Aunty into dangerous weapons...

[Arris]

Just bought a set of replica Samurai swords (doing a Japanese theme in my bedroom). Doing a Mural of "The Great Wave" on my wall. And when I was browsing I came across this site.

I know Aunty does some martial arts but didn't know she was into weaponary as well

I bought a bokken(104 cm, red oak) for my Aikido training via internet 3-4 days ago, and my bedroom is jap-themed... Loving it. Simplicity is just great.

Edit: On the same site(swedish) you can also buy sharp steel daitos, six-foot sharp spears, heavy sabers etc... Crazy.

My Japanese grandfather has a set of katana swords in his living room that my brother and I would always try to play with as kids - but we weren't allowed to take them out of their sheaths.

I have a pair of WW2 japanese officer class A uniform swords. They emulate a delicate curved western blade except that the tips are katana blunt points.

You do? Where are they? I don't recall seeing them

And I have a gun.

Seriously, I've always wanted a broadsword. Never talked myself into spending the cash for a good one, and there is no point (pun not intended) in having a cheap one. I was in fencing club in college, foil and sabre, but I always wanted to figure out one of those long heavy suckers. I don't know how anyone else feels, but I've always thought that if you're going to keep a weapon you should be reasonably proficient with it. You might need to use it some day.

[Sharky]

Some folks call it a sling blade. I call it a kaiser blade. Uhhh huh.

Why the arsenal, mate? Planning on invading France?

 

[paul_valaru]

Nah, I've been doing various martial arts since I was a kid and ran my own club for a while. Mainly do weapons work. Just seemed to start collecting them. Every house should have at least one proper sword.

Nice idea about France though, I do have a longbow kicking around too...

And I thought I was going overboard with a full daito and a pair of sai...

 

[freako104]

all I have is a pair of Sai from when I took Tae Kwon Do

They were in the master closet tucked up high on a shelf. I rarely take them out. I've had them since I was 18 and forget that I have them half the time. They are fairly common and quite unremarkable specimens insofar as collectibles go. It is rather nice to look at a katana-esque wave pattern upon a generally western saber design; serious culture clash.

 

[freako104]

they look like they are in excellent condition albeit there are a few prints on the blade

 

[IDLEchild]

I have a 15 inch penis.....given to me by my mother and father 9 months before I was born.

Works pretty well if I need to practice heavy lifting with a dangerous weapon.

 

[Aunty Em]

Hehe... did I never tell you that I trained with weapons as well? Serously though whoever that is it isn't me but I love the site... /me goes back for a browse.

I gave my boken to my brother which i now regret, but i still have my nunchukus, tonfa, tanto and jo. My shaken, shiriken and knives also left.
