So I was wandering around YouTube, and I found this!

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xD--7SsQS6s
A demo done by a martial artist of poi being used as a defensive weapon. Oh, and unless I'm mistaken, he's using a set of PoiPoi cobras. Wink

Yeah but seriously, who are you going to hurt with cobras, unless their super weighted hehehe!

Kill Bill 1 was the best one I seen, the little Japanese girl with the swinging ball and blade....best fight scene ever!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8gB_ZHXjt4 (you have to be over 18 to watch i think)

Kill Bill totaly rocks!

Edit: would have looked better with meteors though. I love the kick thing she does standing no the table, so cute!

I don't think it looks much like a weapon! He's just doing simple moves fast, no strikes or defensive actions. Oh well!

judo may not be a martial art in the eyes of "mattbassman" but it is fun when combined with karate.
