Forums > Social Chat > looking for a staff variation

Posted: 18th Jan 2013
ive seen these types of vids in past but never seen what its called or any 'how to' vids

BUT as a guesstimate, its basic acrobatics and simply using the staff to push you off the ground (similar to how you would use a pole vault) for a bit of extra lift. if i was going to learn it id say some (see: year, maybe 2) gymnastic training and (obviously) having a staff that is strong enough to handle you putting all your weight on it

I dont want to be called 'the greatest' or 'one of the greats'; let other guys claim to be the best. I just want to be known as a clown, to me thats the height of my profession. It means you can do everything-sing, dance, and above all, make people laugh

Might you be thinking of monkey staff? It's a martial arts variant.

I'd rather die on paws, than live on feet.

thanks guys, its funny, i watched the first two vids then looked up monkey staff, and as im watching i though, this should be call acrostaff because its not like normal contact or spinning. i click on the third vid and holy crap thats what it says.
acrostaff, cant wait to get/make one and practice. now i just need to know how to make one or where to buy one. if you could help again thanks.
