Hello! And, greetings from Raleigh-Durham, NC! :ultracool
Looking to get some information confirmed regarding the proper size for a practishioner to make a custom-length Hando cane.
Recently, and for the life of me I can't find the link, I read online (yes, I know, consider the source) that the proper length of a "personlized" hanbo was from the hip-bone of the pratishinoer, down to their ankle-bone.
Some of my training will include use of a Hando (or similar weapons), and I'm taking one if my step-daughters old Bo to make one from. It's NICE, sturdy Chinese Red Oak; so, I think that it will turn out nicely in the end.
Thankk you in advance for any positive comments and/or advice!
Yours In The Arts,
Andrew
