Speculations Why did black blade user Ryokugyu fight with a club as a kid?

It's not even a club. Just some random wooden stick he decorated with nails. Given his appearance as a kid, he looks like some homeless rowdy kid, similarly to Akainu when he ran around with a knife as a kid.

These guys and their clubs with nails 😐

I think it just indicates they were impoverished (poor)

Like they couldn't do any better than picking up a stick and hammering nails into it at the time

Greenbull was a bad kid though he was already drinking apparently lol

Yes, people correctly pointed out that using some random sticks with nails or pipes is just a sign of people/kids in poverty trying to weaponize anything they can get their hands on, and child Aramaki looks like some orphan living in the streets, unlike Issho who looks like he comes from a noble family enjoying formal education and training at a young age.

You don't need to be exposed to swordsmanship from a very young age to turn out as a proficient swordsman, in Rayleigh's flashback, young Roger didn't appear with a blade either. Similarly, Coby as a kid was a weakling without any combat ability but later became a proficient martial artists knowing how to use Rokushiki and even swordsmanship.
