In New York I'm sure if you ask anyone rudely enough they'll school you in knife fighting.

No... for that you'd have to go to Sydney, Australia. Check this article:

Scary. What is more ironic is that virtually all weapons over here are banned. Forget right to bear firearms, in the state of New South Wales you have to be over 16 just to buy a safety razor or a stanley knife. Pretty much every "martial arts" weapon is specifically banned, along with carrying knives, etc. Doesn't seem to stop this sort of $#!+ going down though...

LOL! It amazes me when societies ban weapons - focusing on the tool rather than the user. Weapons don't hurt people - people hurt people.

Here the government likes to decide what you should think, do, say, etc. Unfortunately, also everyone expects "the government" to fix just about every problem from the weather down... Catch-22 for the few who admire US style personal freedom and rights...
Here is a list of prohibited weapons (excluding firearms) banned in my state.
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/wpa1998231/sch1.html
As an example of how retro and longing for the good ol' 1950's our politicians are, section 2.6 has a hilarious "Dennis the Menace" clause, allowing a child to bear a home-made slingshot... 
Here is a list of reasons you can get a permit to own one of these prohibited weapons.
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/wpa1998231/s11.html
So if you want to train in one of these weapons, say nun-chucks, first your club must have a registered permit as a business that teaches weapons (for a particular sporting purpose, of course...), then each student must register and get a permit as a member of a "recreational or sporting club" that uses that weapon as part of the sport... you're liable for spot inspections and must notify authorities if you move, pass wind, or have a bad hair day...
I think this puts a bit of a damper on lots of weapons training...
