Why weapons training is useful!

[Dekan]

I think its useful because you can adapt things you pick up on the street for fights.

 

hmmmm, think pool cue

[Iron Fist 05]

This is what i think about weapon fighting and weapon training in general: Yes there is massive tradition in weapons, possibly more than the art itself, but there is one thing that actully makes a weapon a weapon; SELF DEFENSE. I try to choose a weapon that i can actully carry around, or at least find on the ground or nearby, like G95 said, That's why I like weapons like the whip chain, escrima, bo, and nunchaku. Yes, you're not going to find a regular nunchaku on the ground or put it in your pocket, very easily, but you CAN buy some that expand like a baton and put THAT in your pocket. I don't like knives because it's really easy to kill someone on accident with one, but that's just me.

Hey,kiddo you can take a squash

 

racket, short umbrella as

 

Chinese blade if being attacked

 

and also without acting against

 

the law.

Sheesh,
