As with most schools we start these weaving drills with two sticks. Somewhere we end up tossing one stick and maintain these drills with our empty hand. We work them a lot with wooden daggers and like the sticks we end up tossing one of these daggers using this same pattern with a dagger and empty hand. At this point students begin to see the light. When they seem to get this certain glimmer in their eye then we work on inserts into our forms. I don't like to see fighting prior to a glimmer and then, afterwards we work a little more. Especially, when armor is used. I like to see a little beauty amongst the chaos : ) Its easier for students to learn better defense when there's less armor. You get to see great sweeps, up and down and figure eight patterns and less taking a good shot to tackle your opponent. Not that the later is real bad for I've done this on the street but FMA is also an art form.
