Ahazmaksya Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 What are some Martial Arts that eventually get to teaching you how to use a weapon, And what are some styles that focus entirely on weaponary. Thankyou
SaiFightsMS Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 Well , in my Shotokan school we also did kobudo. Our primary weapon was bo (long staff). Getting my black belt with it was great. We also work with Sai, tonfa and nunchaku. After black belt they do some kama as well. Kobudo training can complement karate training very nicely. And it can be a lot of fun.

Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .Sandan Motobu ha Shi-to ryu karate Katsu ryu kempo Ryukyu kobudo
SBN Doug Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 This won't be complete, but here it goes. So far in Kuk Sool Won, I have learned: Long and middle staff, double short sticks, long sword, jool bong (nunchucks), rope, cane, throwing knives, archery. Weapons I know are still ahead of me are: fan, double short swords, spear, and the sectional staff. I'm not sure if I missed any that are ahead of me.

egarlock Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 For many of the southeast asian styles the question is not "which eventually teach weapons", but rather "when do they focus on empty hand". Kali, Silat, Arnis, Escrima and their derivatives all start day one with weapons. Historically weapons were taught first, for expediency. They were taught to the villagers en-masse just before the invaders arrived. Practice of these styles in peace-time was socially frowned upon, and those who did practice were prejudicely labled as "pirates" or insane. Hit Harder, Run Faster
Prodigy-Child Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 alot of filipino martial arts encorporate weapons in their training You can boo me if you want, You know I'm right!-Chris Rock
YODA Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Hi Guys Filipino arts are awesome for weapons training & differ, as mentioned above, from most arts in that they are taught first. I start my students off with stick & double stick at their first class. They eventually go on to learn... Single stick Single sword Double stick Double sword Stick & Dagger Dagger Balisong / pocket stick Double dagger Long two handeed sword Staff .... oh yeah, they learn to kick, punch, elbow, knee, headbutt, lock, throw, gouge & trap too YODA 2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima Instructor : JKD Concepts http://www.jkdc.co.uk http://www.docepares.co.uk YODA2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.ukQualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.ukQualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology)
