aefibird Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Does anyone on here train with any of the more 'uncommon' weapons out there? Y'know, not the usual Bo, Sai, Nunchaku, Kama, etc etc etc. For example, does anyone train with the Jitte or the Naginata? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

granmasterchen Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 yes, here in japan we have a class that is strictly for training with the naginata, then for the jitte we study that in our ninpo classes That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
yamesu Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 i know one Yari kata, its not very long though. Osu. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
yamesu Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Ooh oohh........ i also know a little bit with Kubotan, and a few moves with a hook-handle umbrella.......... other than that its mainly only bo and 3-sec..... sorry about 2 posts. Osu. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
steveb Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 I haven't reached the level where I learn them yet, but our system also trains in the eku bo (oar) and the nunte bo (bo w/ spear). Res firma, mitescere nescit
Sauzin Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 I practice a Koa (3 pronged hoe) kata. Now there is a true Okinawan farming implement. 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.

trevorhu Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 My favorite weapons style, but most everyone with which I practice use European fighting styles. I am trained in Tang Soo Do and I find very little applicability to my Tetsubo and Naginata practice.
tommarker Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 tsd not applicable to naginata? I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
