Arthur Dent June 8, 2010 at 19:25: Not as a weapon per se, but you are permitted to pin your opponent against it to keep them from dodging or rolling with your blows as well as they would otherwise.
Tom J June 8, 2010 at 19:44: not positive what you mean by weapon but by your example yes you can throw people into the fence. about the only thing that you can’t do is hold the fence. you can pin a guy down between the mat and fence to help hold him down. with all the moves that can be done to snap your joints or knock you out. the fence is the least of your worries.

Darb D June 8, 2010 at 20:56: yes you can throw your opponent into the cage
Rocky June 8, 2010 at 21:48: Yes it is.
