    The lightness of the wax-wood staffs are the reason why they are so good. You can move them very, very fast.

    We have different forms with waxwood staffs than we have with the heavier, brown, wooden ones.

    i used to make 3 sectionals out of PVC plastic tubing with nylon rope...it's easy to make, it's user friendly and it works like a charm without as painful a learning curve as wood offers. you'll still hit yourself, it just won't hurt as much.

    hope it helps.

    sincerely,
    neil

    ps. the form in the clip is very similar to the 'tiger-tail 3 sectional' set of mantis fame

    It does vary from state to state. In Tennessee there is a statute for carrying any club, blackjack, or knife with a blade over 4" long "with the intent to go armed." My understanding is that most staffs, short sticks etc would qualify as a club. There are special laws for weapons seperated with a cord or chain as well, but they also have the "intent" part of the law. Basically, it's illegal to carry one for the sole purpose to have a weapon available i.e. to be armed. It's fine to have your dao, straight swords, staffs etc. when going to and coming from class or practice. There's probably federal laws for carrying certain blades and clubs accross state lines etc. Hope that helps.
