What are Fighting Fans for?

[phi-long]

the fan is very effective weapon close or open. if u find a good iron one it can stand up to a true katana blade. and yes they do hurt like hell. they are mostly used in close combad(locking and striking) the wrist, shoulderblades, temples, schins,inner thigh, armpits,...well u get the point. and are an effective defense against most weapons including the spear and bo.

well, for fighting...but it distracts the attacker and nowadays if you packed a couple of those, it would confuse them, if you know how to use em there pretty damn dangerous, and i think its called a steel fan

[Why_Worry]

Fans are really good if you find a good one and sharp ones are cool. Its alot easier to find a good one by searching up "Tessen" or "Gunsen" (same results most of the time) on ebay. And i know its not the most reliable website, but i dont expect anyone ot steal from a martial artist and i will trust mos tmartial artist which probably isnt a wise thing but i dont mind.
