Once again, I say its up to the situation. 9 times out of 10 though, I would choose a firearm of somesort. Maybe a rocket launcher if the distance is given. Lol. But in what reality are you ever going to play with that stuff? I personally dont expect to get mugged with a wakizashi anytime soon. Then again, some of my sempai look at me funny- lol-jk

[ShinobiKenjutsu]

Well , Kendo website , Kendo forum , Kendo ppl , so its has to be the M16

geeeeeeezAfter training in kenjutsu for many years of my life, I'd have to say my favorite is the Squad Automatic Weapon

[mystic_kendoka]

u have trained for many years of your life, and that is how precise you can be? dont u have a name for it? or what kind of weapon it is? for all we know it could be a multi barelled, rotating dobari carbon shinai...

[ShinobiKenjutsu]

http://www.counter-strike.de/history/images_weapons/weapons-mg-para_1.jpg

HURRRR!

[ShinobiKenjutsu]

In all seriousness, I train with (when training in kenjutsu) both a standard Ken, or use twin Wakizashi, and the corresponding waza.

I'm working on my adeptness with the Tai Chi sword currently.

[mystic_kendoka]

i used to do a double sided chinese spear in korea... not for long though... i have the spear, but its not in belgium, coz my mom wouldnt let me send it from korea to belgium...

i think its my favorite weapon... that i possess right now anyway.... i'd kill for a wakizashi or iaito... mom doesnt allow it...

you probably think im a loner dont u... *crawls back into hole..*

[ShinobiKenjutsu]

i used to do a double sided chinese spear in korea...
Waxwood? Did you train in Songham or traditional taekwondo? I know they borrow alot of Wushu weaponry in Songham.

[mystic_kendoka]

i did taekwondo for some years, but the spear has nothing to do with taekwondo...

i went to a dojo in inchon, korea... it was wushu i think.. everyone called it kungfu because wushu is not very commonly known, but my father says its wushu... (my cousin is a 19year old 3rd dan... im soo proud of him :> )

it was a about 2m long straight poled spear, with a long straight blade about 40cm long, it had a rounded tip... thats all i can say..

[Kenshin Himura]

http://www.counter-strike.de/history/images_weapons/weapons-mg-para_1.jpg

HURRRR!

:-( I miss counter-Strike!

[mystic_kendoka]

[litige]

why? you dont have it any more?


No :-( lost it in the process of losing my computer...never got it back.

well i've played it not long ago on Xbox, but it was rented, so i had to give it back.

[fukung]

Is the Nunchaku a traditional weapon in Kendo or does it belong to Kung Fu? Im looking for an appealing marshal art to adopt, the idea of hurting myself regularly for simple masculing pride is becoming more intriguing as Im getting older.:paranoid: Ive spoken to a few people and they recomended Kendo?

[mystic_kendoka]

1. The nunchaku are NEVER used in kendo.
2. The term nunchaku is the name for the japanese 'flail', kung fu is a chinese martial art.
3. The nunchaku (along with the bo, sai, tonfa and kama) are commonly used in kobudo, if you're interested in using 'cool' weapons like that, kobudo might be more your thing than kendo.

Have a nice day :)

[drizzt]

i though nunchuka were actualy a western invention(taken from and older style weapon)

[Ignatz]

If my mom gets me the Lone Ranger Bogu for christmas, I'm going to start using one of those tontos

[Musha]

You know the samurai made an art and kata for almost all weapons they carried. If you make a kata for your martial art and send it to use you might get a prize and it shown on Japanese TV and you will receive your art soke certificate.

Worms’s sheep jutsu

1) Start with sheep in hands both uchi dachi and shidachi sit on there sheep and bow.

2) Uchidachi with sheep on back takes five steps and sheep jumps to attack shidachis men.

3) Uchidachis sheep kiais the sound (baa) and jumps on shidashi.

4) Shidachi side steps and sheep uchidachis men.

5) Uchidashi releases his sheep and exploades on defenseless Uchidachi.

Seriously who actually does practice another weapons art other than the kendo renmei arts with kendo? I know the nunchaku suburi and learned jodo for a with aikido. What is bodo?

[ScottUK]

Hmm, a kendo forum and the poll is 'what weapon do you use'...

