Sasumata vs Space Invaders

Postby kurohinge1 » Fri Feb 13, 2004 12:03 pm

Teaching in Japan?

If so, don't forget your sasumata

From MDN's Wai Wai:

Faced by a spate of schoolyard invasions, schools across Japan have turned back the clock centuries in their search for a tool to combat classroom raiders ... A weapon known as a sasumata ... [which] were used by police to restrain crooks during the Edo Period (1603-1868), but have found resurgent popularity in schools and kindergartens as educators look for ways to protect the kids in their care ...

... "Once the attacker has fallen over, move the prong onto their neck and then use your feet to stamp on them and disarm them," ...

Invaders or not, these would be great to control the students! :lol:

I wonder if they make an electrified version ... :twisted: [/twisted evil]

I keep forgetting the name of the short Japanese Halberd. The Naginata is nowadays sort of a women's art. Last Sept I visited a ladies dojo and they let me fool around with the short 1.75 meter Halberd which they all said looked mo' "otorashii" for me. Nice feel...sort of like a pirate's cultlas with reach.

The elves in Lord of the Rings used a weapon similar to that.

I would need the long one.

I'm big.
