I have designed a hard plastic Training Tomahawk. These tomahawks are made from a strong, hard plastic that is very much like the Sharky Training knives that many karate schools use.
Several people are now begining to explore the Western Martial Arts and tomahawk training and their is not a suitable training tomahawk on the market. Arnis and Kali translates VERY WILL with the tomahawk training as well as belt axe and hatchet work. It is very possible to find a hacket/axe/belt axe/claw hammer or what have you that can be used in a self-defense situation.
Here is a picture of the tomahawks
You can go to my website at http://www.WoodlandArchery.com and click on Tomahawks to see them. If you contact me directly at Samurai@INMartialArtsAcademy.com I will pay US shipping (Making the tomahawks $20).
I designed them and a person in Kansas is making them in small runs right now so I will let you know when I will have some ready when you Email me.
They will sting a bit if you are hit SO CONTROL is key, but they will not remove a limb. <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