It is with a certain level of frustration I feel that idiocide is not only justifiable, but necessary... :tired:

[ShinKenshi]

just shinai. how is pronouce actually? Shin ai or shi nai ? :confused2 It's pronounced shi-nai.

I just stick with my shinai and bokuto. Although I'm contemplating taking up kyudo since I know a godan kyudo-ka,

[Rurouni Kenshin]

Nothing beats a nice spoon........... best invention ever m8

[mystic_kendoka]

sporks are better, digging and forking abilities r4wk

[yohed55]

There's pretty much a lot of gangs at my school, one of them wanted me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

[Mowvran]

My favourite sword is still a copy of a 17C basalard made for me by a very skilled swordsmith

[mystic_kendoka]

basalard? i assume u mean a bastard sword?

[Paburo]

just... why on earth isn't frying pan on the list? it's kinda my favourite too.

and whoever came up with this thread.... nice touch there mispelling 'tantô' mate.... you wrote 'tonto' instead, a word that in spanish means FOOL

[Joehannah]

Shania and bokuto, but I like naginata and jo... baseball bat is good too though :D

[iam_pk]

obviously its iaito n bokken~

[rottunpunk]

i like those ninja claw'y things like in azumi-gimme some of them and they'd be my main weapon of choice-mucho damage

i got a pair of nunchaku for a present once, they ended up attacking me-i think they are possessed-nothing to do with my lack of skill or owt-hurhur.

sword is bestest though
:p

[Moe-Swordsaint!]

concrete donkey... anybody here play worms? lol

Worms ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! one of my all time fav's :D

[kanyil]

Well, I guess this would be more appropriate for the guys who are into nito-ryu.

I'll try that one on my next class. If I can't defeat my mates with them, I'm sure laughing will XD


Katana for me. Thou I've also started to practice shooting with bow, quite interesating (but no, not kyudo, that's horribly tough to find here >_< )

[Gemini_Bloodian]

I practice mainly with the katana, but I have recently bought two different variants of bo-staff, and have been practicing with those as of recently. I plan on buying shurikens (yes, I'm a nerd), so I'll be practicing with those one I aquire them.

Right... I'm assuming you "practice" with a wallhanger? And what exactly is this "dragon-style" martial arts?

[kuzu70]

I plan on buying shurikens (yes, I'm a nerd), so I'll be practicing with those one I aquire them.

Gemini_Bloodian

Yea, I used to play with shuriken when I was in grade school!!

[Mowvran]

basalard? i assume u mean a bastard sword?

Sorry mis spelt Baselard ( side arm of Swiss mercenary 14th - 17 th Century) balanced to perfection and stilll my favourite sword

[Xeraphim]

shinai for regular kendo practice,
bokken for kendo-kata.

wouldn't really recommend to try and use any kind of weapon without proper instruction, you'll only end up hurt/dismembered/etc.

[Darax The Good]

Glok wasn't an option?

[rottunpunk]

as in the musical instrument similar to a xylophone?
:p

[Xeraphim]

as in the musical instrument similar to a xylophone?
:p

the ultimate head-wacking tool! :ninja:

[rottunpunk]

which one the xylophone or the glockenspiel? wouldnt all the notes fall off?
hehe :p

prefer the clawy thingys myself.
anyone know what they are called?
not into ninjutsu, but they are rather groovy
:p

[Xeraphim]

The unofficial names are Neko Claws (Cat Claws?) and "those cool things Wolverine has in his hands"

[rottunpunk]

aye thats the ones. cheers dude
:p

[kuzu70]

I prefer the walking cane with the hidden katana blade inside.

[Oni King]

I trained Ninjutsu and trained with a han bo. Well I used to be in the army and had a rifle and a sidearm :D and used it for gun practice and had some kickbox training so I used my hands. After my army period I did some Aikido (only for a short while) and again used my hands and my enemies energy :P and now I use the devine Shinai (finally)

[Hyaku]

Hmm, a kendo forum and the poll is 'what weapon do you use'...

It is with a certain level of frustration I feel that idiocide is not only justifiable, but necessary... :tired:

Not only that but he included Tonto. He's the guy on the right with The Lone Ranger. http://www.endeavorcomics.com/largent/randt.GIF
