Yes and No. It’s a misconception that the Yo-Yo WAS a weapon, however if WAS the inspiration for a weapon:
“It consisted of a four pound stone attached to a rope about 20 feet long. Tribesmen used it in two ways. When hunting, they stood off to one side, held one end of the rope and threw the rock towards the legs of an animal. The rope became tangled around the animals legs, and with a tug, the hunter brought the animal down. Against enemies, the stones would be dropped on their heads. The tribesmen would quickly recover the stones, ready for a second blow if necessary.”
There’s been art of these in use found, and a few of the “tools” have been found. Most without the surviving rope. Though some have been found with threads or pieces of the rope. I believe there’s several in the Smithsonian.

Uhh, what?
After reading this, I think something wrong. I must not be a yoyoer…
I… walk the dog, don’t get sore arms, enjoy discussing the benefits of an expensive yoyo, let people walk the dog, use just up and down yoyos, don’t carry a yoyo in my pocket, feel bad for hitting people (which rarely happens, thankfully), don’t practice (I play yoyo occasionally, that’s all), don’t find myself in much pain from yoyo playing, don’t use it as self defense, use slack with meaning only, am not picky about string, walk the dog on water (FUN!), have a wood yoyo, and appreciate vibe.
I’m not doing it right according to y’all… but it feels right to me.

Finally
1. No matter what we do or how we do it, there is no correct way of doing things. Yo-yoing is creativity and a million hours of practice do not make us pros. It is dedication and fun that truly makes a yo-yoer a yo-yoer pro or not.
PS: I was waiting for someone to say that for this fact.
