sticks
i am in agreement with the kali suggestion. i've also met some taijutsu practioners who do nasty things with a stick. if you cant find anyone to teach you Hock Hochheim has some good stuff with impact weapons,( also knife, gun & hand to hand). He does seminars & has lots of easy to folow videos. his website is www.hockscqc.com
Once committed to fight, cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resolutely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit.
