My Son's Custom Tae Kwon Do Weapons Bag

My son takes Tae Kwon Do lessons and at 14 years old is a 2nd degree black belt.
He loves majoring in "weapons" and bi-weekly has to bring them all to class.
It's a bit of juggling, so I decided to make him a bag to carry them all.
We looked online at "weapons" bags, but didn't find anything close to what he was looking for.

This bag is just over six feet long, the length of his bo staff and is fifteen inches wide,
there are three pockets the full length that are five inches wide, but vary in width themselves.
The pockets all close with velcro and the material is a heavy weight duck cloth.


The bag has a handle and a shoulder strap made from webbing.



Here are the weapons: bo staff, nunchakus, tonto (wooden knife),
 escrima sticks, and bokken (wooden sword).


Here is the bag with the pockets closed.


Here are all the weapons in their pockets. The bo staff pocket is the length of the bag, is the center pocket and opens from either end. The tanto and escrima stick pockets are at one end and on either side of the bo staff pocket. The bokken and nunchakus pockets are at the other end. The pockets for the other weapons such as the tanto, were shortened since the tanto is only about 12 inches long.

The total cost for the bag was less than $20.
