Hello everybody.
I really would like to know where I could find at least 8 ft long bo staff in EU shops, or at least in the web shops
I tried really hard to find it anywhere, but with out any luck, I could not find even in the website.
If there was a long bo staff, they would be too expensive for me.
And for those who ask why would I need a long bo staf , it is because I'm a very tall person and I need a good practical staff for my size.
And my height is 2.03 meters.

any information how to obtain any long pole weapons would be just great and I will be very thankful!

The only thing I can advise is that you ask for one to be custom made. This can be expensive. An alternative is to make your own. If you go to any carpenter's supplier, you can buy ramin doweling of various thickness and lengths. It's not as good as oak for giving a good finish. I made a jo staff like this; I sanded the wood with two sets of sand paper and then sprayed it with furniture polish; job done, I had good use of it for many years.
