I used to have a
Shinai, till, well I snapped it over someone (training, honest
).
Thought about getting myself a
Bokuto, but haven't really gotten around to it (and wasn't really a priority while I was in Japan).
In worst case, a pencil is plenty good enough, plenty of painful places. Meh, done too much martial arts for my own good. Sadly, I could probably develop some techniques using a keyboard as an efficient lethal weapon...
