Mine’s the fan. Can’t stand it. Learned some, the only parts I liked could have been done with a pointed stick. In fact, in my opinion, if you want to get in a fight, your best bet is to be a six foot male with a painted fan. Just about any bar you go into, you should be prepared to defend yourself.
I also hate big double hammers, but they’re better than fans. Fans suck.
Please share.
I never really liked fan either. I also disliked 3 section staff too. Granted it looks cool, but catching one of those ends in the temple isn’t too much fun.
any kind of flail type weapon: chain-whip, nunchakus, rope with a knot, whatever. too painful to master
guns, i hate em
they kill people too easy
all the kung fu in the world wont save ya from a lunatic with a gun
I gotta agree with neito. I would love to learn the melon hammers that KC hates, but we don’t learn them in my school. If the melons are heavy, they must be awesome forearm builders.
TjD got it right IMO.
Guns and bombs. By far the worst things man has ever made.
We have melon hammers in the school I attend:) I look forward to learning them…
We also have 3 section staff (I can hardly wait) and cern chi gwan (nunchaku)… I’m just about done that form, and like it just fine.
My least favorite? I guess that’d have to be the staff. I guess it’s just kind of “bland” compared with some of the other weapons our style trains in:)
despite the obvious combat affectiveness of single broadsword or straight sword, i find the way it encourages training one hand over the other does’nt quite sit right with me. i’d rather go double weapons or two handed, or weapon and shield.
the staff is bland, but look at that balance of speed, range and power - I love the staff.
Haven’t really done any weapons yet, got a long way to go before that happens 
I done a little wing chun pole (Luk Dim Boon Gwun)… it kills man! 8 foot long and have to hold it in horse stance The baat jam do (knives) look cool though, but also very hard to do!
My school also has chen shi taijiquan and some shaolin, so theres a myriad of cool weapons to train there… i would like to learn the staff if possible, as well as all your cool stuff like the kwan do, spear, 9 section chain… can’t beat a good broadsword or straight sword either

The parking meter.
I actually want to learn the fan! I saw a “rolling cloud” (or something, can’t remember) form performed a while ago, it wasn’t done all that well, but it still looked fantastic ('scuse the pun 
).
I know two eye-brow height stick forms (three including a partner form). The first one ‘southern “monkey-king” stick’ I find a bit clunky (nb: this isn’t a monkey-style form), I find it difficult to get it to flow (but the strikes are v. powerful). The other one ‘the blind monk’s stick’ is much more fun, lots of twirls and swinging it 'round your head.
So I guess alot depends on the way you use the weapon.
Personally I never fancied learning the melon hammers (Luckily I don’t think our school knows any hammer forms.)

Lol at Parking Meter.
Btw, the higher level instructors at our school had to invent a form for a grading and one of them did a “rolled-up magazine” form.
I mean what are more likely to be carrying? An 8’ spear?

Lawn dart, spatula or riding crop.
Never underestimate the effectiveness of the lawn dart. Never.
I prefer the squirtgun filled with ****.
squirt gun
Is that from the same school that brought us the “sh!tty stick” and “smelly finger” techniques?
staff. i never got the hang of the staff. too unwieldy. (only because i haven’t put the time in, i’m sure.) in FMA, we got plenty of practice with the stick, double stick, dagger, etc. but not much with the staff.
i like it’s simplicity, versatility, etc. i don’t like what it insists on doing to the side of my head.
