The best weapon is the fist

Martial_Artist · Pre-Black Belt

I'm going to go out on a limb here and be very general, but hopefully my point will be seen and not just overlooked. The best weapon we possess is our body. The whole body as a single unit. Not any one part. What good does a brain do without a body trained to follow its commands? Or, similiarly, what good is a well trained fist without a mind to command to it? With this in mind, armed or unarmed, we should be able to make our bodies do whatever is best at any given moment.
In fact, after your body is prepared as a weapon then it becomes far more wise and effective to arm it with a weapon. In a battle, without arms you lower your chances of survival. With arms you increase them.
So, in reply to the first comment, is the fist the best weapon? I must reply no; it is a good one, but not the best. It is more a part of the whole than the whole itself.
