What weapon do you think is most practical to a street fight


Recommended Posts

A jo is a short staff.

 

Usually when someone says bo, they mean rokushakubo (6ft staff).

 

Usually when someone say jo, they mean yonshakubo/whatever...... (4 ft staff)

 

Hope this helps

When I work Bo's and Jo's in class 90% of my students use Mops or Brooms. Saves up money having to buy them. Then it lets us get used to working with something not balanced.

The most effective weapon is a pair of well trained hands. Can't be banned, confiscated, disarmed, or checked at the door. Won't get you arrested for carrying. Ready at an instant.

 

Carrying a weapon is not a realistic option for most people in modern civilized society. Maybe things are a bit different over in the US... :bigwink:

 

BTW if you use a knife like a stick you miss out on the best (most lethal) techniques. A stick only inflicts damage on impact - a knife can continue to cut, slash and rip as it moves along the body, also stab, or stab then slash (ouch!).

In the film A Clockwork Orange, Alex (the film's lead and humble narrator) had a walking stick that contained a hidden knife. I thought that was a very versatile weapon.

 

I would like to see one of those which also incorporated stun-gun technology (like a cattle prod) Now THAT would be useful for a grumpy old man! :lol:
