Unlike other styles, in Goju the study of weapons is part of the course.  The Escrima stick is introduced at the 6th Kyu level (advanced White Belt).  The Long Bo and Jo Staff are the next weapons at 5th Kyu (Green Belt).  The Sai at 4th Kyu (Purple Belt).  Nunkaku in the 3rd to 1st Kyu level (Brown Belts).   The Sword is introduced at the Black Belt level.
This is truly an awesome demonstration of the sword.  Master Price cutting a cantaloupe on Sensei Carbone.
