Knife Form Nonsense

*Originally uploaded elsewhere September 19, 2018. This was our second real location, rent sharing with The Phoenix Society of Historical Swordsmanship and Viñas Arnis. We were at this location between 2018 and 2021. 1829 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85016. We changed the name again to more accurately reflect our MMA with a focus on classical Chinese, French, and English Boxing: Black Sun Boxing. This is where we started to get more serious about filming content.*

~OP:
A rather lengthy rant about some of the problems with the Knife form. Barely even scratched the surface.
