I've actually become quite proficient with smaller throwing knives. I can stick a well balanced knife into a target rather well anywhere from 5-20 feet. After that any good hit would really be a lucky shot. Even taken time to learn drawing it from its sheath on my belt and throwing.

For what its worth, though, I wouldn't throw it without utter assurance of its actually landing. The person is unaware I'm behind them, for instance. Otherwise, it'd just turn into a big akward stabbing match... but I prefer that over throwing them a weapon and missing [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/IMG]

my favorite weapon is the sword...
to be specific the giant blade(6ft long and weigh 70 pounds). And it's not a joke...

My fav. weapon would have to be Kibo. We live around water and it can come in handy!

i'll say my favorite is double katana, or single but im quite efficient with both. honestly my setup if it came down to a large battle would be a nodachi and odachi in hand, great katana on lower back, katana on right hip, and katana and wakazashi on left hip. and do not think this is too much or that its stupid because it works quite well for me considering i've trained since i was 6

i'd have to say an apache longbow loaded up with about 116 unguided fear rockets

yeah point and click baby
jk

for real though I love the naginata and yari because fighting with a spear and fighting with a bo staff are not all that different and i think the bo is the best anti-sword weapon (aside from the firearm that is)

Trained in what? Care to explain how you would use a 67" odachi with one hand while sporting a kodachi with the other? How old are you?

A 6' tampered bo staff is my weapon of choice.

i didn't say kodachi i said nodachi and odachi. those two are the longest japanese swords one used as a katana the other used to take out cavalry, kodachi in my opinion is useless to my way of fighting. before you ask another his age you might want to introduce yourself first and how you've been trained

My favourite weapon is the katana, I like it mainly because of the speed they can be moved at, like in iaidojutsu and battojustsu. Sadly I can't do these effectivly only kendo and kenjutsu really (and I can't do them very well either ^^) I also like tonfa, hand knives (or things similar) bo( or jo which ever's shorter I can never remember) and sai. My sister (who does TKD) likes nunchakus - she can't use them though lol!

sorry if im being brash but i don't like it when people come off as they're questioning me that way, especially by asking me how old i am thinking that if they might be older than i am that they might be correct, but i don't believe this is the case
