Sohan Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 The boat oar thread got me thinking. What's the oddest weapon you've ever trained with? For me, it was, and I'm not kidding, a carrot. A seminar speaker, explaining the value of using ordinary household implements as weapons, produced from his bag a carrot, then in all seriousness attempted to show us the many benefits of utilizing a piece of produce as a weapon. We really thought it was a joke, initially, until we realized he was dead serious. It was rather difficult to keep a straight face until the end of the demonstration.I wonder if he was a big Monty Python fan.

lordtariel Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 That's cool! I haven't really used anything crazy as an improvised weapon, mostly sticks and such, but my friend bought this steel reinforced 3 foot stuffed moose that was sturdy enough for someone to use it as a bench. He then got a video on using a bench as a weapon like in the jackie chan movies and is currently trying to learn moose-fu. There's no place like 127.0.0.1

GOM Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Hehe...moose. I sometimes use my wife as a weapon. She is small enough to pick up and twirl around, so if we are in a self defense situation, I know I will be able to pick her up, and use her body as a shield and strike with her. She doesn't know it yet, but I do....

That's hystarical!I think for me it was a plate and spatchula (sp?) also for a self defense class..Although keys and a credit card is pretty sweet too!~BBB Training 14 yearsKalkinodo Blackbelt

elbows_and_knees Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 The most unique non-weapons I've ever been shown to use are keys and credit cards. My favorite is a small, tactical flashlight.
