i dont know about weapons but eskrima/arnis(i think theyre the same thing) is probably one of the best weapon style.

A knives is your best weapon on the streets, I carry a knive on me all times. I have a Smith and Wesson neck knive with a fixed blade, it's real light and handy. I haven't used it in a fight or self-defense situation yet and hope I never do but it's always there just in case. I found a pic of my knive for you to see!

Most MA people I talk to seem to think the Bo (staff) is the most applicable, because they are readily available in many situations and very effective not letting the opponent get in close.

 

However I kind of agree with some of the notes here. You are far more likely to be using your fists and feet due them being available all the time.

Kali/arnis is pretty good

Well if you got into a street fight any weapon would be better then nothing. But I agree A bo would be the bet if you know how to use one well without getting serious injury.

A Bo?

 

Where you gonna get a Bo if your in a restaurant, dance club, mall, school, walking outside, walking in a parking lot? The best weapon for the streets is a knife without a doubt.

Restaurant - tray stand

 

dance club - chair

 

mall - cane from The Walking Co.

 

outside - a big stick

 

parking lot - o.k. maybe you got me. or maybe a tire iron

 

 

Yeah, o.k. I know they aren't a bo. But my point is that you can apply the techniques you learn from the bo (our first weapon) to almost all other weapons. So, you may not be able to carry one with you, but you can still benefit from learning it.

If you read my post again I said a Street fight not a resturant fight or a dance fight or mall fight etc... By the way the topic is about you get in a street fight not in any kind of fight (why don't you make a topic about getting in a fight anywhere what the best weapon would be? Just a suggestion) because then there would be better weapons then Bo to use if it wasn't a street fight it depends where you are.

Lets not forget pool cues, those are great "bo" related weapons You'll find objects around all the time that bo techniques can be applied too, as KSN pointed out, this way you can apply what you know to the environments around you without having to carry a weapon around all the time.
