[thai_boxer_no.1]

would u say that martial arts involving weapons is better than a martial art involving non?? and would u recamend 2 some one 2 start a weapon art??

Depends on your interests.. In Thai boxing being able to fight with a 3-sectional staff won't help much. Pretty much anywhere but in training that won't help much. But it is fun, and I do it.

 

SOme weapons are more practical then that though,

 

Doesn't matter, I have fun with and with out so I do both.

I think a plain ol bo is great. don't get me wrong, chucks are my fave, and sais are flashy, but are you gonna find a pair of chucks on the ground when you want to fight.

 

On the other hand, a broomstick, or branch, or something shaped like a bo is likely to be found. Plus, a wide range of styles use the bo staff. Most karate schools for sure.

 

It's like our master says, if you want a weapon, buy a gun, but if you want to better yourself and learn grace and coordination, buy martial arts weapons.

Well, in a bar fight, a pool stick could be used as a bo or you could break it in two for escrima sticks. Most of these weapons came from Japanese and Chinese farming equipment. If you want to take a weapon art, do it but make sure you don't hurt yourself or ne thing. I prefer bokken or sword.

[chuck_girl]

yeah...pool stick.....I never thought of that.

[KaratekaAikidoist]

well, most people wouldn't. There are tons of things you can use as weapons.

Like rocking chairs?

 

j.k.

[KaratekaAikidoist]

You could do that. Just rip off some wood parts. LOL

[chuck_girl]

Actually, I'd love to see Jackie chan fight with a rocking chair sometime. I can see it now, "shanghai chair!" lol.
