Also, if there are supernatural powers at play, wouldn't, say, small grenade-like explosives or an entire bag full of muskets be viable? I believe there are at least a couple martial artists in fiction whose styles involve/revolve around using a bow in melee, too. I assume this (Entirely hypothetical!) tournament would take place in a relatively small arena, with the audience mostly or completely isolated from the action?

Clones and shapeshifting would probably fall under "unarmed"... How about a weaponized cape or cloak, or a 5-foot diameter shuriken with handles in the middle?

I just want to add in darts, boomerangs, bolas, scissors (as in the weapon these guys wield), and monk's spade.

So...lets just say you were some sort of martial arts master who is going to enroll in a martial arts tournament...What kind of weapon would you like to use? Bonus points if it doesn't show up on this list.

A fir--

No guns.

...Never mind.

Whatever weapon I was a master with, of course.

[Yoink]

Dual-wield cheese graters!
I can see it now... "You've really cheesed me off!"

Or swordchucks, of course. If I was being serious I'd probably just go with a sword. Possibly a scimitar like that one movie I saw once.

[IronyOwl]

Nobody's mentioned tetsubo yet? They're like studded metal baseball bats.

So probably just a type of club, I guess.

[Kadzar]

If I had to pick a weapon for myself to wield in this hypothetical situation, it'd have to be that battle bench thing I mentioned earlier. Or if this was a more serious hypothetical game, it might depend on what others pick, but I'd go for dual-wielding katars. Or maybe chakram if you get unlimited ammo if you pick a thrown weapon.

[Empiricist]

Gattling piston drill lance.

I'm pretty sure that video you linked is just what happened when grandpa went off his meds.

Yoink, aren't you a blind master of the art of eyechucks?

[mastahcheese]

I'd use Swiss Arrows, or maybe Knobkerries. Could we use Boomerangs?

[Wwolin]

An electric drill in one hand and one of those fancy vibrating carpentry saws in the other. Because god damn, if I'm going to risk life and limb in a martial arts tournament, I'd better come out of it with some sort of neat carved-bone souvenir commemorating the time I turned cut off some guy's foot and made it into a neat carved-bone souvenir.

I'd forgotten about that. Although at least this way I can see at the same time.

Yeah, but someone in the comments mentioned another video that shows a guy in a (I'm guessing basement) dojo calling out moves, so evidently someone who was watching the old man and decided to turn his random flailings at the demons in his mind into a semi-legitimate martial art. Also, I like that you can sit on the thing when you're not fighting with it; I'd like to see you do the same with a scimitar.

[flabort]

Kusarigama.
I recently rewatched Soul Eater.

[Ozarck]

A spoon.
