Here are some tips to start your bo staff journey off right: Choosing a Bo Staff There are four big factors that you should consider when picking a bo staff. Length: As sport karate competitor and Team Paul Mitchell member Jackson Rudolph explains in this video , the correct length for your bo staff depends on your height.
