My teachers basically all taught hand techniques until you got near 3rd brown. Knife and gun techniques were reserved for the higher belts and with good reason.
People starting out have not yet the tools for basic defense and to add more dangerous situations only put more stress on them. Then too, the commitment of a student is clear if they're still around by the time they reach the brown belt rankings. A more rounded person and a better practicioner then can be shown more advanced techniques.
