I would have to say Kwan Dao...not that I can carry it anywhere on a regular basis.
On a more practical basis, probably the whip chain.... |

| I have to say the chinese Shien (dubble edge sword). One kind, you could wear it around you belt ( because it is so flexible ). |

Get some foam ones you silly moo!! 
Either that, or a crash helmet 
Or better still a suit of armour

I love the escrima sticks because they are easy to use and you can easily find some on the streets.
For example, grab two car antena and you are ready to rock  |

Everyone seems to like the bo staff but I prefer the jo (about 4ft instead of 6ft).
A wandering monk challenged Miyamoto Mushashi to a duel, katana versus bo, and got his * kicked as it was just too slow.
Then he had a 'vision' of the jo, invented some techniques and in the re-match he beat the Sword Saint - the only person ever to have done so! So my vote goes for either the jo or nunchaku.
