We teach PRACTICAL weapons, with an emphasis on PRACTICAL self defense. We do NOT teach: nunchucks, swords, spears, scythes, sickles, ninja stars, chain weapons (areas of specialization might teach some of those weapons, but they are not part of the core curriculum).
As part of the core curriculum, we teach staff, sticks, cane, knife and firearm. We teach both perspectives: (1) the one carrying the weapon, as well as (2) the one defending against the weapon.
