I can not tell you how long the sticks are in the photo without a reference to go by. They look to be almost the same size of the sais. They also appear to be connected at the top... could this be a 2 section staff .. Nunchaku, if you will have it?
You practice these style for 10, 20 or 30 years (?) and you dont know how long is short stick? Come on, I am not attcking you now, but dont you learn that first?

i have seen some students of shaolin-do do our stuff and it looked like karate but thats only because they dont train hard enough or didnt listen when they were told how to do it.
But how Shaolin can looks like Karate. These are two diferent things. When you see two persons one prectice Shaolin and other practice Karate. These are to so diferent arts. Its realy hard to change these two arts.

No no. I didn't take this photo. It was taken in China and I've never been there. You asked me how long the sticks were in the picture. I have no idea, since I wasn't there. That could actually be a tiny little desk set for all I know.

Well setsu, we actually learn a bo staff formally first, but then it is only very basic handling manuevers and spins. But for the first actual weapon form we learn and applications, yes it is the short stick Our short stick should be as along as to reach a few inches past the palm of our hand when it is sitting on the ground at your side. Or maybe a better way to describe it would be to make it just a few inches (2-3) longer than the length of an arm. It must fit the user so taller people have a longer stick than a shorter person.
Actually he didn't ask me the size of our short stick he asked me this:

He may have thought that was taken by me or was taken inside one of our schools. And yes our short stick should come about to the person's wrist when it is stood on end, on the ground.
Hey Mr. Cool .. what am I looking at? Did this pertain to something said on this thread? I'm just confused at what I am supposed to be looking for, friend.

This was supposed to go into the drunken boxing thread in one of the Chinese style forums :P
