Sho-ju Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Do you know of any trustworthy sites that sell combat ready, western weapons?
Sunrunner Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 How do you mean Western? I think the term signifies a larger area/subject than we tend to think. Do you mean western as in Western European? Western as in the Americas? Sunrunner"train until the art becomes an artless art, flowing from the unconscious."

Do you mean western as in Western European? Western as in the Americas? Your right, I was looking for western medieval weapons. Claymore, forge axe, etc. Not hand guns or atom bombs.
hajime Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 how about a lance? do you have a horse to charge through where you live? claymore mines? what's that got to do with martial arts Have you been watching Kill Bill or Braveheart recently? 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
Sho-ju Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 claymore mines? The Claymore is a sword. But you knew that. what's that got to do with martial arts Do you ask the same question of karateka who study anicent weapons from another culture? Have you been watching Kill Bill or Braveheart recently? I haven't seen Kill Bill but I do like Braveheart. A club recently opened that teaches medieval sword and other western martial arts of old and that is why I was inquiring. Thx for your post, it was great!
Sunrunner Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I don't know about steel weapons, but there is a good site for wooden practice swords of good quality...https://www.woodenswords.com They sell wooden longswords, shield swords, greatswords (claymore length) and even bokkens and wooden tai chi swords. The price may seem steep, but I think they are some of the better quality wooden wasters out there. After a year of use, mine has no cracks and few dents. Hope this helps.

hajime Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 ahhh take don't offence swords in the UK are normally only seen in Police reports and those carrying them go to prison... I'm sure you are sane and have a good reason to want this equipment. 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu

I'm sure you are sane and have a good reason to want this equipment. No offence was takken. I just don't want people to think that I'm interested in swords because I of Lord of the Rings or play roll playing games...which I don't. It's just more appealing to me then learning the katana...
hajime Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Swords are great. As much as I loved learning Karate I would rather have had a sword if I was going to fight someone 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
Drunken Monkey Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 well, they only appear on police reports when some stupid prick has been waving it about in public or hacking his neighbours to pieces with it... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
