Form 8
This form is a double knife form
Traditionally in Kempo this has been the requirement for Fifth Dan, to learn this form and it's application
Unlike the stick form seven, this takes you out of simply striking with a tool, be it a natural weapon such as fist or shuto, or holding a stick or club, to using an edge weapon with the intent to cause severe injury or death
This is the place where Kempo meets kadena de Mano, the Kali chain of hand knife method
There are, of course, obvious parallels with Wing Chuns Bart Charm Dao form
