Pick your weapon

[Kwanjang]

Earlier tonight I was practicing with my nunchuku and Some other weapons, I was wondering what, if any MA weapon is your favorite? Please no firearms

 

[7starmarc]

My favorite is probably the Chinese straightsword. It is such a challenging weapon in many ways. This is, however, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that it is not exactly one of my best weapons.

 

[Blindside]

A single handed cut and thrust sword, like this one:

:fanboy:

But a good cavalry saber or pinuti or ginunting will do in a pinch, heck a $10 machete will do in a pinch.

Not a practical modern weapon, but thats fine, if we are talking practical modern weapons, I have a glock, er glocks.

Crap, no firearms? In that case I'll choose the Bo. Second choice would be escrima sticks.

 

[Twin Fist]

favorite weapons....wow

ok:
chinese? the 3 sectional staff. Almost never see anyone doingit, and having tried it, i can tell you, it is HARD to learn

Japanese/oki? I love a goof chuk form, but man, the Sai is sexxy as heck

 

[Sukerkin]

A quick glance at my avatar tells the tale for me .

Besides the katana, I would love to learn the Bo, Jo and Jitte (or Sai). My sensei's favoured weapon in practical terms is the Jo as he reckons that it is relatively easy to improvise one, should you ever need to, from a handy length of pipe or wood.

Tough to pick one, but I'd have to say butterfly knives (double broadsword being a close second).

 

[Cirdan]

Bo, kali sticks, machete.. good smash and chop

 

[MahaKaal]

Mine would be a Souson Patta or a Tulwar.

I'd have to pick sticks (Arnis/Kali) and a blade.

I would second that as well!

 

[Catalyst]

Hapkido Cane - it's completely legal in my City/State, can be taken practically anywhere without arousing suspicion and is a very practical weapon.

My second choice would be Dan Bong (Korean Short Stick) - easily concealable and again, very practical.

Where I live, it's illegal to even posess some of the traditional MA weapons.

 

[MBuzzy]

Sword.....Its really my only choice though!

 

[Kreth]

My sensei's favoured weapon in practical terms is the Jo as he reckons that it is relatively easy to improvise one, should you ever need to, from a handy length of pipe or wood.

I like stick weapons for that exact reason.

 

[tshadowchaser]

My knives, followed by a stick of almost any length

 

[zDom]

I like escrima sticks

 

[Josh Oakley]

Machete, or an asp.

I keep a 14 inch Bowie machete in the house ("Ya call that a knife mate?")

I keep a spring baton at the dojo. It has most of the benefits of an asp with far fewer liabilities.

 

[allenjp]

Hanbo. Ummm...uhh, I mean walking stick.

 

[Kwanjang]

I like escrima sticks

I wonder why zDom

 

[Mimir]

I would have to say the sword. Katana if I have to be specific. Learning the sword is one of the things I most looked forward to about getting my blackbelt.
