It intrigues to know that ancient martial arts never involved weaponry until the dawn of combat systems in the world, and nations began to craft handmade weapons to beef up their bare hand techniques.
China is credited as the pioneer of martial arts weapons, but today, almost every country produces these deadly defensive weapons. The high rise in the production of martial arts weapons among nations has made it difficult to select that weapon that will suit a particular martial art technique. We handpick the best martial arts weapons for self-defence that you may need to learn how to work with them; Nunchaku: it is no doubt that Bruce Lee had the best knowledge in using Nunchaku. It is evident in his movies how he dashed blows of this deadly weapon to his attackers and always
walked out untouched. That is the power of this ancient Okinawa martial arts weapon. Its handles were made from wood with a cord linking them – today this link may be chain rather than cord and the handles can be metal or plastic. It is what made Bruce Lee famous; you may also want to try these. Good luck!!! Metallic Blades: They are often sharp and potentially deadly weapons.
Ranging from the metal blade Kama, which initially was an Asian farming tool used to reap crops, and later adopted to be a sharp weapon commonly employed in Karate, to Sai; an ancient Okinawa weapon with projections at the handle for blocking and trapping the opponent’s attacks. There are many types of metallic Sai weaponry developed since the inception of the first sai in Okinawa and Japan. Metal Chinese blades are also among the more well-known Metallic blades one should consider using for training. Wooden weapons: You will underrate the power of wooden weapons until you try using the following weapons;
