We teach a variety of weapons from the old to the new. Our goal is to teach hand eye coordination and tradition. The reason for learning weapons: Weapons are not just an extension of the hand as taught by most, but an extension of the self; this is the reason for the variety. Not everyone is a sword or staff person. Korean weapons Dan bong----short sticks (33 centimeters) Joong bong----middle staff (120-140 centimeters) Jang bong---long staff (180-220 centimeters) Dan jang---Crooked cane Pho bak---rope Boo chai--- fan Kum---sword Bhang kum---knife
Japanese weapons Katana---sword Tanto---knife Tessen---fan Jo---middle staff Yawara --short sticks
