I remember a martial arts with a weapon that was shaped like a bat? What is this weapon and what type of Martial Arts involve this weapon?|||if it used with 2 hands?





anyway try kung fu they use lots of different weapons.|||I would say the weapon is most likely Kali or Escrima sticks, they originated from a form of phillipino stick fighting.|||How big was it?|||I doubt this is what you mean, but this is the closest I could find.

They%26#039;re called Tetsubo, or %26quot;iron staff%26quot;, or alternately Kanabo (%26quot;metal staff%26quot;) and were a somewhat legendary type of weapon (attributed to Oni, or demons). This isn%26#039;t to say they weren%26#039;t used, but their tremendous weight meant that few soldiers carried them. The art of using this weapon is usually called kanabo-jutsu (creative, isn%26#039;t it?), and few references to it exist on english websites.





A similar styled weapon (though larger and made of wood) was the Nyoibo, which I%26#039;ve seen in association with Bujinkan demonstrations, but not had the pleasure of learning myself.
