I voted for Nunchaku.

Same here.

 

I voted for nunchaku because They are easily consealable and if used properly can have an overwhelmingly huge effect.

Bo, because you can find it anywhere.

I've voted for sai, because you can conceal it up your sleve, until sutch a time as you can stab your opponent in.... vital areas.

[angiewinter]

the sai is a very usefull weapon, IF you know how to use it!!

[Tobias_Reece]

Nope, sorry TS757

 

The sai are a difficult weapon to use, be it in the street or in the dojo.

 

They were designed to be used against swords, but as you're not going to encounter a sword in the street, (maybe a knife, but the nunchkau can deal with that), so that cancels out that.

 

Compared to nunchaku, the sai are a lot harder to do damage with, as are easier to block/evade.

 

Also, the nunchaku has the psychological advance. If you perform a continuous figure-eight swing, then the opponent is gunna be scared.

 

My 2 cents

 

 

[ts757]

good point

[iamrushman]

i vote for other because my choice is the cane a very practical weapon. due to the fact that it is assumed that the person with a cane has some sort of affliction or is handicapped, giving them the upper hand from the start.. it also works as a short staff with a hook. and it needs no concealed weapons permit to be carried and can be carried in the open.

 

 

[PortAdian]

I say kama, ok nunchau's r good but they don't really do much damage,

 

And a bo? can't really hid that in your pocket and the is way 2 noticable.

 

And then there is a sai witch is practically a VERY heavy knife, but only good for stabbing .

 

But kamas on the other hand have good reach. So you can slice em or chop em. Plus they conceal very well and u can throw them

 

 

that's my skit of a fight

[Patrick]

lol that was good Adian
