The versatility of movements with the Rokushakubo is healthy and fun. The entire body is involved during training. The numerous techniques, postures and rotational movements increase endurance, strength and stability. After a long break, the body learns to move correctly again for the first time. The entire musculature is strengthened and the cardiovascular system is positively stimulated. The training helps to prevent back or neck problems that can arise from poor or permanently incorrect posture. Training with the Bo is suitable for all age groups and does not require any prior knowledge of a martial art.
Even for pure fitness enthusiasts, training with the Bo can be a great workout to really exhaust yourself. The stick for cardio and stretching exercises can already be included in the warm-up phase. The versatile work on the standing boxing bag with a stick, the use of unarmed techniques such as straight punches, hammer fists and kicks increase endurance, strength and reflexes.
Kata training can also serve as meditation. It helps to relieve tension in everyday life and supports you in regaining the necessary balance and serenity that is needed in increasingly stressful times. The training gives mental stability and draws new strength to master even difficult life situations.
