Lady Kitana Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 hi everyone If I had the chance to learn how to fight with weapons , which one is the best one to start with the fan or sai's. They both look really cool . thanks ! your hands and feet are all the protection you need, you win some you loose some but you live to fight another day !!!
Pacificshore Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Whateva your choice, either one would be a cool addtion to your tool box Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
username4 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 i would think the sais would be a good start becuase they are said to be easyer but the fan would be cool but i have never heard of one ever being used as a weapon. has anyone?
pressureguy Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I guess it would depend on what type of fighting you mean. If you are talking about tournament or inter-martial art fighting matches, the sai would be better, but if you are talking about street self-defense, then neither. If you pulled a fan on a mugger, they would laugh while raping and beating you. If you pulled sais on an attacker, you are going to jail for carrying an illegal weapon. Even if sai are legal in your state, the police are not going to believe that you pulled them in self-defense. They (and I) would believe that someone walking around with sais tucked in their belt are looking for a fight. pressureguy ]===[------------------------>http://www.backyardmartialarts.org]===[------------------------>
battousai16 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 actually, i'd imagine that an abstract weapon like the fans would fare better in a tournament than the sai, if for no other reason that it's a good change of pace for the judges, and i assume less of them would be familiar with the techniques, thus giving you some room for error. at any rate, i personally would take the fans, merely because if, later on in life, for whatever reason you decide that you want nothing more than to learn the fans, you're gonna' have a hell of a harder time finding someone to teach you fans than you will sai.

1kickKO Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I would say sai, because they are traditional and a great weapon to learn. Judges love them, and the history behind them is great too. But fans are also cool..but I would say go with the sais.
CloudDragon Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 I would go with fans, as they are rare, and being a lady? (hey, I've been on the net since speed was measured in baud, I question everyting!) It would be somewhat applicable in a street situation, realizing of course it has its limits. The Sai, while a wonderful weapon for their design, are in today's world a historical item and useful for tournaments, but not really for self defense. A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!
krzychicano Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Fans all the way. I can't wait for the day I start to learn the fans they are so cool. What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. - Confucius
KUNTA KINTE Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 do you guys consider fans "womens" weapons...JW some people do The right to keep and bear Arms.
1kickKO Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Not at all, many men use them, some instructors at camp that taught the fan were men.
