Mine teaches Bo, nunchucu, coma, tonfa, and sai.

If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.


Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Nunchaku was a rice flail.

 

Tonfa was a handle of something agricultural, but I can't remember what...

 

Sai someone told me was a tool for making holes in the ground to put seeds in, though I'm not too convinced.

 

Bo and Jo are just staves - they could have been used for walking, been the handles of farming tools (spade, rake, hoe) or come from assorted other sources I guess.

Currently: Kickboxing and variants.

Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.

hiya Guitar_lover.. fellow Brit!

 

I think it's an England thing.. very few dojos here seem to teach weapons, whereas in US it seems like everywhere does! :)

 

I am learning Bo and Sai off my own back, with the help of my Sempai, but my Wado club does not study weapons AT ALL :(

 

I went to a specific Iaido club to learn the samurai sword. My instructor was ex European Iaido champion which was amazing and very humbling experiance! Some of those guys trained with live blades (I have a blunt Iaito much safer :D)

 

Yes most of the Okinawan weapons were previously farming implements.

 

Kama, sickles to cut crops.

 

nunchuku - rice flailers.

 

Tonfa - handles of rice grinding stones.

 

Sai - This is a disputed one, anything from rice seed planters to Budhist symbols. Certainly a good weapon against other weapons such as Bo and Sword.

 

I guess the Bo and Jo are pretty universal, many cultures have used sticks for fighting.

 

Then there is also the Eku (oar) and many others.

And if you are interested in doing some weapons in the UK, check out this site for Kendo, Iaido and Jodo.
