Nunchaku

Tonfa

Sai

Shuriken

Bo

Chain weapons

Naginata

Shoalin thing like nunchaku but with three bits.

Nunchaku were origionaly rice flails, tonfa were used for husking rice and shuriken were useful because they were easily concealed. They were used because the people of okinawa were not allowed to carry weapons.

Would these weapons be useful in a fight? I know it's unlikely but imagine you're in a martial arts shop and someone starts a fight or something.

What sort of techniques would be best? Which weapon would you pick up and why?

I'm trying to come up with ideas for origional threads. It's not easy.
