		<description>Thanks Matt, a nice display. Every weapon has both advantages, and limitations. You have brought this out in the video, and it is a concept worth applying to all kobudo I believe. 

There is a stark difference between a weapon &#039;show&#039; demonstration, and the actual defensive use of any weapon. I like the Bo, but often, for the sake of display, we see it utilized in ways that far over reach it&#039;s true effective applications in defense.

Perhaps one day you might share a video on the Bo. It would be very educational for many to see the actual effective Bo applications, and parries that are appropriate when encountering an equally armed, and competent opponent.  </description>
