If you could choose a specific list of weapons forms to learn, what would they be?
Here’s mine:
Practical weapons:
knife
chain whip
staff
For-the-fun-of-it-weapons:
Hook swords
three-section staff
For Body mechanics:
spear(internal)
My dream weapons.
Fat Man and Little Boy.

Man, I forgot those two. Of course, I did specify ones that have forms, so unless you can find me a school with atom bomb form, you’re gonna have to find something else.
Perhaps greek fire?
Oh yeah, I forgot judge’s pens(I think that’s what they are called). We’ll put them under practical, if illegal.
If Rolls can learn martial arts from video games then I can do atom bomb forms.

Rolls can’t learn from video games, and you can’t do an atom bomb form, now pick a weapon!
Okay, my weapon is the bo.

Hook swords.

If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV
manriki gusari? What weapon is that?
It’s a Kama (small sickle-like weapon) with a chain attatched to the end of the handle, right? Usually a small weight or blade at the other end of the chain.
Man, too many Sho Kusugi movies…

No kama.
The manriki gusari is just the weighten chain. Usually about 3 feet in length, with small weights on each end.
here’s a picture, but I wouldn’t trust the welds on these.
