What do you like in weapons

[Sohan]

That's the one issue I have with my traditional MA training--where's the practicality? Most of the weapons or their equivalents that I train with aren't likely to be used in real action unless I'm a cop or soldier. My knife, however, may indeed save my life someday.

Respectfully,

any weapon?

I'd like a bowie knife, a set of brass knuckles, and a handgun. I wouldn't ever carry any of them, but i'd like to own them.

if i wanted something for self defense i might take a stun gun or something.

I am more proficient with the Bo, but I do prefer using the sword.

[Aodhan]

For kata, sword and kama.

For fun, bo staff.

For combat, escrima and knife. They are the most likely to be available somewhere that you can carry or pick up off the street.

Nunchaku and Kama are my favorites. Bo is becoming a close second to those.

they still do.

the average stun gun is WAY over rated. I wouldn't rely on them for self defense.

Not a stun gun, I agree, but a Taser is second only to a firearm IMO.

I would prefer to learn the quarterstaff (European/English style), and the escrima stick.

I noticed that only two of you picked a weapon that you can carry around with you...

Great observation! Before I get too much older I think that I am going to find someplace that can teach me to use a walking cane as a weapon though....just in case. But...the more I think about it I would not want the cane taken away from me and used on me in my old age...
