Senior Black Belt Competitor Needs Advice

Orginal Post: cleung: I have been competing in the senior (40-49) BB weapons division and need some advice. I do both bo staff and three section staff which are two completely different weapons styles. The present forms for each weapon are on video at both the Google video and YouTube video websites. Just do a search with 'clint bo staff' and 'clint three section staff' which will access these videos. Since my senior weapons divisions are mixed styles, I can and have done both weapons in competition with no clear cut answer on which is better. I would like to get some constructive comments on my weapons forms if possible;
1) which form is better, i.e., which would you score higher in competition?
2) as I am a senior competitor, I will not be able to do any extreme techniques so what else can I work on to improve these forms based on the video footage?
Feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

First off, stop watching videos to learn anything. Second, stop caling yourself a black belt, they don't mean anything. never sen a belt jump of someones waist and beat the hell out of someone.
Third, go join a dojo that specializes in weapons, or leave the dojos behind, you'll be better off.
As for at 49 not being able to do anything extreme. Chuck Norris is like 70 now, and while many on here joke about him, it's more envy then anything else. Yeah, he has commercialzed the hell out of himself and his image, and most here secretly wish they could to I think. Someone offered be million to do a flick, duh, should I take it. Anyhow, his workouts are still grueling, instense, and h can get very instense. Don't use your age as an ezxcuse man.
Oh, and did I mention stop watching the videos. Your better off undertaking an intensive study on your own to master the staf then you are watching a damn video. When will empty handers learn, you don't need any kind of belt to study weapons, and they are not the same thing at all to being with. Good bye.>

There must have been some misundertanding to my message because I wasn't trying to learn weapons by watching these videos because the guy featured on these two weapons videos is me.
I was just trying to get some feedback on my weapons forms (apart from the usual judges at tournaments).>
