BlueDragon1981 Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 I think the bo is because it is close to a stick.
G95champ Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Ill agree the Bo is the most common. Pool sticks, brooms, mops, shovels, ski poles, etc. However the best weapon is always between your ears in a street fight. Know where you are and don't go there. If you do know who to get away. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Don Gwinn Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 Comfortable shoes and a handgun. Best for running, best for for fighting. Absolutely no question. Do you mean which weapon commonly studied in "martial arts" (traditional Oriental hand-to-hand training?) A very distant second is probably the stick or double stick the way it's taught in the Filipino arts. If you can use a stick, you can pick up anything from a chunk of firewood to a bottle to a piece of pipe and have a good chance. You can also carry an ASP extendable baton in some states (not mine) so you don't have to pick up litter. If you should find yourself with a knife, stick training will translate well. ____________________________________* Ignorant Taekwondo beginner.http://www.thefiringline.com
SaiFightsMS Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 I have to agree with G95 the most effective weapon lies between our ears. If we cannot use that one effectively no other weapon is going to do us much good.
searcher Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 I agree with G95 and Saifights on this one, if you are not mentally there you might as well pack it up and go home. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother."
BlueDragon1981 Posted July 12, 2002 Author Posted July 12, 2002 I know the mind is the best...I really ment what weapon is most likely to be adapted to what you can just pick up in an area. The Bo is like a pool stick and all that. That is what i ment. A martial arts weapon most likely to be adaptable.
Withers M.A.A. Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 A fist is the best weapon because you will always be armed with it. However, being realistic a firearm is your best bet. 2nd Degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. 1997 NASKA competitor-2nd place Nationally in Blackbelt American Forms. Firearms activist!
Eye of the Tiger Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 My self. No seriously the only weapon you should use or need to use is your self. But as this is the weapons forums I would have to say flame thrower or rocket launcher so I could eliminate large numbers of thugs at the same time.
Kensai Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 To bring back the post to reality, I would say a jo, more practical than a bo. And better for locking and throwing technqiues.
Don Gwinn Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 What is a jo? ____________________________________* Ignorant Taekwondo beginner.http://www.thefiringline.com
