I would have to say double hooked sword, it's fun, and practical. I like the bo...but it is sometimes hard for me to practice in small spaces,such as in a house. If i were to choose a wood weapon it would be 24 inch escrimas/kali/arnise(the pair of sticks). You'll totally agree with me when you see "ong bak tai warrior"-movie!

| Well if you wanted to say the ultimate weapon then that would be the atomic bomb. LOL but although I dont train or even own one I think that the Naginata is one of my favorite weapons, because it combines the use of both a bo staff and a sword. I also like its chinese counter part, the kwan dao. |

Hand down, your BRAIN (Mind) is your most important weapon.
you cant talk your way out of something without using it.
you can't fight without using it.
could not have produced any other weapons with out it (Examples: atomic bomb, sword, Jo staff, escrima, martial arts, guns,...

A hook sword is practical?? walk around in the open with one - in stores, in front of cops, etc. and see how practical it is. A knife is practical. my bullet proof glass knucks are practical. OC spray is practical. Most traditional weapons, while fun to use and great to train with are not practical at all. |

Though the Nunchaku are my favourite.... I would have to say the Sansetsukon (Three sectional staff)... from what i saw in Fight science, i would say that this is the ultime, if not then the Katana (Samurai Sword)

I didn't particularly enjoy that scene in Fight Science on trying to find the "Ultimate Weapon." I though it was silly, and inconclusive. That, and all they demonstrated was fancy wu-shu type movements, irrelevant to actual combat. Except for maybe Inosanto, who impressed me with the sticks. He said it himself; it isn't the weapon, but the wielder's skill with it.

KATANA hands down will beat anything except maybe a BO but that can be cut up. Weapon really is irrelivant its the skill of the user a skilled user of say the fans could take down someone with a stronger weapon eg a sword
