I asked James if he could make something special for me. I wanted a combination Koppo/Ban Bog stick. I wanted to be able to use the best points of each in one weapon. James calls the combination weapon he made me a BuKoppo.
Mine is 8 long with the Ban Bog cord at one end to draw and use as a swinging weapon at long range, and the Koppo cord in the middle to insert my fingers and get a good solid grip to use in close. To train, my partners and I use Nerf Arrows (soft foam) from a childs Nerf Bow and Arrow set to represent our JSP sticks. That way we can safely practice strikes and destruction techniques. As usual, James was able to deliver exactly what I wanted and I am very happy with the results.
