FIRST WEAPONS

[Belasko]

Had several knives, couple of sticks the length of an escrima stick and a wooden dowel for a makeshift bo in my teen years. I now have an actual practice knife but am barely able to figure out how it is applied to my forms. I have been shown that Ba-Sai is often done as a single or double knife form but have ways to go on it still.

I was eight years old. It was a blued model 29 83/4" .44mag S&W. Before that I was given a buck folding knife and taught how to use it.

Shortly thereafter the nunchuks. then sword and then the bo.

[Kaminari]

Nunchaku.

[Dark Shogun]

For me it was sai and bo when I did Shito Ryu karate.

Now I'm Okinawan Goju Ryu and we don't do any weapons, but thats ok because I also do katana, wakazashi, jo and tanjo.

Mine was a .30-.30 for deer hunting, and only for deer hunting. Shooting a deer is no problem, shooting people is WAY outta my leauge.

First MA weapon: kali sticks

[fallen_milkman]

I started training myself in knife fighting with a group of friends shortly after seeing The Hunted. After some of us started going to kuntao classes one of our teachers, an ex-marine, showed us some more knife fighting technique. First weapon that is actually in our curriculum (kinda...we actually used a Shaolin-do form) was the short staff.

[Why_Worry]

First weapon was a butterknife then i graduated up to the steak knife then the big barbecue knife and poker prong thingies. I also play around with coat hangers after i take my gi off them and get dressed (provided i didnt just roll up my gi).

Otherwise i learned escrima sticks although technically i wasnt a high enough belt rank to start learning, but its confusing but no one else where i go really knows anything cause it was at a seminar from another dojo who we are associated with who does other weapons and some different ones. So we practiced for a while but then i was really the only person who kept on practicing at home so eventually i had to reteach part of the kata to some other people. But later in our curriculum after i get to a higher rank i will start learning bo and sai and tonfa.
