mastertae Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 what are your favorite weapons in shotokan? Is it not easier to strike a mountain than it is to strike a fly!
Tobias_Reece Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 From pictures that I have seen ,Funikoshi used weapons when he practiced. However, no weapons were ever brought into the Shotokan syllabus (by the major associations) I practice weapons under the name of Matayoshi Okinawan Kobudo Favourite - dunno, but I've just started using the tsun kuwa , which are quite fun "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

SaiFightsMS Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 There are some articles about Shotokan and weapons and Funakoshi and the bo in the Journal of Shotokan Research. Sorry I don't have the link right now. It got lost when my hard drive had to be wiped out and restarted. My favorite weapons are the bo and the sai. I have also trained and hold 5th kyu rank in tonfa and nunchaku.
