The Ninja were masters of many weapons, because they understood that there are only five TYPES of weapon. Once you learn the principles of a representative device, they can be applied to many readily available items. Thus making it unnecessary to carry a weapon, because one can be improvised virtually anywhere. Having a weapon in hand, even if only a handful of sand, can give anyone the courage to be a warrior.
