All japanese martial artists should be aware that there empty hand techniques were developed using the movements of the Sword, Tanto (short knife), the yari (spear), and the Stave arts (Jodo, Bo-jutsu). For anyone interested in the Martial Arts of Japan, i recommend you keep an open mind. I train in a Koryu-Bujutsu style school that teaches all manner of stick and blade weapons, as well as hand techniques. Remember this (especially those interested in Karate)...Learning weapons will make your empty-hand techniques more fluent, and significantly more effective.
