WEAPON BONUS MATERIAL

The Mei Huan Dao kata combines graceful movements of the sword with dynamic and explosive movements of the body.  Including several acrobatic type moves, the timing of some of the combinations can be tricky, but look great once you are proficient.  

If you want to develop grace and flow, this is your form!  The blade and the body truly work in harmony in the form.  

The Katana is one of the most revered weapons of all time.  This form pays homage to the honor and respect of the Samurai and their code while demonstrating both the beauty and effectiveness of this weapon.  

The chain whip is a heavy but flexible weapon consisting of several sections of metal rods, each joined together by rings to form a flexible chain with a handle at one end and a dart at the other.  Because of its flexibility it can be used as a whip to hit, or it can be used to hook and bind an opponent using circular swinging motions.  Because of the links, the whip chain can be folded and hidden from view as is demonstrated in the beginning of the form.
