Is it worthy learning to use ancient martial arts weapons nowadays?
In the old ways the way of weapons was the ultimate warrior style. Nowadays with the UFC showing some great MMA everyone forgets about the wealth of knowledge available. Some of the greatest skills a person could achieve are thru the study of weapons, especially sharp bladed ones. Now anyone can pick up a sharp weapon, but can you do it with such grace and style that you are basically in tune with it. Look up Shim Gum Do, Mind Sword Path. (It is more than a way to use a weapon) You will see some of what I am reffering to, it is awesome to say the least, and the other side of the samurai arts.
