Its not as if you can carry a sword around in public (unless of course you want to go to jail)

Well I tought myself how to use one and I am pretty decent, first time I ever picked one up I was pretty decent... same with bo staff, nanchaku, but the tonfa took a little work... In my oppinion, you train ANY melee combat and it will increase your other areas of melee combat, someone highely trained in staff will be able to use bare hands as well, even with no training, not as well, but still better than untrained person. Ya know? Besides, ever heard of fun? Or sticks... how about the benefit it would give for your improvised weapons??
