someone said wolverine was overrated and i'd have thought you'd have something to say about the nunchaku thing...personally im a fan of weapons like the escrima sticks cuz of their speed and the sword cuz...well its a classic...

Eh, I've heard it a million times from one of my cosins anyway.
I like the bo-staff, Nunchucks, Stars, and the Bouken( I actualy used to have one.) and sword. My brother has about tweny or so different kinds. As well as nunchucks and chinese stars.
Mostly, I'm a fan of the Bo-staff and speed-chucks.

yeah my freind got me a bokken so we could have little matches and since i have a thing for escrima sticks i know a bit about swordsmanship considering the creator wanted to make his art usable for sword or stick fighting and of course it includes empty handed defense against the weapons
and speed chucks?

Speen chucks are nunchucks made of heavy metal so the go reeeeealy fast and hurt ALLOT. They usualy come in black. They're cool!

that is pretty cool y'know my jiu-jitsu instructer has a set of metal escrima/kali sticks...try swinging those around then pick up a wooden one lol
and on teh subject of the bo staff i like it but i prefer the jo (short staff) its smaller yes but while it has less reach that means it can be manuvered faster since you dont have all that weight to move around
hmmm the discussion seems to have turned from the turtles to ancient weapons...yeah but i'll say this for weapons in general i always prefer the elegant ones...not like the mace or the flail...well if you can show me an elegance to the use of either then i'll appriciat them

Yeah. Same here. I like weapons that can be manuvered gracefully. I prefer a longer staff. It gives me more leverage so I can block a strick with my opponents stick and then quickly use the other end to sweep his legs out from underneath em'. Plus, if you can handle it right, you can keep your opponents at a safe distance.

thats true although the kali stick is so much faster (in my opinion at least) that you might possibly be able to get close enought to simply smash their hand they wont hold the staff very much longer after that

True...but if you keep them at a distantce and can control your ground, they won't be able to get AT you with the Kali sticks.

yea they did say the katana was the greatest cuz of the history and how great the wapone was and because of other stuff but they said the hardest to master was the sectional weapones...i happen to think wolvie is overrated but that is yust me..and i know i'm saying this and like a million billion comic fans would burn me for saying it

*sets deathfromwithin on fire*
Don't take it personally, I've either set on fire, blown up, or hit with a sledgehammer just about everyone on this site, it lets you know that you're a real member. And anyone will agree, saying something like that around me you left yourself wide open for that one. ;D Love the sig btw.
I tend to like sighs and katanas, now you can really ignore that since my only experience with weapons is Soul Caliber/Blade games. >.< I like the quickness of both, and how sighs can be used to attack with both the blade and the handle.
