World Of Swords

Fantasy swords are collected for a variety of reasons. Some people collect them to create their own individual displays. Others do this as a tribute to their favourite fantasy film or television show. In some cases they take part in role play games and use them as weapons in simulated battles.

The first thing to do is consider where you are going to have this display. If it is going to be a large collection it may have to be in the living room. If so you will need a full size cabinet. For a smaller collection it may be easier to have it in a bedroom on a wall or on a shelf.

If you still want to show your appreciation for your favourite fantasy film or TV show then it may be easier to collect replicas. The cheapest options are basic models manufactured in China or India. These will often be the least sturdy and decorative so you should check carefully before ordering. In some cases less scrupulous websites will have pictures of the real items and sell on bogus merchandise.

Stainless steel items are the next stage in replicas. They are more solid than the mass manufactured basic designs and with better decoration. These will usually be available from official manufacturers. Be wary of unofficial websites that display pictures of these items. It has been reported that some claim to offer this kind of sword but then sell people counterfeit versions that are of inferior quality.

Tempered steel replica weapons are designed for role play battles. Check carefully when ordering to see if they are referred to as battle ready as these will be the hard wearing versions that will stand up to heavy usage. Make sure you are getting the right one for your needs.

Finally when collecting Fantasy swords some people may wonder where they can get hold of official memorabilia. The original items can sell for thousands and can usually be purchased from auction houses or specialist websites. If you are looking to buy an original or a signed piece only buy them from accredited dealers. A certificate of authenticity can be easily reproduced, but the right accreditation means a lifetime guarantee, so you can get a refund on anything that is not authentic. Look online for price comparisons and company directories.

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.
