3rd Black Belt
Yah. I eventually gave up training all "traditional" weaponry except the batons (24" and 8"), 5' and 6' staffs, and the tonfa. I like to roll up a newspaper or a magazine and substitute it for a baton in the attempt to practice using a weapon more readily available to me in society rather than something I'll never see - like a sword, nunchuku, etc. I've taken to removing a shoe and padding my wrist/hand with it when we work on knife training.
