Martial arts weapons?

[ribbon]

I was wondering if anyone has experience with the different types of martial arts weapons. I have used throwing stars before but never as training. It was just something I had as a novelty. What items do you have and do you use them in your training often?

I have a pair of sai weapons that I am currently learning how to use. It is harder that I thought it would be. I love using them but I doing so effectively without making mistakes is a whole other issue.

I have a pair of nunchaku, never had any reat training with them, but i whip them around on occasion

I love to watch demos using weapons. In TKD we do not use any weapons. My brother who teaches and paractices Kung Fu does some forms with weapons, its awesome.

I took TKD and due to popular demand they did some weapons training (mostly staff) for black belts. Not sure if that was classically correct but it was fun!

Bo staff for me. I'll be learning new weapons, but it may remain my favorite weapon.

I own Katana, Sai, a Bo Staff, and a pair of Tonfas. Overall, I'd say the tonfas are the most versatile, and fit best with my style of combat, but the katana is my overall fav. Only problem with the blade is I don't have any formal training with it, so all I do with it is self-taught.
