Title: Staff dueling Post by: AlthaxX on May 08, 2012, 02:20:42 AM I managed to get outside and play around with my sabers tonight for a little bit. I tried them as a 2 hander, one hander and dual wielding. Then i put them together into a staff and it just felt right to me, im pretty sure i will be specializing in staff style. Does anyone know what forms work best for staffs and also some sources for learning the style, i dont see alot on them arund this thread.
Most of what i read so far focuses on a bo staff and the longstaff. But the bo staff is much shorter than the 84" inch phantom saber staff. Thanks in advance for your guidance.

If you are defensive I would recommend Soresu, it can be quite effective with a staff... if you are offensive maybe Juyo might be more your style. If you prefer a mix of both I would recommend Ataru. The agility training, combined with the kinetic movements will be a good mix. |
