FAQ
Frequently asked questions about torqueblade:
Q/ Swinging stuff around your head? Isn't that a bit dangerous?
A/ Safety axiom:“Clobber not lest yea be clobbered”. The inherent risks about swinging a lump of aluminum about ones head should be apparent. However for those of us who would like clarification, I would like to use a Latin quote. “Que nocent sape docent” (What hurts often instructs). There is no more danger than training in a weight training gym and not paying attention to your environment. The fact that people have been training over a millenia in this format dictates that it is safe providing a person takes care in what they do.
Q/ Is the Torqueblade sharp?
A/ No it is not, it is purely a training blade to allow a practitioner to train in a safe manner.
Q/ Why use a blade rather than a club?
A/ A blade is basically a club, albeit a refined club with the line of impact clearly defined. This edge or impact line is very useful in realigning a persons body mechanics.
Q/ How does the Torqueblade differ from using various weighted weapons?
A/ The design makes the Torqueblade harder to stop and change direction at speed. When using heavier tools speed is harder to generate and still be in control of the tool. The Torqueblade, when used alone will still challenge enough to be an effective conditioning tool for Martial Training.
