Being a week away from karate classes, I need a way to still practice out here in the wilderness. Since I couldn't very well transport weapons on the plane, I've made an attempt to improvise. I call them "backcountry tonfa". Pictured above is one half of the pair I made while out in the woods. They're not quite as good as the tonfa you get from Shureido, but at least it gives me something to swing around. :-)
