Katana, Bo and Bokken right now! I tend to vary in what I like periodically Katana's always in the list though!
My favorite weapon is the mind. Seriously, it might not hurt to get hit with one, but it's really messy and you get sick trying to clean it off of you, allowing me to escape.
My Fists are all the waepon i need but if i had to choose a another weapon it would definetly be. .....the BO
I would like my fav weapon to be the european flail, but sciance I'm not into accidentaly killing myself I use the Tonfa
I like the spear, Quick, deadly if you want, long, forgives mistakes easily. Ive saw myself, a mistake with the spear may turn into a really powerful move. i like it.
Ive trained with the kubotan and blades and some kali. So many weapons to learn, so little money to pay
I've only trained with a few|( Out of what I know... Nunchucks. Out of what I don't know but have an opportunity to get my grubby mits on for a minute or two, definitely the Katana.
Ill soon have my hunting and gun license, but I have used some of my dads rifles already and I love the 12 gauge pump action and the semi auto .22 rifle, even though its small, Its fun as hell to use, like a pellet gun, that shoots bullets. lol. I like the bo , but I'd rather use the flexible chinese one rather than the rattan japanese one. I havent learned them yet but the sais are cool too.
That I considered myself proficient at, I'd go with the steel fan. For elegance the chinese straight sword (gim), for sparring a diamond head spear. For everything else my feet, just watch how quickly they make me disappear.
I agree. Any technique I learned with the hanbo can be done with the cane. Also, as Andy said earlier in this post, its difficult to hurt yourself with a staff / cane / hanbo The kursari-fundo is also a great weapon, which can be replaced with a rope, belt, etc.
KAadoboodoo Tuuubuu!! http://penny-arcade.com/images/2004/20040105l.jpg Cardboard tube. I rest my case. In all honesty, I prefer the cane, as many times as I've said it. I understand the whole discipline principle of weapons training, but I see no practical use for them if you're not able to protect yourself with them in public.
Give me my tonfa and bo over some of this stuff any day... Okay, if you want something really exotic, then I'll go with naginata. A lot of my bo technique can transfer over to the weapon, but it becomes more of a finesse weapon when you get into slashing techniques. It takes a lot of skill to wield properly.
Andy, how can we limit it to just one? Favorite: hmmm, probably baat jam dao as taught in Wing Chun, followed by three sectional staff as taught in mantis boxing. Weapon I've done the most damage with: the radio!
i was looking on a web sit for small pocket sized weapons and i saw the Kuboton keyring things i was wondering how they are used and if anyone knows a site where i can see any techniques for them.
