Shang_Jone_Ja Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I have actually learned or am in the process of learning a lot of different weapons. At the top of my list is the Katana. That is the one I am concentrating most on right now. My signature list all the other weapons that I train with. Weapons that I love to train with: Katana, Nunchuks, English Long Sword, French Rapier, Throwing knives, Arming Sword, Bo Staff, and English Broad Sword, and Guns.Pain is the best instructor, but nobody likes to go to his class
Crimson_Lotus Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I think we'll be starting Bo Staff basics within the next couple of months... "The more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in battle." - Motto of the Navy Seals

shudokaratemomma Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I just started an oar kata, meaning last week. I have learned 3 bo kata, but learning the oar is proving to be a bit difficult for me. Maybe I am "thinking" about it too much. I enjoy learning weapons, so far having learned one sai kata, one tonfa kata, and the 3 bo kata. I would tell you the name of the oar kata, but I am embarrassed to say I can't remember the name right now. The family that kicks together, sticks together!
Crimson_Lotus Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Well, we've been doing staff for a little bit now. I love it...just have to get accustomed to hand placement "The more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in battle." - Motto of the Navy Seals
still kicking Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 shudokaratemomma -- If you like bo, you will probably really enjoy the oar, AKA kaibo or eiku. You are right, it is a little harder, because it is not symmetrical. It is obvious which end is the oar end, but not so obvious, when doing a kata, which side of the blade should be facing out. I like it because it has more weight than the bo, so you can generate more power.We do not do a lot of different weapons in our school, but have a lot of weapons kata. We only do bo, sai, kaibo, and tonfa at this time. The first 3 kaibo kata we do are kaibo ten no kata, kaibo jiin no kata, and kaibo chi no kata. These are for 1st kyu, shodan-ho, and shodan respectively. There are some others, but I haven't learned them yet. Have fun!
