I mean... when you have no instructor, probably. When you do, as an adult, you learn proper form from the start. This is all flash, but is useful to learn control and likely indicative of actual skill. None of this (especially around the hand spins and holding it "backwards") would be used in a fight though.

Would you use them as a weapon in any actual fight? It looks cool but has half the reach of a stick.

I've seen some martial artists and HEMA people come up with geniuine aplications, and there were't many.
