I prefer empty hands for a couple of reasons - one, TKD is an empty-hand style, and two, my hands (and feet) will always be with me, and can't be taken away in security searches!

I like escrima/kali sticks. I like canes, (obvious reasons).

I like short sticks. For some reason, I feel very comfortable with them. When I use them, I don't worry so much about my body mechanics. Things just seem to fall in to place. The sticks have also helped me flow better when working empty handed techniques.

I prefer the cane because of its versitility and the fact that even if you have no real need for it as a crouch, you can carry it in all public settings without raising an eye brow. Unless of course you walk around with it twirling around like Charlie Chaplin. LOL! PEACE

I can certainly see why the cane and knife are leading in the pole. They are simply just ultra practical self defense tools. On the list as well is rope/belt which is also a very, very practical tool.

I would LOVE to get some training in rope/belt use. I keep meaning to ask my instructor if we have some in our curriculum that I can look forward to.

It's good to see that the cane and knife are leading..two good, reliable weapons.

Of course the weapons that *I* like the most are bottom dwellers..:lol:

I also think the rope/ belt (Po Bak Sool) can be a very good weapon..but I definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. The fan (Bu Chae Sool) is right there next to it. They just don't cooperate with me all the time.

Still, a cane would not be taken away in a security search.

Like I posted earlier the cane is taken everywhere...Thanks to the ADA you don't have to explain why you carry it other than for balance...
