benedictbm Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 well, at our school we have the National BlackBelt Club. That is where we do our weapons. You can be nominated at green belt or higher (4 out of 10 blets) this give the instuctor time to see if you are ready to use weapons.

Kyle-san Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 In my Wing Chun class we can learn Butterfly swords and long staff. There's a seminar coming up in a month that teaches the basics of Butterfly swords, costs $125 and lasts for a day. Anyone can sign up seeing as it's just the basics being covered.
fungku Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 We learn weapons after we show a little competency, usually after a few months, when after you learn basic stances, and start building a strong foundation, weapons training goes hand in hand with the rest of the training. --- fungku --- Visit Shaolin, Chinese Martial Arts - I don't fear the 10,000 techniques you've practised once, I fear the one technique you've practiced 10,000 times. -
