The relationship fro Kali to Kempo starts with double stick sets based on MK and major Kempo sets

Five Swords with Swords being the first and best example

With Kali we hit the stix, but know this represents hitting the hand or forearm - once a defang is achieved we are then armed against an unarmed opponent

Kempo stix start with a punch or kick attack for us to get the reference for the foream and/or shin and to keep us in the habit of sentenashi, our first technique being defensive

Disarms are done in Kali and in Kempo sets such as Storm sets
