i think that a bo staff is best to learn first if we are talking from a defense look becuse you can find stuff to use as a bo just about anywhere, and in most places its not legal to walk down the street with lets say a katana or a gun(unless you have spacil resion for being alowed to carry said weapon with you at all times, if that is the case go with it)............but if you are doing it for the art asspect with i greatly enjoy myself i would say 3-section staff are katana are always nice to show the art part of martial arts

i walk the path of the warrior not only to yeild to my hunger of battle nor to protact myself are the ones around me. but to honer those that spent there life making a style are defending a nation with said style ^_^

Correct bo training will likely teach you the most about stance, body movement, and timing. All very important things to learn before you go on other weapons. Sword training is great, but I believe it to be a dedication unto it'self. Not something I would suggest to most color belts.

The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.

personally, i prefer to start my students with short sticks (escrima). they're shorter and easier to handle than bo staff, especially for children or those who've never had any weapons experience. I usually then move up to bo staff, but after a few years of stick training, I find that most students will naturally gravitate towards a weapon of choice. In my dojo, weapons are a sort of independent study. I went through katana, nunchaku, throwing stars, whipchain, and tonfa before i discovered that sai were my true calling. so back to your question, there really is no best weapon. any good martial arts should be able to use just about anything to inflict some pretty severe damage, and everyone will have a favorite weapon, depending on their personal style. its good to start off with a general background on some sort of staff, short or long, but then it's pretty much a free for all.
