You haven't really given me any good reason to follow that link.

It reads kind of like what you would expect if a high schooler was given the topic 'explain the different weapons in martial arts'. No detail, no in depth thought, just basic 'facts' (more assumptions). Youre not missing anything by not reading it.

Reminds me of a presentation in one of my college classes. It was a Business class on Customer Service, and we had to do a report on a business that had won this award. This one girl did a 15-slide powerpoint on a car dealership.
Slide 1: "Here's some pictures of cars they sell."
Slide 2: "Here's some more pictures of cars they sell."
Slide 3: "Here's some more cars they sell."
Slide 4: "Here's some more cars they sell."
Slide 5: Actually has some information about the company. 3 bullet points in about 72-point font. She just reads them verbatim instead of expanding on them.
Slide 6: Same as slide 5.
Slides 7-15: Same as slides 1-4.

If you're getting at it being advertising, I don't think that's the case.

Seeing the history of the op, he appears to have the weapon obsession of a 13 year old who's far too into TMNT...

Oh. I never thought of it that way!

(And I literally mean she'd just say "here's some cars they sell", wait 10 seconds, and move on to the next slide).

In her defence, they wouldn't have won a selling award if they collected cars and never sold any.

What if they actually killed their chances for a car collecting award and didn’t win awards for collecting cars only because they sold them?

That's a whole different PowerPoint presentation.

I do have to mention that the nunchuk was made as a weapon, not a farming instriment.


Its all right, its a good starter to get you looking into things. I do have to point ou that the cane in bartisu exists in bartisu as it was marketed towards gentlemen when it used to be part of fashion to carry it or a umbrella around.

Sorry, but you wasted minutes of your life that you'll never get back by reading that "article". The little I read was vague and misleading, with many of the "facts" presented being mostly incorrect. Also, the junk they sell on their sight is exactly that, and a total waste of money to anyone engaged in actual martial arts.
You would do far better to engage in some actual research into various weapons rather than wasting your time with fluff sales sites such as that one.

Other than that it was ok.

Addendum to my previous post because i missed it, i dont recall the Sai or Jutte being called sword breakers.

Thats a sword breaker. (for anyone who doesnt know what a sword breaker is and sees this thread)

Yes, both the Sai and the Jutte were referred to as "sword breakers". The problem is the translation and usage of the term "break". It did not mean to literally break it, it implied that you could defeat a swordsman with the weapon. Both weapons were capable of defending against a sword or other bladed weapon. Even in the European "sword breaker" it wouldn't have literally broke the sword, but it would break through the attack, or defeat an attack.
