I'm pretty fond of Tekko. They're incredibly easy to manipulate and can be deadly if used correctly. They're super fast and hurt a ridiculous amount.

I'm beginning to like Sai more and more as I get more comfortable with them. They're increasing my hand and wrist dexterity which I hope will help me with the more advanced kama kata.

Another thing I like about tekko is that you can keep at least one with you at all times and if anyone asks you can say that it's a napkin holder :wink: Honestly though, as a 19 year old female college student...I'm thinking about putting a tekko in my backpack next semester. They're small and fast.

I've been training a LOT of tonfa lately and it continues to amaze me how awesome this weapon is. I wish we did a lot more with it in Kyokushin.

I like the sai, and I have an ongoing fascination with the Eaku. I seriously need to find a teacher when I'm back in the US.

my fave weapons are bo staff and katana... I have made my own bo staff and have bought a copy of the katana used in the movie The Last Samurai :)

Staff is very practical, it has many uses besides fighting... and I heard that katana is the most perfect sword (even if that is not true, it would still be my #1 blade) :)

For traditional weapons i'd have to say either the Katana, the Dao, or the Jian. For normal i'd say a pocket knife, standard folding blade.

What is a tekko?

There are a couple different kinds. I don't know if this is the one the OP was talking about, but my favorite one is the horseshoe based tekko.
