weapon training is good, it focuses the mind too unlike most gym work outs. same goes for dancing.
good body is good for the ladies. its nice hearing your girlfriend swoon whenever your shirt is ripped off in your average streetfight. and you dont feel sick when you look in the mirror!
Weapon training? I used to piss around with nunchucks quite a lot. I haven't done it for a while, but I was pretty good back in the day. I never got chance to break anyone's head with them though.
Check out Ebay, they sometimes have some pretty good swords for cheap. My Chinese mate bought a few off Ebay, about £20 -£40 a piece and they weren't even shoddy quality.
you can pick up samurai swords in some little martial arts shop near me for £60. dont know how good they are though, probably just meant for display. where i get my numchucks from... like AsparagusTrevor ive never broken anyones head with them yet... YET!
I bought mine from a fishing shop in Newquay, Cornwall. I was surprised at all the shit they had there, you'd expect them to have catapults and stuff at most, but they had fuckin crossbows, hunting knives, swords, machetes, nunchucks. I bought some padded nunchucks and some wooden ones. I practiced with the rubber padded ones, even those hurt my hands when I missed, and sometimes I break out the wooden ones when I have company.
