KarateGirl1387 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Our school curriculum actually has us required to learn at least 1 form using the bo staff, so I guess that one was a given for me, hehe. (Plus, the bo is the most versatile weapon and I really like working with it!) After watching my instructors and some of the junior kids working with kamas I decided I wanted to learn those, too.

Jiffy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I always thought weapons were cool. Then when I started realising the benefits of weapons for Martial Arts it just became obvious. I was amazed at how well the open handed and weapon stuff went together and I was fascinated. Unfortunately, I don't really get enough time to practise with them, but it's fun on the off chance I do. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamasandSais Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Way back about 3 year sago i lved like a block from my instructors house and one day i was over there i saw my freind James doing one of the kama katas (Kuzushi Dai). and it looked really cool. so i started kamas and finished them .Also about two years ago my dad went to California for a week. when he came back he brought me some sais. i wanted to learn how to use em so i went to my instructors house anad ask them if i could sign up for a Sai class. another completed weapon. i dont know how i started bo staff though... im about halfway done with that weapon maybe in another year or 2.then ill have to change my name to kamasSaisandbostaff "Sword-Chucks yo."Yes, thanks a lot guys.

alsey Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 i remember thinking something along the lines of 'man, sword fighting looks cool'. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
