Hello everyone, first time on the forums here.

Thought I would throw out a new topic. Do you study the relationship between empty hand forms and weapon forms. Have you ever done the weapons forms without the weapon to find the application?

I have done a weapons kata without the weapon before but I have also done empty hand katas with my weapons. It takes some adaptation but is very interesting.

We regulary do weapons kata without the weapons and empthy hand movements with a weapons to show that the principles are the same in each case.
