Martial Arts weapons are from a by gone era in human history. They still are relevant in today's world. Martial arts weapons trace their beginnings to simple farm tools. They later evolved into weapons of self-defense during the period of Japanese Samurai rule. During this time period, it was illegal for anyone but the samurai to carry weapons. Present day laws still recognize these simple farm tools as weapons.
