Only Chinese weapon I use is the straight sword, although it is my favorite.

Don't waste time with the "this weapon is no match for this weapon" argument. That's one thing that made the Discovery Chanell XMA documentary quite bad; its elementary. Also, I don't think a weapons sparring division, chanbara or otherwise, gauges the effectiveness of a classical weapon.

I like a good solid Parker rollerball pen, preferably with a metal casing. Far more useful than a kubotan - at least you can write with it.

a nice 22 inch eskrima stick. or better yet a bolo.

I prefer the bo staff.I can take it on a walk and I won't get hasseled. You can't exactly carry a sword around or nunchucks. [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/IMG]
Other than that my desert eagle .40 s&w [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif[/IMG]

Nobody here thinks soft weapons (other than the nunchucks) are cool?

I remember when I got to see my cousin practicing the rope and dart when I was younger... to date I still think that's one of the coolest looking weapons around. The whipchain's an interesting weapon as well.

as weapons goes, the beretta 92FS in chrome is soooo beautiful hehe

but melee weapon I prefere medieval swords, they are just so manly, feels good to hold a 2handed sword that is 160cm(64inches) and weild it with one hand with out a problem
*grins*

then knuckle irons is a favorite, or a knuckle ring

if I had to choose a MA weapon it would prolly be the one that is a long stick and at the end of it there is a sword, wanted to buy for sometime now but the prices for nice looking ones goes for 600euro and up [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif[/IMG]

after that I would choose Katana, as I am a sword freak it would be nice to have my in my collection, there are some swords that were taken from prisoners of WW2 that were sold on a swedish buy/sell sell sight, but fealt 500 euro was too much, which it is not, they are real katanas given to the higher ranks of the soldiers of japan

oh well there might be another chance to buy a real katana

or I will just have to be rich and buy one from those ppl that make them how, chen something I belive his name is, and the one I want goes for 5000euro [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif[/IMG]

my two favorites are nunchaku and staff (bo or jo)

do you people think a weapon as a tool or as an extension o your body(like me). ?
