World Of Swords

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a popular children's television show and comic book. It focuses around the adventures of four teenagers who happen to be turtles transformed into humanoid creatures by some ooze. It is a fantasy show but it has some really informative and interesting bits about different kinds of martial arts weapons. The turtles happen to be trained martial artists and they use these weapons to battle the foot clan. Children can watch this show, get interested in the martial arts, and then join a martial arts class to learn how to be like the turtles.

Each turtle has a signature weapon. Rafael wields a pair of Sai. Sai are some of the most versatile weapons, they are great for offensive use as well as defensive, but they don't usually get a lot of play in the popular media. Rafael uses them to his advantage in almost every fighting scene and he the animators do a good job of showing off just what kind of cool techniques these weapons can perform.

Leonardo is the chosen leader of the Ninja Turtles and therefore he gets to carry the biggest and the sharpest weapons. Leonardo wields a matching pair of katanas which he holds on the back of his shell. Don't worry parents, he's never seen goring foot soldiers or making people bleed all over the place. Usually when he cuts something with his swords it is a robot or a piece of wood.

The technological or brainy turtle known as Donatello uses a bo. The bo is a long wooden staff that can be used for long range striking and pole vaulting. Donatello is a big fan of the pole vault kick. He plants his bo into the ground and uses it to propel his body forward into the foot soldiers, planting his turtle foot right into their faces. It may be the most boring weapon as far as appearances go but when uses skillfully it can be deadly.

Michelangelo loves his pizza but he also loves his nunchucks. He's often showing off special finesse style nunchuck moves to awe his opponents before walloping them on the head. He's quoted as saying: "I love being a turtle." And the children love to watch him. Nunchucks are possibly the most famous of all martial arts weapons because they are so unique. Only a select few martial artists choose to use these in popular culture on a regular basis.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are children's pop culture icons but they do a very nice job of introducing some ancient martial arts weapons and some really clever martial arts techniques. It is important to get children involved in the martial arts because it helps them to build confidence and they will do better in school.

Each turtle has a particular weapon of choice and these weapons kind of augment the turtle's personalities. Rafael, the hot headed red bandana wearing turtle, carries a pair of Sai. Sai are close combat fighting weapons that resemble forks. They have one long point in the middle and two smaller points on either side of that long point. They are stabbing weapons and also great for defense against swords. Interestingly enough the character of Rafael is constantly bickering with the character of Leonardo who uses a pair of katanas.

Not all of the Turtle's weapons are sharp or pointy. Donatello is the computer science nerd turtle who wears purple and uses a staff as his weapon. His long bo is a heavy and blunt wooden stick that he can use to smash Foot soldier's heads in from a distance and also to wedge open doors and defend his brothers. Donatello is more of the technological wizard of the group and will often be found driving the turtle van or hacking into computers.
