Re: Shocknife'R'Us
We noticed a level of unrealism in the attacks during randori. Therefore I got several lengths of plastic tubing and covered them in pipe insulation (taping them on). They are like bokkens, which allow a sudden hard attack (and encourage such an attack), and they cause a slight bit of pain and a whacking noise without causing any bruising or injury. Highly recommended and about $497 cheaper than the 'shock-knife'.

Re: Shocknife'R'Us
Ian, I now have images of your students buying a LARP katana to come and train with you. *shivers*
Somehow, I find that more scary than the shocknife... Don't know why. |
