Legality of MA weapons in Canada

[Chris Wade]

Hi folks,

I am new to your forums. I found it by accident this week and am enjoying reading it.

I train in Ottawa, Ontario in Jiu-jitsu and a subsystem of Pekita Tirsia called Kali-jitsu.

I have a question about martial arts weapons and their legality in Canada. With the Kali-jitsu training, we train with blunt and edged weapons, i.e. knives and sticks among others. I have seen the expandable, or retractable, baton and am wondering if these are legal in Canada.

Any input?

I believe they are if they are not spring loaded. Carrying them around as a weapon on the other hand...
