Summer Weapon....

Now to decide the summer weapon:

I know I'm teaching Chanbara Sparring at any rate...
do I want that expensive thing to be our weapon?

I haven't done Nunchaku in awhile

I try to switch weapons each semester and all

Last semester was...Staff... but I could always do that again

I haven't done Tonfa or Escrima in awhile either...

Spear has been discontinued so I shouldn't do that one...

and I think that's all my choices...

Last summer was tonfa if memory serves though..

If I did continue sword I am teaching the Ukemi from master's camp over the summer and the balls would be around. Therefore since teaching the Chanbara, it might be a good idea to stick with the sword and for those who were already and those who aren't yet blue and above focus on the kata and it's applications with the swords....

Then again demo for the summer tournament... hmmm...

The good news is that the May family has at least one of each weapon you mentioned. In reverse order, I think it was sword, staff, escrima (summer because of the demo thing), tonfa, nunchuck, broad sword. I THINK! So, yes it seems like nunchaku would be the next in theory. I dig the tonfa (but I know it wasn't that long ago that Corey wrote the paper on that). But, as a parent, I dislike getting new weapons all the time.

I'm excited to hear you are doing ukemi (I didn't do great at it, but it was fun).
