Re: Weapon forms vary?
Not being an expert on forms, but not to bad at the sparring game.
weapons forms most likely vary because every weapon has its optimum effective range E.g. close range=knife and empty hand
Middle range= Stick or sword
Long Range= Bo, Jo, Spear.
also each weapon will have slightly different methods of parrying/blocking.
Forms are all to often fixed and not enough time or effort is given to a more flexible free form format for EFFECTIVE training.
