Do kata with them?
Denis
Not formal kata. I suppose freeform flow drill is an accurate description of what I do. I've also found that doing simple motions with a kukri at low speeds improves technique and muscle strength. I need to do that more often. I've also found that swinging a real heavy kukri around at high speed improves strength and speed. A little while back I had a PT session that was basic karate. During one part they had us punching x-ray sheets because they make good targets as they won't hurt you and they make a lot of noise when you hit them. I'd never done karate, but many people became convinced that I had because of the strength and speed I was putting into it.
I'd use the wooden kukri Bawanna made for me for sparring, but I've had no success finding a partner. I've also had no luck finding a local instructor, so a lot of my learning is solo, or from corresponding with my mentor and reading his book on the subject.
