Rubber Knife for Training

There are several reasons for training with weapons.
Firstly although we are not allowed to carry jo or bo staffs, most bars have snooker or pool cues, most households have brooms and mops etc. As Josie says, we can improvise. Learning to defend against edged weapons (as long as you have a good instructor) could prove invaluable. The rubber knife in the dojo could be a glass or a bottle in a bar.

Secondly, training in weapons kata can improve co ordination and stances. The way I see it, if I can maintain a good rear stance whilst using a pair of nunchukas, I should have no trouble doing so in my karate kata.

To be honest though, the main reason I train with weapons is I thoroughly enjoy it.
