Also MaM has a two piece Pudao that you could leave the tail off of.
Or, buy a pudao and cut it.
:)
2 Piece Pudao
Do you have an example of what you're looking for 7*? There's some variation in different lineages so I'm not 100% sure how to advise you here.
P.S. Thanks for the assist there, DJ!
Looks line a short pudao. Here's one I found:

I saw these before I posted. The hilt is too shortQuote:

I've lobbied hard to keep such things in stock, but I can't argue with sales numbers. :(
Argh. I found I nice one on amazon, but it's sharp - I'm not learning with that one. I guess I'll have to order the one I poster yesterday.
Chee kim thong picked up a form somewhere - I don't think it's part of ngo chor - but that weapon is good for my buddy type and strength, so they are showing me the form.
You can always tape a strip of garden hose over the blade until you get your sharp on. :p
I did iaido for a few years. I respect sharp. :cool:
there is really no reason to own those things these days. just get a random steel pole from garbage dump or home depot.
Bawang, you've never experienced a self defense situation if you've never been attacked by a man on a horse...
Also, as a teen, I was attacked by a dude on a bike. I was able to sidestep and pull him off, but I would've preferred to slice through the tire and spokes with a razor sharp horse cutter.
I think you need a gun bro...but whatevs. lolQuote:
