Anytime one goes to ground, the opportunity may arise to use the legs and feet in a choke hold. Brazilian JuJitsu is one of the most common arts that specializes in ground fighting, but all martial artists will at least attempt such a move if the opportunity arises.

Can martial arts training be considered a weapon in a court of law?
No, martial arts training is not a weapon.However, many jurisdictions in the US do consider the use of hands and feet as enough to increase the charge from assault (aka, simple assault) to aggravated assault. This means the use of hands and feet during an assault (whether they are those of a professional or trained martial artist or a normal person) can be charged as a felony. Courts have been reluctant to rule that footwear is a dangerous weapon, though a pair of shoes certainly can increase the damage done by a kick.See below link for further info:

What types of martial arts use knees and elbows?
Elbows in Martial artsMost striking oriented martial arts (esp. the "hard" arts) that are based more in combat than competition utilize the devistating potential of elbow strikes. In fact, the reason most competition oriented or sport martial arts consider them illegal is because of their effectiveness. Traditional Japanese and Okinawan striking arts such as Karate and Shotokan train to use elbows when appropriate. Combat oriented Taekwondo schools, of which there are unfortunately few, also use them to compliment their hand and foot striking techniques, though they are not legal in tournament competition. If there were one art in particular to highlight for its expert use of elbows, it would have to be traditional Thai kickboxing or Muay Thai.The striking techniques in Muay Thai are all centered around impacting the target with brutal force using highly conditioned surfaces of the body. As a western kickboxer has excellent hands and feet, a Thai kickboxer also brings to the table elbows and knees that have been conditioned, condensed and hardened through training specific to that end (see also "Wolf's Law" of bone density).There isn't many martial arts that don't use elbows
