I had a white belt ask last night how many weapons do we have. This is the list we came up with in class from head to toe.

1. Forehead
2. Teeth
3. Elbow (point)
4. Elbow (forearm)
5. Forearm (inside)
6. Forearm (outside)
7. Wrist
8. Finger (1) pointer
9. Finger (2) separated pointer and middle
10. Finger (3) spear hand
11. Soo Do (knife hand)
12. Forefist
13. Back fist
14. Knuckle (1) eagle eye
15. Ridge Hand (chicken wrist?)
16. Hammer fist (outside)
17. Hammer Fist (inside)
18. Knee
19. Heel (bottom)
20. Heel (back)
21. Ball of Foot
22. Blade of Foot
23. Instep of foot

We had a few other nominated weapons but we did not know exactly how to use them, such as; the chin, shoulder, hips, back of head (for a strike to the nose of someone behind you) so we excluded them for now. If you know some applications and the exact strike point – let us know.

Did we miss any?

I almost forgot,

The Voice, Almost extinct now, KiaiJutsu was the art of focusing and projecting a concentrated shout, imobilizing or killing an opponant.
