Re: Weapons Training in modern times

Yeah weapons training does have its uses, not only to defend against them. If you look at most martial arts weapons they were improvised form farm tools or whatever was at hand and there is still plenty of stuff lying about in the street that could be adapted to suit without having to carry a weapon and break the law. Also it is useful to know how to use weapons properly in the event of you disarming someone else and turning their own weapon on them (with appropriate force of course...)
