Where did the Turtles' weapons came from?

Actually, all of those "weapons" except for the swords started out as farm tools used by the Okinawans before Japan invaded the island.

Sai = pitchforks

Nunchackus = used in beating down rice patties

Bo = stick used for carrying water buckets

And I'll include some others as well:

kama = sickle

tonfa = crank for meat grinder


If you're wondering where I got that info, I learned all that stuff when I was in karate camp a long time ago.
