I personally prefer eskrima. Mostly because krav maga involves beating the other person within an inch of their life, whereas eskrima is just about pinning them against the ground, weaponless and sobbing. With tiny sticks. You don't want to beat someone within an inch of their life? Eskrima is more humiliating to the victim.

OMIGAWD how'd you know! It's the awesome version of Karate. The traditional one. The correct one (Okay, I overreacted there) I just love shihan Funakoshi's good sense of humor. I remember it like it was yesterday... Me: Wow! It's the first time I've ever done Basai-Dai as an [as then] orange belt! Shihan: That only happens on seminars! (LAFFTER!) Man. That one time class was epic.

Because you didn't capitalize the "I"
And because it's karate speak. With one of the descendants of the Funakoshi family.

Everyone is good with a weapon. I suck with a bokken, but I'm awesome with a pair of Sai.
Also Xad, what kind of karate are you taking? Shotokan or KIPPERSo-ryu or whatever the hell it's spelled

Everyone is good with a weapon. I've yet to find the weapon that I'm good with, then. I'm not godawful with a foil, but that equates to "can fight with it without dropping it". Most of my weapon expertise does not extend past stage and stunt fighting.

I'm an extremely good shot with a bow, personally. I just need one big enough for my arm length.
