Adding weapons to my karate training Tips

[Jordan95]

I'm a 1st dan black belt in wado ryu and am thinking of starting to learn some weapon skills. I'm a smaller build and was wondering what people would recommend in Weapons or forums. Thanks for your time

Consult with your sensei first; that'll be the best advice that I can give you for now. Your sensei, imho, should always be your first contact.

Having said that, the Bo is where I'd start.

Good luck and train hard!!

I would definitely ask your sensei, but I, personally, would start with the bo as well. It is easy to apply karate body mechanics to it, it feels fairly natural, and the grip changes are a good introduction to weapon manipulation.
