Martial Weapons of the World

[Sleeping Fox]

Since man could walk we've faught each other and since we learned to fight each other we invented things to kill each other with.
The Bow
The Sword
The Dagger
The Club
The staff.
Etc Etc.
Have you trained in any of these? I know aikido does sword techniques,
but what else is out there?
Kendo? Fencing?
Kung Fu/TaiChi weapon styles?
even Iaido?

And finally whats your favorite archane weapon?
Right now personally, I'm inlove with a Cossack Shashka and a Chinese Two Handed Jian

here is the Chinese sword http://www.chinesearms.com/chinesearms/chinesearms/001/jian/qinggang2/qinggang.htm
Chinese arms has pretty good prices and they don't sell fakes. They're based in Hong Kong and are friendly, so I'm told, a friend is getting them to hunt up a big arse Korean sword....
