Equipment and weapons

[Nit]

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

Does nobody buy equipment online here?

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.

Spanky

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

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

Click the
Playwell Link for a looksie at rubber Bo...

I think it so you can spar with it, semi contact

I haven't seen that much latex since the last time I was in Vegas!

Woo Hoo!

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

2 three foot dildos and you could probably pass them off as escrime sticks
