MY ONLY WEAPON IS MY MIND.

In all seriousness, I've not been trained in any weapons.
I've wanted to pick up chucks & the bo for the longest time, though I dunno if that day will ever come.
Not a fan of guns.

azrael · 04-18-2011, 08:51 AM

I feel ya on the gun thing.

The bo is the grandfather of weapons I would honestly start there. I mean for an alternative, broom handles, closet dowels, even a nice sized branch I can recommend some videos, I could explain it but without pics its hard to understand.

*AT-Man* · 04-18-2011, 10:40 AM

I've only been trained to use an assault rifle in the army, along with the NSV machine gun and some explosives, mines and grenades. Haven't been any training in my free time whatsoever, if you don't count the "nunchucs" and "bo staffs" I made as a kid.

*Candy Kappa* · 04-18-2011, 10:57 AM

I'm a member of Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu. (Norway Kakudokan, Honbu Dojo.)

So I have some knowledge with Bokken, Iaito and Bo.

Don't care so much of "self taught" so I'm not gonna list that up since it don't count in my opinion.

When I say self taught I dont mean when your a kid playing around with sticks in the back yard. I mean actually studing the art and weapon.

Why wouldnt you consider it? The reason I ask this is because

1.) They all began that way.
2.) Even if your at a Dojo with an Instructor the lesson is still self taught.

Not arguing just getting a more "in-depth" view.

Self taught people are often in the backyard using sticks. The stick might have been changed to a Paul Chen Ninja sword or ninja stars from some cheap online store, and they might be following a Stephen Hayes book or mimics something they have seen in a movie or heaven's forbid something they have seen on youtube.

In a Dojo, you will get the proper training, step-by-step how to do the techniques and you can get the much needed critique and fix errors that will appear without supervising. Books and instructional videos will not give the "extra flavor" that are only taught within the walls of each Dojo of the different schools.

*Eiko* · 04-18-2011, 06:24 PM

I don't have any weapons training. But my Brother has been taught to use the Bo.

rufus · 04-18-2011, 06:33 PM

Butterfly knife, if that counts, other than than, no other weapons training in anything.

*Redeemer* · 04-18-2011, 06:36 PM

The only weapon training I have recieved it with guns
22 rifle is my favorite to fire, bc it shows ur skills as a marksman
I have also been taught a little about self defense and knife fighting not that good or experienced at it, but I hope to learn "Kaw Megov" (Damn butchered the hell out of that...) this summer. Its also known as the Israely Defense.

Growing up in the suburbs of NJ, I never saw the need to pursue any weapons training. However, I am able to use most handguns, pump-action shotguns and bolt-action rifles.

I've trained in these weapons for years:
Katana - Iaido and Batto
Shuriken
Nunchaku
Sai (Ni Cho Zai)
Shuko
Fukiya
Kusari Fundo

I really want to know how to use the Bo staff. I just love the look of the various kata being performed with it.
