I was wondering how many of you have trained for different type of terrain and environments. Something that brought this to mind is some of the things I have learned. When we learn bo staff techniques we deal primarily with the Northern style (mountains) and southern style (rice paddies). The North style you hold the bo as if you were going to use it as a walking stick. The Southern style you wield the bo as if you were waist deep in water. Have any of you trained so that you could fight in water, snow, etc.?
