Default Equipment and weapons

I'm looking to get some rubber practice weapons for our dojo, the current place I'm looking at is here

Can anyone suggest a place that is either cheaper or better quality, or just comment on the quality of the items sold here?

My shopping list include rubber knives, rubber Bo and maybe a rubber kubotan.

Also, is it better to learn with a 'real' weapon from the get go or would the Bo and Kubotan be satisfactory substitutes until one's skill starts to develop.

many thanks

I've never heard of a rubber bo.

That sounds incredibly gay.


You can always get the wooden ones and put foam pipe sleaves on them if you're worried about getting hurt.

I have some links somewhere on high quality wood stuff, but you can keep that kinky rubber stuff all to yourself... and maybe Bri Thai.

Yes. I strongly recommend the Vibro Bo. Oh yes.

Sorry Nit. I don't know where to get these things from.

I believe they are rubberized foam. Try Century Martial arts supply.
