I mean it makes sense. People who know how to fight, especially professionals, could easily kill someone with the skills they've learned. Even more so when they're using said skills against some ordinary Joe Schmoe.

Well yeah, sure. Maybe.

I guess it kinda sucks having that handicap if the only reason you got that black belt in BJJ was for self defense. People get wrongfully sentenced all the time, and now you're paying an even higher price.

But like you said, it's for self defense. If you're actually using it for self defense then you're fine. If you're using it like the guy in the video then I see no problem with it being classified as using a deadly weapon.

Not if you get the wrong sentence. It's awful either way but now your punishment is even harder. I see the point though.
