Kung fu weapons

In terms of weapons in martial arts, unlike the days of old, Kung fu weapons are no longer used as a means of self defense or survival. In California, an individual can at the most, carry a knife that is four inches in length. However, Kung fu weapons are still used these days in wushu and traditional martial training regimens for respective reasons. Primarily for contemporary Wushu practitioners, they utilize Kung fu weapons in their forms during performances in competitions.
For traditional martial artists, they incorporate Kung fu weapons in their training because by practicing with Kung fu weapons, their upper body becomes much stronger than a normal traditional martial artist who does not train with Kung fu weapons. In a fighting situation, the weapon user will be able to deliver a much stronger punches, forearm techniques etc. than a normal martial artist. In short, Kung fu weapon wielders, overtime will be able to have a higher base damage behind their attacks due to their working with weapons.
