Your weapon of choice - Page 2

Sai. I'm actually going to buy some the next time I go by the shop that carries them around here.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 06-17-2013, 08:39 PM

Sais or Katana. Pretty much anything I could stab with.

Plus they're shiny.

Ch'redder · 06-17-2013, 11:28 PM

Either the dual katana or the bo staff.

Try not to stab yourself

twin ninja swords or the bo staff

Nunchuks are pretty cool, my favorite weapon aesthetics wise and also the main reason I usually pick Michelangelo in the TMNT Arcade/SNES/MD beat 'em ups. But when it comes to real life, I think the katanas would be the best choice for a beginner. Plus, they'd give me the illusion of being a swordsman. Who wouldn't want to be a swordsman?

I have a pair of sais and a bo staff. The sai are just a practice pair, and are not sharp at all. I got them to practice with back when I took Karate.

I would choose the sais as my weapon of choice any day

Kusarigama!

If I were to ever use any weapon I would chose the katana. I have always had a fancy for swords and a friend's father taught me the basics of fencing. I think I could handle the weapon if I got the proper trainning.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-04-2013, 12:54 AM

Fencing and Kenjutsu is a different ball game, but with some proper training it is quite easy to grasp

*Shark_Blade* · 07-04-2013, 01:51 AM

I might sliced myself with the katanas, or stabbed myself with the sais. So both are out of the question.

Nunchucks are really hard to use eventhough it looks cool.

I'd go with the bo staff -the added blade at the end makes a good javelin/spear. And since it's a long distance weapon, it's great for me since I'm not too good with short distance battles.

Well, you wouldn't be able to stab yourself with a real-Life sai, not without a lot of effort, anyway.

Aoreinoken · 07-04-2013, 09:04 AM

Me of course. The swords. Double Katana. I don't have money enough to buy real ones. So the Nerf ones are just gonna have to do.

Genesis · 07-04-2013, 09:11 AM

I used to get those hollow plastic tubes from a dollar store - y'know, the ones that make the weird bweeoop sound when turned to either side - throw out the little noisemaker inside, jam two of the tubes together and pretend it's a bo.

I started to learn nunckuku, it was fun but I didn't get to use them much than an hour.
I have always loved the sai and used those more than the 'chuks BUT I had to stop my lessons... I hope to continue it.

But I learned Shaolin Staff and I love using the staff. Mine is tappered, a larger end and a thinner end. I had a lot of fun using it and when we were allowed to spar, I got a partner who was going at it with me as well for real. She thanked me later 'cus neither of us held back. I had my staff in control and she knew what she was doing, so neither of us were hung up and hitting the other person.

Anyways I thought it was a lot of fun and after using it, I been able to use similar items as a weapon as well... from brooms to bed frames and smaller like pepper mills.

I still really want to learn the sai but I'm happy with the staff.
It's the mother of all weapons. Learning the staff is the lead-in to learning other weapons.

It's actually hard to stab yourself with sai. You would bruise yourself before stabbing yourself.
Nunchucks can cause serious injury with misuse, however.

Vi11AiN6 · 07-10-2013, 06:32 AM

As a martial artist I look for the most effective technique and NOT flashy moves.
The Katana would be my first choice, Mikey's Kusarigama
would be my second, Sai have some practical use.

I'd leave the chucks and bo in the sewers

Gyt Kaliba · 07-10-2013, 06:48 AM

If you asked me this back when I was a kid, I'd have said the katana - be it two of them or just one, either way - even though Raph was always my favorite back then. There's just something inherently badass about a sword, so TWO of them? That's hardcore there.

Nowadays though, I'd probably pick the bo staff. It's a weapon that doesn't often get it's due respect, but it's just as awesome, if not more so, than any sword. I've never trained with any weapon, but just messing around with brooms and stuff, I am fairly proficient at the spinning, so it'd definitely be my pick to see if I could actually get good with the weapon.

Funnily enough too, back when I took a karate class, we were going to start training with nunchaku if the class had continued long enough. I'm kind of glad it didn't in this one respect, cuz I can only imagine hurting myself badly with those damn things.

FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza · 07-10-2013, 12:32 PM

Nunchucks are also illegal so it's surprising to me that your school was going to train you with them.
'Chucks and the staff are both weapons you can still hurt yourself with.

My teacher often would explain that if the staff strikes you, do not be angry with the tool but with yourself. The staff is an extension of your body, and like any part of your body, you should always know where it is and what it's doing. If it hits you on the head, it's reminding you to pay attention.

I love the sai enough one of my female characters in my comic book uses them, and has them tattooed down her pelvis.
Like I said, I would love to continue to use them. I loved being able to use them offensively and defensively and spinning them around my fingers and changing stances accordingly.
