message: "Mamba" under "Knives" links to Mamba, the snake. I don't think the snake is a knife. Having never heard of a type of knife called a "mamba," I'm not sure whether the link should be deleted altogether or if it was just incomplete authorship.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to reorganize the weapons into better categories.
We could first organize by type, like missle weapons/melee weapons, bludgeoning weapons/bladed weapons, short/long/soft weapons, and so on.
Second, we could also include a second list that is organized by country/culture of origin.
Also, using a word like 'quarterstaff' as a header is kind of wrong - because that is a specific weapon of Europe that really isn't applied to, say, Japanese bo staffs.

text: I was thinking the weapons list should be elaborated on by creating sub-genres such as
shortsword/daggar-like,  shortsword/machete-like,  longsword/sabre-like,  longsword/straight blade, polearm/axhead,  polearm/sword,  polearm/quarter-staff, polearm/duo-end, Daggar, Knife, pushdirk, fist enhancers -to differentiate cutting blades from thrusting blades, 2handers from bastards and singlehanders.

thread_title: Mamba la bamba

message: I think this list is getting too broad.  Is a martial art weapon something that is currently being used for martial art practice or any weapon (modern, ancient or fantasy).  I think it should be the former - any opinions?  Remember we have List of ancient weapons and List of mêlée weapons. I expect some overlap but not total.Peter Rehse 07:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What makes a martial art weapon

message: Why aren't any firearm martial arts listed here? Just because they are more modern doesn't disqualify them from being martial art weapons. Zachorious (talk) 08:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: This is the third time I'll have had to edit this page. Someone came along and vandalized the page (or is even more incompetent at Wiki code than I am, which is certainly a feat) and when I try to erase the extraneous code it gets reverted. There's so much code on the page that it takes me several minutes just to load the edit page, so I really hope this'll be the last time I have to.70.139.76.145 (talk) 02:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I am no expert in martial arts, but it seems strange that the Nunchaku is not included on this list. Any particular reason?--Filll (talk | wpc) 17:31, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: What about the [[Nunchaku]]?

message: List of martial arts weapons and List of melee weapons are very similar, and the names are nearly synonymous. 
Should we merge them?

replies: text: I've had a look at both articles, and while I see your reasoning, I do suggest not merging the pair just yet. My main reason sits with the axe section in the melee weapons, but I think there's a few other melee weapons that aren't used in martial arts (and vice versa). We should look over the lists, though, and see what belongs where. --JB Adder | Talk 08:42, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge? 

message: It's such a common mistake that it's not even considered incorrect anymore, but the term "martial arts" is not meant to be used as an adjective. Therefore commonly-used terms like "martial arts weapon" or "martial arts practitioner" would be both redundant and technically incorrect. My suggestion would be renaming this article "Weapons of martial arts" or something to that effect. Morinae (talk) 08:46, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
