I've always hear that the bo is the most basic, fundamental, etc. of all weapons, but I am wondering if it is the oldest. I cannot think of any others that can really be older (assuming you are grouping the bo with the jo, hanbo, and Eskrima), as a simple tree branch or walking stick could be considered a bo.

Does anyone know if the bo is the oldest, and if not, which is?

Thanks

According to the Book of Genesis, it was a rock.

Some other traditions say it was a stick.

Either way, it wasn't long before someone put a rock on a stick.

If we really want to get nit picky the earliest weapon and still the most used weapon is the human mind. But existentialism aside, yes it was a rock or a stick.

Simple: Rock or club. Complex (as in, some assembly required) was probably a spear. Complex ranged was probably an atlatl.

Or if you believe 2001:a space odyssey. The first weapon was a bone.

That's got my vote, or as 'The Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy' say's "Keep banging the rocks together".

If you believe in an ideal. You don't own it ; it owns you.
