i'm not really sure how they calculate it for them, but when i used to use a Bo, karate staff also known as rokushakubo, it was just about 6 feet. give or take. but that was weapon based and it was over my head. i would suppose you would want it under your head. so i would say a good place to find out is to go to a hardware store, and find wooden dowels. give them a try. you probably want something around ground to maybe chest or shoulder high at most.

As for staff length...it really is all about preference and desired usage. Most people who do contact staff that I know prefer longer staves since they will move a little slower/have more momentum. 4-5' seems to be pretty typical but some people use staves up to about 6'. As for double staff....they're typically around 3-4' from my experience.

Yo, deffintaly longer is easier for contact, i prefer a length about 5 foot but mess around with some broom handles etc to get a good feel, if your doubling it then you want it around 3-4 what ever you are comfy with, i use 3.5 foot for double, i don't know if you can order that i just use dowels.

Pracatice with stuff first, cuz those bitches are expensive and it would suck to get a size you don't like

Yeah, I agree....figure out what length you prefer before ordering a real set....cause money doesn't grow on trees, unfortunately.

Yea i ordered the 3.5 ft for single staff use and regreted it. Played with it for acouple days, its been sittin in my closet since. Prolly should go w 4 to 5 ft like the others said. I might order a second one but damn them things are expensive. Seems like i could of made it myself for way cheaper. But o well.
