What's in your Martial Arts inventory?


Recommended Posts

I thought I would ask what everyone has as far as Martial Arts equipment goes. I am sure that the school owners will most likely have more equipment than most, but I noticed that I have quite a bit laying around the house, and thought it would make a good topic.

My inventory:

1 Powerline free standing bag

1 old stretching machine

3 clapper pads

2 square target pads

1 rubber training knife

1 rubber band gun w/ammo

1 set of nunchaku (that I rarely use. It even has the safety foam.)

4 kicking shields

4 rattan swords

2 wooden round shields

1 metal heater shield

2 rattan axes

1 rattan polearm

1 suit of armor (upper body only)

1 helm

1 set of foot/shin pads

2 sets of hand/forearm pads (1 set for the weapons fighting)

1 set of knee pads (for the weapons fighting)

1 chest protector

1 headgear

Cross, I too have from time to time used the motorcycle helmet for training purposes. Nothing says "elbow your partner in the head as hard as you can" like a helmet does :)

It is a great tool, and one overlook often. For self defense simulations at full power I haven't found much that's better.

For my part at least, I should thank Paul Vunak for pounding all his training partners like that in an old 80's training video that I saw during my formative years. Probibly scarred me for life.

You and me, both. It may not be the real thing, but it is a blast. Oh, to get those training days back...

I also forgot to mention a small hanging bag that I noticed in the basement.
