staff/staff weapons.

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker brought the staff weapons with their lightsabers onto the big canvases and thrilled the masses in the process. However, the history of the bars goes way back in history. In ancient Japan, stick weapons were part of the standard equipment of the samurai. In their typical length and shape, Jo- and Bo-sticks have survived and are used in assorted styles such as Aikido, Bo-Jutsu, or Kobudo. The Eskrima sticks, which are primarily used as a pair, look more like drumsticks. Their origins lie in Filipino martial arts such as Eskrima, Arnis, or Kali. The handy sticks are mostly made of rattan and therefore have an elevated level of resistance. In addition, the natural material is light and elastic, so that it is suitable for beginners and advanced. Find your personal favorites here in our Budoland online shop among a wide selection of staff weapons and experience martial arts in a new dimension.

Jodokas appreciate the jo staff with a safety cover.

At 128 cm, a jo staff is about 30 cm longer than a traditional Japanese long sword and can be devastatingly effective when used with the right technique. In training, the katana is replaced by a bokken, so sturdy wooden weapons face off against each other. To minimize the risk of injury, equipment with a foam cover can be used. Our foam-covered jo staff is sturdy yet extremely easy to handle. The material is non-slip, so you can easily transfer your exercises from the “soft” jo to a solid wooden staff. In addition to beginner training, the foam-covered jo staff also appeals to a broad fan base as a performance prop.

It gets down to business in a double pack - Escrima with foam coating.

Beginners usually train with just one stick before learning the double stick technique. The foam cover of the sticks provides a high level of protection, which means that the bars are significant in partner training to train without injury. Once you have learned the perfect interplay of mental, physical, and technical skills, the exercises can be easily carried out using everyday objects. The “soft” Escrima are delivered to you as a pair so that you can practice your skills from one-stick to two-stick techniques without stopping. For storage, we recommend our Escrima bag from the shop offer.

Experience the history of martial arts. Escrima sticks breathe new life into ancient traditions.

Whether for defense or attack—with this high-quality Escrima stick made of sturdy hardwood, you’ll be prepared for anything. Fighting with Escrima sticks is part of the weapon-based martial arts system known as Filipino Martial Arts and is divided into three systems—Eskrima, Kali, and Arnis. The main difference between them lies in their origins. Kali originates more from the south, Eskrima from the central region, and Arnis from the northern part of the Philippine archipelago. Collectively known as FMA (Filipino Martial Arts), the focus is on weapon combat with Escrima and similar disciplines. Only afterward do practitioners apply the exercises and movement sequences they’ve practiced—this time without weapons.

Your close combat option with historical background: Tanto made of hardwood.

For a safe training process, we also offer many traditional weapons as wooden weapons. The risk of injury is significantly lower about a real knife and sword weapons. Nevertheless, shape and weight remain essential criteria to facilitate a later transition to the originals. The word “Tanto” comes from Japanese and means short sword. It is one of the classic melee weapons and looks back on a long tradition of the notorious samurai. Thanks to the striking blade tip, the blade length is below your Shaku (approx. 30 cm), and the short sword is very stable. Our hardwood tanto has a smooth structure and an excellent grip.

Anything but a walk – practice sessions with the Jo stick.

The length of the jo staff is the same as that of a walking stick, which brings us to its traditional role. When Okinawa was occupied in the 16th century, and residents were forbidden from carrying weapons, everyday objects were used for defense. Today, the Jo staff is used in various martial arts such as Aikido, Kobudo, Escrima, Arnis or Ju-Jutsu. Fluid movements with the stick improve body control and strengthen coordination. It would help to exercise caution when storing and transporting wooden weapons. Strong temperature fluctuations, humidity, or extreme dryness can damage the material and harm safety. The experts from the Budoland online shop will tell you how to treat your Jo stick correctly.

Waffe oder Sportgerät – Stäbe und Stabwaffen im Dschungel der Paragrafen.

Das deutsche Rechtssystem ist umfassend und wer nicht aufpasst, verliert leicht den Überblick. Wir führen dich durch den Paragrafen-Dschungel und klären die Frage, ob Stabwaffen unter das deutsche Waffengesetz fallen oder nicht. Der Paragraf 1 des WaffG (Waffengesetz) befasst sich umfassend mit der Begriffsbestimmung, wobei wir unseren Fokus aus Punkt 2, den tragbaren Waffen legen wollen. Demnach müssen sie ihrem Wesen nach dazu bestimmt sein, Angriffs- oder Abwehrfähigkeit von Menschen zu beseitigen/einzuschränken. Ganz explizit werden hier Hieb- und Stoßwaffen angesprochen. Aber was heißt das jetzt für Jo, Bo oder Eskirmas? Ihnen wird im Regelfall keine Waffeneigenschaft zugesprochen. Vielmehr rückt hier ihre traditionelle Bestimmung in den Vordergrund und der Verwendungszweck als Übungsgerät. Im Allgemeinen lässt sich zusammenfassen, dass Kubotan, Bo, Hanbo, Jo, Eskrima und Bokken als Sportgeräte gelten und daher frei getragen und erworben werden können. Dennoch sollte im Einzelfall immer eine Absprache mit der zuständigen Waffenbehörde erfolgen, um sich gerade im Jugend- und Vereinssportlich rechtlich absichern zu können.
