I'm still on furlough from KungFuMagazine.com, so here is another essay I contributed to the Academy of Martial and Internal Arts where I train.

Shaolin Sheltering: Weird Weapons
...

Yesterday a bird flew into the office. It was a tiny bird, a sparrow or finch (I don't really know birds). I used my Tamo Cane to gently guide it out. Applications, man. It's all about those...

...of course, being that this is the KFM forum, why would you start such an absurd behavior now?

Srsly, post some evidence or sources.

Here's some back story: Shaolin Ways Episode 1:...

More to come...;)

Come on, now Pk_StyLeZ. How hard is it to repair a cane? Besides, we sold those folk-made canes for less than $20. That's less than a KFC Family Meal Deal.

RDH: I was toying with making a...

The first batch were cheap, yet charming in a folksy way. These new ones are made by one of our martial arts manufacturing companies, so the quality will be a lot more consistent. Also, I've had...

The Tamo Canes that we had earlier were made by folk craftsmen from the Shaolin area. We sold out of them a lot faster than we anticipated, and restocking was challenging because we weren't working...

Designed by me. :cool:

Bodhidharma Cane

My Shaolin connect told me last week that it will take about two weeks to finish up a new batch. We're ordering twice as many as last time. I'm not sure how long it will take to get them from China...

I'll ask the TN office to look into it.

When I used to make swords, we hired this carpenter who was living out of his van for a spell. He had a lathe in his van and would shape handle blanks...

We now know it is successful at this price point. We are looking at making improvements - in fact, I was just in discussion with the makers yesterday about this - without raising that price point. ...

I'm actually carving one myself right now, just for fun. But I wouldn't do it for under $10 bucks. That's what it would have to be under to meet that $18.99 price point. It's a fair amount of...

....whoops! Too late. Now you're sorry, aren't you? :p

Thanks for that everyone. We're ordering more, but it will take a while as they have to be carved in Dengfeng and then shipped to here.

@Shaolin: I should add that if these ever did become a...

@Blacktiger - In all honestly, it's challenging for MAM to ship to Oz, or any other country for that matter. There are unique customs regulations for each country and MAM frequently gets stung with...

If this product sells well, we hope to import more.

...so there's lots of variation. Back in the days of Shaolin village, you'd see stacks of them in the little weapons shops, and you'd spend hours picking through to find the heftiest one (or at...

But they're fairly easy to make. All you need is a wood rasp (although a lathe would be cool too ;) ). I originally got mine at Shaolin. The shaft was made of white wax wood, and you know that's...
