I brought this from another thread.
I once made some tonfu's. I had bought a lathe to make arms and decided to make some other stuff. A mate asked me why I would make them when I didn't do karate. I said I could use them like VT. He laughed so I said," grab my katana and swing at me. He swung diangonally down. I did a tan sao at the wrists to block the sword and did a punch with the other hand. I forgot the tonfu ends about 15cms after the handle. I stopped it before I would normally hit him. But as the tonfu was way past my fist I connected and broke his nose with the end of the tonfa.
Anyone got any good stories were VT has made you use reflexes you didn't mean to do. I have a few more from me and other students I learnt with if its an interesting topic.
