Hook? We must not be thinking about the same thing... I'm talking about a straight(generally) thrusting punch made with a _passing_ step. Doesn't have to be straight ofcourse, but that's the most...
Why the heck did I just read that as _war_ ad?
Alot of traditional arts seem to train against this almost exlusively. Why?

Vapour, which teachers instructs in these weapons? Forms doesnt count..:)
Go to Indonesia. :D
I would love to learn some chinese jian skills, but folks instructing it in a practical manner seems pretty... rare indeed!
Yes, I practice the ARMA method... It's just a small group and none of us is terribly experienced (my instructor has 20 years in japanese martial arts prior), but I've been to one seminar with...
