hiya, if you give me your zip code, i can check shipping costs. however, i wouldn't split the bo's up - they come as 3 in the carrying case. but for that price considering what one BO is selling for on the net or on ebay...it's cheap
lol, as far as getting beaten up with a BO, been there done it. i actually did practice a few times with one of the BO's - the ashwood. I was demonstrating a series of three 360 degree spins with it for a friend, an ex-flame, and stupidly I hadn't warmed my muscles up first, which is so important to do!!! Low n' behold, I ripped the performis muscle under my right ass cheek, it got all twisted around the sciatic nerve, thus, inflaming it to near death, and i ended up with a severe case of sciatica for several months. i developed a "BO phobia" and never touched a BO in that regard again. They don't call staffs "lethal weapons" for nothing, lol. You gotta' know how to use them.
My niece's hubby, who knows nothing about martial artforms, wanted to buy them...but i wouldn't let him. He came over one night to look at them, picked one up and started swinging it around like he was Tarzan in some imaginary jungle. I told him, "put that down right now, or you're gonna' end up killin' yerself, mister." He was really bummed, but I think I might've saved him some misery.
