Call me old fashioned but does anyone agree with me that the best weapon you can ever use is your fist. It comes from your mind and shows spirit and determination much better than any artificial weapon would. Anyone agree?

I understand you're point Joanne.

However, if I was in any combat situation, I know I would rather put my Matayoshi Okinawan Nunchaku-justu training to the test.

Call me a wimp, but I feel a long safer with some nunchaku in my hands.

Oh, but I would rather use my karate skills instead of my sai-jutsu skilss. If you see what I mean

I'm confusing myself.

it depends on your opponent, if he has a pole, or a b/ball bat, I would prefer Nunchaku, if he had nothing, I would prefer to use my fists, it looks better in court, and to the cops.

It all depends on the situation....

I mean if someone is about to shoot you with a gun from a distance - Youre going to be wishing you had longer weapon then youre arms or legs.

If someone is about to shoot me with a gun, from a distance, I'm going to wish I had faster legs!!!!!!

But I agree on your point about it depending on the situation.

That is a good point Joanne. Actually I think the best weapon is ultimately the brain. For, without it we cannot apply correctly any defense.

And by the way Joanne I am starting to really enjoy reading your posts.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but how long do you think that your hands would go against a katana?

Different situations call for different forms of defense...and therefore different weaponry.
I feel there is no superior "weapon" persay ...aside from the brain...'intellect' wins in the end. Its the user that must first possess the skill --anyone punch, kick, slice, dice, shoot, whatever!...Its how you use your most deadliest weapon!


My best weapon? ..
