Weapons I used in karate



Weapon List (from top to bottom):
1. Battle Fan. Nothing special, we learned it in a special class. I mastered the fan and won the "Fan Master" award.

2. Samurai Sword. The top is the case, second part is the sword. Again, nothing special. We were learning the kata for the sword called "Katana No-Kata Shodan". Never finished that kata.

3. Bo Staff (tournament style): My best weapon. I mastered this weapon at an early age, and won 2 1st place trophies because of it.

4. Shinai (bamboo sword): What we used to practice sword fights. Also our original Sensai hit our legs with it when we did bad stances.

5. Nunchucks: Very fun weapon, very old pair. Got newer pair, sadly lost them

6. Tanfas (Night Stick): Fun weapon, another one I was good at. Was never a flashy weapon, so could never use it at tournaments.

7. Sais: Original blackgrip tore off, added red to look like Elektra. Fun weapon, bad memories.

8. Boken: Wooden sword used to practice sword techniques.

I sadly lost my Kamas (picture below), which are my favorite weapon of all time.


If you did karate, did you use any of these? Or anything different?



Edit: My karate's belt system went like this:
White
Master White
Yellow
M-Yellow
Orange (I skipped this belt)
M-Orange
Blue
M-Blue
Green
M-Green
3rd Class Brown
2nd Class Brown
1st Class Brown (I quit once I got here. My sensai treated us like we were 2, plus when we nearly got done learning Katana No-Kata Shodan, he stopped and went back to the boken.

Black Belt (1st-9th degree. 10th is highest, but there can be only 1, Shihan Sensai)
