The only live weapons I train with are tanto and tomahawks, but then we have blade guards and covers on them when we spar. I have thrown live weapons, but they can get damaged and this can prove expensive. I'm happy with the bokken, it seems to fit what I need it to do.

Why do you have a live Tanto blade?

The training usually involves wooden tanto and plastic training blades but we do displays with live bowi knives and tomahawks. A few of our members use throwing knives and axes too.
