Targets
Target accuracy as well as good body flow is a must, using effective strikes on specific points on the attackers body
Understanding body mechanics is a very important skill, 'Where' to strike is as important as 'How' to strike
Constantly make continuous false moves with your weapon. Targets are the hand and from the throat to the knee area and follow up with a slash, trust to the arm / wrist / hands / face / throat
It is also important to note, that how a weapon will be used is dictated by the range of the target
Whatever is closest to you!
