Khukuri Kata

My suggestion is intended to help you discover new things about fighting with the khukuri that you might not see if you "intend" to USE the khukuri in the fight.
It's a form of deliberate naivete. You move as though you have no weapon.
At some point, the weapon itself will kind of jump in and say "here! now".
It sounds crazy, I know it, but give it a chance and let me know what you think.
(yes, this is ninja fighting, but I dont know anything else, really)

I think that's the next stage.
Once one is so used to wielding the kukri that it becomes a part of their body, then they can move on to what you are talking about, where the kukri will jump in when needed and not be a crutch.

I don't think what you are talking about can be done until wielding the weapon is second nature.

my background is FMA and stickfighting. I felt it was a natural progression to move to machettes and decided to use the Kuhkri...

I actually need to pick up a new set of Kuhks...<off to search the interwebs>

IMO the Uddha swords are perfect for FMA.
