👉 A placing weapon, often used in martial arts and combat sports, is a specialized tool designed to immobilize an opponent by restricting their movement. Unlike traditional weapons such as swords or knives, placing weapons are typically non-lethal and focus on controlling an adversary's position to prevent them from escaping or counterattacking. These weapons can include items like wristbands, ankle restraints, or even modified everyday objects like chairs or tables. The primary purpose is to subdue the opponent, allowing for a safer resolution to a conflict or to gain tactical advantage in a fight. Mastery of placing weapons requires precision and control, as the goal is to secure a dominant position without causing serious harm.
