 For example, in stick dances from Brackley in the Cotswold tradition, each dancer twirls one or two sticks throughout the dance.Staff twirling is the art or sport of skillfully manipulating a staff, such as a quarterstaff, bo, or other long length of wood, metal, or plastic as recreation, sport, or as a performance.In the martial art of "bojutsu", a bo is used as a weapon, increasing the force delivered in a strike, through leverage.
