Actually the worst part is that it look like you made it up as it when alone...Karate has a set of paterns called yakusoku kumite which basically it brakes down to been a two person kata, both of which must perform the techniques precisely...so is a matter of adding a weapon and you have the same result, ofcourse the angles of execution and distances will vary slightly but the same concept remains

@lobonegro4: Thanks for your comments. At our school we practice primarily Korean "Karate" or Tae Kwon Do (with a smattering of other styles). We tried to incorporate a number of them in this demonstration, including arnis, jiu jitsu, tae kwon do, kempo, and aikido. Needless to say, there aren't too many formal Kumite which contain all of these styles.

I would love to see some of your style. Will you be uploading any videos in the near future?

looks not realistic

The presentation was done for small children and untrained adults. As a result, we made the decision to us "stunt sparring" techniques to make it a bit more dramatic. Unfortunately, realism tends to suffer as a result.

look for jyoshimon shorin ryu, that's who I am associated with now, but saddly we are so involve with AAU WKF competitions and the Olympics coming up that we hardly beenable to upload anymore vids and the few ones were done in a hurry so as just to show the club champions and promote a little bit...althought not really we let our performance in tournament speak for ourselves.
