This was made for me by one of my new black belts as a gift to me for training him for his test. He and his son are both National and International Forms and Weapons champions, and he recently has been making his own bo's with colored reflective tape. When spun fast, these staffs look amazing (they shimmer...just like the sabers in the O.T. were filmed) and him knowing I was a major Luke fan, crafted this for me. I look forward to teaching/using it!
