I know it's odd to think about but I am interested in creating one if there is not one already. I am in the hero business so when I think about one then it would be perfect for my team. It would be exactly like a extendable baton but in Bo Staff form. I need to know if any of you know if one is real and if one isn't then can you all help develop one with me?
RLSH work. Google RLSH and it's the first thing there. In our world we need things that are compact and easy to use. Making this would be perfect for us. Hard wood is all good but we need modern and working.
Acronym for Real Life Super Hero. People who dress up like comic book characters and pretend to fight crime, when in reality they are only living out their own pathetic juvenile childhood fantasies, because lets face it, if they ever tried to actually prevent real criminals from doing anything, they'd probably end up shot.
first off it ain't fake and I know a few who have saved lives and put people in prison before they could have done something harmful to others. Second I need this so that I can carry more then one. I can't carry a wooden one in my vest or bag. I need one compact.
Serious question... why a 'bo staff'? A collapsible baton would be much better and more effective as a blunt instrument. If that's not 'cool enough'... then maybe you have your priorities a little screwed up for a masked do-gooder.
And just my opinion... but no one needs to dress up as a super hero to help people. Just be yourself, and be prepared, and do the right thing when the time comes... FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. If you're looking for validation by saving the day and going out, looking for the baddies, well... thats a really good way to get yourself stabbed. Maybe shot if you're unlucky enough.
Bo Staff cause some people in my team use that weapon better then a regular baton and we wear uniforms and armor like bullet proof vests, D3O, and ballistic armor to protect ourselves from attacks and also the masks to protect our family and friends.
On a more serious note, exactly how would you like this bo staff? Do you want it collapsible like Robin's staff (or like a collapsible baton), or can you go with another design?
OK guy's this is beside the point. I am willing to go with any design but if I could then I would like to have it in the style of a baton. Not sure the mechanics of robins.
honestly I do not know of any type of collapsable staff and for you to have a bo staff out of the same construction it would be so heavy as to be innifectual. so unless you fabricate your own i dont think your going to find one, and why does it have to be a staff type weapon? plenty of other pole arms that work but me personaly ill stick with my glock:thumb:
im trying I just dont know enough about what your talking about to know if its a joke or serious or a lil of both personaly i think masked anybody walkin round town would attract bullets like magnets attract iron least here they would
I have seen RLSH stuff around. Never in real life though. But personally I think it is cool. Citizens watching out for other citizens that is all. A little out there, but still someone doing something instead of nothing.
Personally, I think there are other avenues, but that is just me.
Back to your main question... a collapsible bo staff. Are you looking for traditional Japanese bo? or any type of staff.
If any type of staff would do (and if legal in your area) There are interlocking three sectional staffs out there that convert into a 6 foot long staff. But you are looking at taking time to interlock them.
But really, I would still rather have one quality weapon than 2 marginal ones.
If you are looking at a true expandable bo staff kind of like an Automatic expandable baton, you will have to create one. Don't see why it would be that hard though.
I like the design because it can be solid, not hollow. The three individual pieces can be used for various self defense situations. You could attach a leather strap to each section that just hangs there when the staff is put together. I'd use it on hikes, but if using it to thwart evil doers, atleast you could use the chair to wait for the cops to show up once you've done the job.
The membari (sp) seem to have worked the bugs out of the design.
Book yourself a flight to B5 and ask around about the anul shak (sp). Someone with a funny robe with a funny pin on it should be able to help you.
Good luck
