I am a pacifist too .. but my confidence in non-violence is bolstered by my belief that i would have all of you!
That is a very serious point I make; how much of victory is decided by the unspoken repertoire of 'confidence'?

Well naturally, suprise is the best strategy.
And learn how to use a baseball bat!

My weapon of choice would have to be Kendo Sticks.

I prefer either the bo staff,
(about 6 ft long)
Or simple knife. Quite handy in a pinch really.

I'd love to gather all the so-called "fighters" on here, gather them, stick them in a room and host a Battle Royale.
Last Man/Non-man standing wins!

As far as which martial arts weapon I am best with. It's the bo. As far as which weapon I like the best well that's a harder choice.

im good with a bo staff
but my winning weapons are the double daggers!
i had these two daggers that had dragon heads on them with like orange glowing eyes and you could put them together and they looked like a stick with two heads, one on each end.......the real secret is however, when you pull it apart.....KNIVES!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys,
5th dan Tae-Kwon-Do (Moo Duk Kwan)
1st dan Kung-Soo-Do Japanese Karate similar to Shoto-Kan
Weapons?
I used to be able to swing a three sectioned staff without hitting myself, As for actually hitting anybody else with it? Probably not.
I've played around with several other systems (in that I didn't recieve a black belt or instructor rank)
Wa- Do - Kai Aikido
Wing CHun Kung Fu
Strife I'm really impressed with the range of master rankings that you've racked up. How long did it take you? My fifth dan in TKD took over twenty years.

It's been 11 years-The rest was within the last 8 years- since I started TKD, from this guy named J.D. Rifkin(I mention his name cause he has some crappy movies from the 80's) As for mastery I wouldn't call myself a master, I know people who are better at forms than I, but I dislike forms.

So do I, but they are good for stances. But not much else.

i started of doing muy thai street fighting stuff with familly and friend of the familly then almost got my brown in american karate but i got fed up and i switched to chinese martial arts. i curently do a lot of southern stuff, sun style bagua, shaolin 5 animals, and a splash of shui jiao, long fist, traditional shaolin, taiji, a mix of othe stuff sifu happens to be teaching, and a hand full of weapons. i'm fairly close to getting my black belt in nan chaun type stuff but i need to get back to training hard. my sifu's test is pretty intense.
