Heya guys quick question what is the law (in the UK) about carrying weapons to class in public? Have heard things like Sai are only legal if theyre in a case, at the bottom of a closed gym bag (so not easily accesible!) Mainly thinking about Jo and Sai but will be using other weapons so those as well.

Cheers
Jon

I think the easiest way you'll find out this information is to contact your local law enforcment office. They should be able to tell you what you need to know. Here, it varies from state to state and city to city, so what may be legal one spot might not be in another.

You got it right. In a bag, to and from training.

As long as they're in something, you're okay. You don't need to worry about a case in a bag.

I think you're supposed to have a license to buy them, but i've been to places that don't ask. i could be wrong though.
