My prefered martial art is called Kobujutsu (or Okinawan Kobudo). I always liked it because of all the interesting weapons that survived and were preserved.
It's a weapons-based martial art. Although you can still kick and hand strike. I train with 12 traditional weapons. The Bo, Tonfa, Sai, Nunchaku, Tekko, Nitan Bo, Suruchin, Kama, Timbei-Rochin, Kuwa (a garden hoe!), Tecchu, and Eku (boat oar).
Kobujutsu originated in Okinawa, and uses often very simplistic weaponry modified from everyday tools like the sickle, horse shoe, hairpin, or rice mill handle. I also like how readily accessible many of the weapons can be, like a simple broom handle for instance can replace a Bo, or a pan lid can even substitute for a Timbei (small shield!)
