Dark Shogun Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 Sai for practicality, katana for enjoyment. (plus I keep a can of karate in my back pocket).

kitsune_no_tama Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 do we have to be able to use our favorite weapon? my favorite is the six coordinated staff, but i only know how to use bo jo and three sectionedit: i take that back. meridian axes and kwan dao my new favs "Karate is an art. It must be regarded as such with its entirety of philosophical thought and development of the mind in harmony with the body. If it isn't thought of this way it is valueless. It is like eating only the bitter skin of the apple while leaving the sweet inner meat untasted. It is this crucial premise that is being overlooked today, and if the tide is not turned, I must predict the demise of the art. "-Isao Obata
ProjectJanus Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 One of my favorite looking weapons would have to be the chain whip. There will always be the Jackie Chans and Jet Li's who will come along and dazzle us with their screen antics. But Bruce Lee was a seeker of knowledge, a true master of the fighting arts and philosophy.
parkerlineage Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 I know I've already posted on here, but I've learned a couple new weapons (bokken, dao, kama), and I have to say I'm leaning toward the dao as my fav. I did come within .04 of a 30/30 at a tournament with my sai, though, so I still love them.

McNerny Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Hey everyone, The two weapons I like the most are the bo and nunchaku. But, if I had to pick one, it would be the nunchaku. F-14's are pretty effective, too. A good technique is beautiful but a beautiful technique is not always good. -Hirokazu Kanazawa
