A first aid Kit. They contain Plastic tubs, pins, bandages. The rear view mirror could be a fairly affective bludgoen (sp) De-icer sprayed in the face. Torch if you keep one to hand. You could put a jump cable on someones nose (clamp it on and then choke them) Anything you could find in the boot.

I assume you're refering to the toothpick shape of the bo, with both ends tapered. I think this is so you can twirl it faster*. I train with a tapered staff, but have been twirling with a broom handle for 4 years on and off. It's a matter of preference. *Moments of a turning force, if another staff was same weight but uniform it would be harder to accelerate it. In the same way, at the point of striking it will apply less force.

Hello, I'm one of the few uncool ones. Just look at my stupid sig. Have fun posting here, S

Samurai used swords in a 3 blade set. Katana, the long thin sword. Wakizashi, slightly shorter and wider, and the dagger called a tanto. The place I read about this and the relevant page. Lots of samurai history

Maybe you had a lil tiff with him earlier that day, or maybe you just really want to fight with blades, and the way your subconcious can do that safely is by having a cap on the sword. The fact you took the cap off the sword may show you don't really like loosing, as when you were, you suddenly made it very dangerous, even though it started as a friendly sparring. Though you wont admit this to yourself, as you were saying to your friend how is was mean as sparring. This is fun, sorry if I insulted you in anyway, I'm just voicing what my mind can make out of it. I need one of them shinny dream coats.

Sa Bum nim until they do masters grading, when it's master so-and-so. Also as Sir/ma'am. Lau if I like, but I would never call Master Zamparelli by his first name. It's probably because my instructor is more of a friend than the master, so if it's a non MA social event, he'll be Lau. Having said that, I know a Cho dan who I doubt I will ever call them Sa bum Nim. They are not an instructor, and thats what it means to me. If I see a school teacher walking down the street then I will call them Sir/Miss. If I am good friends with them I may call them by their first name, but in a learning environment they are still Sir/Miss. Oops, there I go again, I should stop talking.

10 knuckles? You must have weird hands mate. Also, I think he means 2 on each hand, but I may be wrong.
