If you were to design a weapon what would it be? Would it be a small hand held weapon or would it be a large one? Would it be bladed or not? Would it be held in one had or both?

One handed for me. I prefer to keep one hand free for grabbing. I don't want to kill, so probably not bladed. Solid though, to defend against bladed weapons if necessary. Probably with a few protrutions along the lenth of it, for easy striking of pressure points. |

Mine would be small, compact, easy to use with minimal training, non-lethal yet powerful enough to floor anyone, and legal to possess in most states. Hey, that sounds like pepper spray. That's it! Perfect. |

My American TAO sensei took some Kama's and tied a string to the ends. Thus he could swing them. He made a really nice kata out of it from Demo's.

I believe the weapons you are refering to are called ksuri-gama. They are a modern adaption on the original kama.
Wait, hold on.........ksuri-gama are attached by a chain aint they? WAit, no.....yes....no........GGGGRR I forgot.
Oh well, when I find my books I can tell you.

I'm not too good at designing new weapons myself. I spent 2 years of my life trying to build a real lightsaber from Star Wars. I'm came real close, but not close enough.

Something that fits on the hand, think Wolverine from X-men.

Again, something that fits on the hand but not along the Wolverine lines, maybe some sort of fist-shield type thing.

I changed my mind, I wanna create the kid-chucks. Put a small, well trained kid on the end of a rope and swing around.
Sorry, just watched Jet Li's The Enforcer.
