Traditional Hardwood Bo Staff

Crafted for Tradition. Built for Performance.

The Ultimate Weapons Traditional Hardwood Bo combines the timeless feel of natural hardwood with the balance and performance our bo staffs are known for. Every staff is handcrafted from premium hardwood, selected for strength, consistency, and beautiful grain. Depending on seasonal availability, your staff may be crafted from Ash, Maple, Cherry, or another comparable hardwood while maintaining the same performance standards.

Unlike many traditional bo staffs on the market, our standard model features the same ¾" center diameter used on our CMX Performance Bo, resulting in a lighter, faster staff without sacrificing durability. For martial artists who prefer a more substantial feel, an optional Competitor Core Upgrade increases the center diameter to ⅞".

Each staff is built to order, allowing you to choose the length, taper, diameter, and stain that best matches your training style.
