4. One thing this form did for me is it learned me to handle two knives in my hands without constantly cutting myself. And yes. I do train this with kinda sharp knives too (in Dutch: aardappelschilmesjes LOL).
Anyway: thanks a lot for the comment Todd, critisism not taken personally ;-)
@marcel32us 3. I can only have a solid opinion about the usefullness of a form if I first study the form. People will argument that I should then train to catch bullits between my teeth before stating that ain't gonna work. BUT: the difference between form 8 and catching bullits is that form 8 is in the system and catching bullits is not. I do want a solid opinion about everything that is in the system, and I'll stick to just the assumption that catching bullits ain't working.
@KenpoGuyProductions Let me start by saying I see your point regarding the usefullness of this form. There's a couple of reasons however that I still wanted to learn it.
1. Not a very good reason, but yes it is required for fifth degree.
2. Another pointless reason: I am a collector. If I collect anything, then I want to have it all, including the not so nice stuff. Among all the other reason I train Kenpo I also collect the system.
Honestly, first I thing that you are probably the most fluid person I have seen doing that form!!! Please don't take this next part personally, I don't understand why anyone would bother to learn that form? You learned it so tell me why? is it just the next thing you have to learn to test for fifth or is there some profound reason that I am missing? I just don't get it, when I look at the form and the tech's within the form it makes no sense at all! No offense intended Marcel you do a great job.
