Is there a difference between street and tournament weapon training?

Choosing A Self Defense Trainer

It is just as important to be selective in choosing the right self defense weapons trainer as it is to choose the right self defense weapon. First, identify what your goal is when choosing a trainer. If you want to learn self defense skills then don't go to someone who specializes in developing martial arts skills for tournaments. Next, visit a few different instructors and observe them teaching other students. You need to make sure that the instructor's style is something that makes you comfortable. Finally, choose a class that will give you the training you want at your skill level. If you haven't used the weapon before, don't rush it. Instead go ahead and start with the basics. Gradually developing your skill will help you develop the right technique which will be better for your protection in the long run.
