Faith's Martial Arts

Well, as you can see, Faith's primary hobby has shifted from cooking to martial arts. She'd been studying various fighting arts for some time but within the last three years, her interest and determination in the Asian fighting styles has increased dramatically. While she isn't quite a master yet, her skills are formidable enough for her to begin training with weapons. I told her that I trusted her with pretty much any weapon but she seems to prefer swords and blades.

A basic fighting katana

Slightly smaller than her first, this was her second sword but is mainly a display sword.

Her third katana, which she uses interchangeably between her first.

Her fourth katana, used in her first faux battle in martial arts class.

Collectible medieval swords, used for collection purposes.

A short blade, used for short distance fighting.

Ancient katana she bought on her trip to Japan, used for collection purposes.	A collapsible bo, which breaks into three sections
Basic ninja fighting gear, a short blade, sword, small hand blades, and ninja stars.	Faith's main sparing sword, made of bamboo. Uses it with less experienced people mainly.
A circular blade, used mainly against targets for practice. She hasn't been in a battle to use this one yet.	Nunchucks. She has much training to do with these. Many bruises adorn her arms from it.
A full bo. She and I spar with these routinely.	Fighting fans, used in battle. Made of metal with edges that cut like knives.
One of her two sai. Just began to train with these and her skill is clumsy for now.	these ancient weapons are purely for display at the moment. She wants to perfect the sai before attempting to use these.
