parkerlineage Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 On a serious note I would choose a long pole or spear. Butterfly swords for close range.Oooh...I really like that combo!!

Ace2021 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Even though i'm proficient with a Bo, i'd have to say, if my life depended on it, a shield and shortsword.Kind of like someone said with the metal pole and knife, i'd use the shield to be hit, then get in close with the shortsword and do some damage.

A lot of people don't realize that the shield was just as much a weapon as the sword in the other hand. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerCrane Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would use the Kwan Doa or Tiger Fork for long range. Chinese Tiger Forks, if used properly, can effectively disarm an opponent's weapon(s). The Kwan Doa is just... powerful and scary. I would also carry a set of Butterfly Knives with me for short range. Gong Kiu, Yau Kiu, Bik Kiu, Jik Kiu, Fun Kiu, Ding Kiu, Chieun Kiu, Tai Kiu, Lau Kiu, Wan Kiu, Jai Kiu, Deng Kiu.

Syphax Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Considering that my life is on the line, I would use what works. Give me a hardwood staff and I'll do my damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I fight sword against spear, I find it difficult to defend against the reach and thrust. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niel0092 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I did a bit of sca so in this situation I'd like a shield and a gladius. Parry with the shield, bash it in the opponents face, stabity stabity stabity your way to victory I'd like to say a dagger and kali stick but I'm just not quite good enough with that yet.
