In Kuk Sool Won I have yet to touch a weapon because only black belts are the ones who are allowed to practice weapons. |
Not true. You'll begin jung bong spinning and moving techniques as well as the basic sword cutting techniques with a wooden sword after you've reached Dan Bo Nim (2nd black stripe). Earlier if your school offers the extra "Black Belt Club" classes.

Still too late in my oppinion. Part of me knew that though. I was just kind of angry at my school again when I posted that

I use a Katana for Kenjutsu, Bo Staff and Archery (Kyudo).
Has anyone tried Kyudo? |
I took archery when I was a kid for three summers and then again in high school. I loved it. I had sort of forgotten about it, never really thought about it as a martial art. Maybe I'll add it to my styles list.

There ya go!
On a serious note, the use of modern arms would be considered martial as well.

Staff, Dao, Jindao, Dadao, Ku baton, Knife, escrima .
Our main weapons are Staff, escrima, and dao. Arnis is all escrima, single and double. You only train with sticks in Modern Arnis and you learn how to defend against sticks/knifes/swords when unarmed. But a lot of the stick attacks/techniques have unarmed application. However, all of the sticks can be substituted with swords. We are kinda partial to sticks because my teacher's teacher was Remy Presas the creator of Modern Arnis.
