Your favorite weapon practice

I know a lot of people have said this...has anyone picked up a broomstick and used it in a fight?

Yes.

**** minimum character count restriction. I wanted a one word answer to that one.

favorite weapon practice-"two hugs and a kiss"

Eurgh! That is the most frightening weapon of all!

[TenTigers]

um.. I WAS talking about firearms

"Two Hugs and a kiss" is two to the body, one to the head !

[SimonM]

That is considerably less frightening.

I've never heard of the body armor drill referred to as 2 hugs and a kiss...I like it...

As far as favorite weapon for practice I would have to go with my Hung Gar Plum Blosson chain whip. Although I am far from perfect and had my fare share of being smakcs in the head or nads. Sometime I leave out the fancy stuff such as under the legs, etc... Also it is usually practiced with a 3 part southern whip however I cut a couple of links out of my 9 section so I could practice in my apartment and still have flexibility. I think it's at 5-6 sections.

My favorites to use are listed below beginning with the most preffered and ending with the least preffered.

-25 Semi aka Saturday Night Special
-Pepper Spray Teargas Combo
-Chain whip made with a clip on one end and my keys at the other end for striking, kind of like a modified wallet chain
-Black & silver pen that works like one and has a blade inside
-The so called ninja key ring with the 2 metal peices the stick out and go in between your fingers with a point on one end

My weapon that I am best with is the double daggers.

but I also like the staff and the straight sword, the latter of which I suck at.

two-handed straight sword (gim / jian), hands down...

I have one now but I'm still figuring out how to use it... 7lbs is a lot of sword.

[SimonM]

2 suggestions: 1) think of the sword as being the central axis of the motion, kind of like it was your spine removed from your body...that makes it much easier to, 2) let the sword do the work

well, they make it easier for me at least...

I tried using Gumdo style techniques with it but it felt like doing Gumdo with a club.

[SimonM]

Well this ain't no foil...

It also ain't no katana.

If Xingyi involves using giant swords at all I may be in luck. I met a Xingyi player recently. He's not a great fighter but he could still be a valuable resource.
