Are you sick of people asking you this?

I study Hapkido and part of the grading is long stick teqhnique (as well as short stick, sword, rope, nunchaku and eventually fan).
Im sick of people asking what good it would do in a fight.

I always say "people play tennis, what good would that do in a fight?"

...quite alot actually because you will be fitter have good balance, speed, endurance, coordination etc. even if the skills arent directly usefull.

What do you think?
