The tonfa is a weapon that cops call nightsticks,the tonfa is a weapon used for hand to hand combat it is more of a upgrade to your arm than necissarly sp?a weapon though it counts as a weapon when using the tonfa their is short range and long range short range is you have the long part of the tonfa going down your arm to your elbow (unless you have very long arms)and is used for punching such as a uppercut or a blow to the chest whatever fits your style,and long range is having the long part of the tonfa opposite from the direction of the short range attack the long range is used for sweeping,poking (i don't do that but you could do that),or anything long range you can however do other stances for attacks like a sword pose or something like that but mainly just use short range and long range when using a tonfa.

I think the cops have disbanned that form of the nightstick, or atleast last time I checked they did. Now they use(and this is in canada) a metal night stick that you snap out like its one of those crappy lightsabre things for little kids, but the only thing is, you need alot of pressure to push it back in, and a hard object to work with your push, such as concrete, which it does make dents in, because it did so to my school's tile flooring.

Most police and military forces have upgraded to the collapesable baton. Mainly because these are more strudy and compact. They are just as lethal as those clubs they used to carry. Also there are still some smaller cities and towns here in the US that do not have the funding for the collapseable baton so they still carry the old style.

dragonking217 it was a typo and i'm 12 almost 13 but i'm damn good with a tonfa besides cops are like dogs except they want donuts instead of bisciuts...or so the simpsons say ninja . Alright, Do you live anywhere near The comox Valley? Because if so you can bring your Tonfa, I'll bring, well me. And we'l see who wins in the end. Because I seriously doubt that a 12, or 13 year old would be allowed to teach a class, and especially be able to teach a group of grown men who protect a city, that would just be assinine. I mean seriously, I'm 16, sure I've taught in Tkd before, but that was warm ups and line drills with little kids, and even when I recieved my Second Dan I never ran a entire class, my instructors would have to be insane to do something like that. My point, you training Cops-COMPLETE BULLSHIT!

galaborix92 i have never heard of it. but it sounds cool. ^^ Well, it is also known as a T-Baton in layman's terms ... I am able to use it, but I don't think I am skilled enough to teach police officers about it ... sweatdrop It gives you a good advantage over a heavy bo ... since it is faster as in a pair. (block and counter at the same time ... sweatdrop )

I bought a pair of Tonfas randomly when I was visiting China Town's New York. Don't actually know how to use them properly yet though. Tried them the first time and accidentally rammed my stomach. Yeah, I'm just that cool.

Well, my husband (Laren, he's a member of this guild as well) just finished his police training in September. He got a nice tonfa and then had to take it back because they were switching to the collapsible metal baton (called an ASP - ask him what it stands for, I just laugh every time he talks about breaking out his asp - sounds like "a**" when said as part of a normal conversation...yes, I'm immature). 'S okay though, because he has a few tonfa of his own anyway. He sort of collects sticks and the like and makes up forms with them. His martial arts school uses little sticks as the most likely "found" weapons - they're big on street defense. I think currently they're working with live knives. Meh. Since I'm more or less married to my long staff, I don't really muck about with any of that.
Oh yes. I may be wrong on this one (please Laren correct me if I am), but I'm pretty sure that most police training centers prefer to employ, when available, instructors who are themselves police officers. So you might want to revise that snotty attitude about cops, because if you want to live the dream you may have to become one. PS: My husband is lactose intolerant, hence cannot eat donuts. He prefers chinese buffet or Subway while on duty, especially if you're buying. Off-duty, it's sushi all the way. Okay, or my chicken nuggets, which he swears are godly. 3nodding
