moobrack Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Somebody told me that if you hold a martial arts license that you can carry nunchaku out in the street as long as they are consealed and use them if you have to(last resort)as long as you warn the person confronting you that you are trained in martial arts.IS IT TRUE?

Tobias_Reece Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Moobrack As far as I know, it is illegal to use any weapon in public (eg street). When carrying weapons they have to be concealed, for example in a carry-case. I'm not sure about the rules about bein attacked, but I have known of martial artists to win a fight with a weapon, only later to be charged.

BlueDragon Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 This may not count as a weapon but my dog has proved to be a great way to avoid a fight. Ever since a skate park was put in near my house alot of f*cks (no offence to any skateborders out there) have been hanging around my neighborhood. It hasn't really been a problem for me(potheads can't fight) but my parents were concerned about my little sister. So from now on she walks around with our Husky Simon. He weighs 105 pounds and comes up past my hip. No one goes near my sister now. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" -Hendrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KickChick Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Bear in mind that you can also be held accountable for the actions of your "pet". I don't need to tell many of you here from the states about the countless stories of people being mamed or killed by pitbulls! Deby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamrushman Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 yes thats true its a shame that the only protection seems to be no protection at all. unless your ready to go to court to prove it was self protection against a life threating action against you or your love one. rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niel0092 Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 well, I said bo. Concealment wasn't an issue in the poll so i didn't think about that part of it. A bo or staff has a great reach advantage, hurts like ---, and you don't need to kill/maim someone to use it effectively as with a knike or sword.

Tobias_Reece Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Hi all JUst a point to make...the nunchaku has a longer reach than the bo.

Blade13 Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 I choose other. Although the other choices are great weapons, they are very hard to conceal. Even a pocket knife has disadvantages, as most folding knives will break in real battle. I prefer a manrikigusari chain. It is powerful enough to break cinder blocks (trust me, I've done this) if used properly, it can be thrown, and if you spin it in a figure 8 in front of yourself then any attacker will be afraid and uneasy in their advances. Also, it can be concealed in ANY pocket. I never leave home without mine. Either way....they look REALLY cool too! :kaioken: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
