These topics:
KALI and KEMPO have sets and drills that are Sophisticated and Complex
NINPO Sword and KOPPO Taijutsu are simple and direct and done from a longer stance and range
HANBO fits in well with this range and has locking and TD
WING CHUN once the three main levels have been completed - BART CHARM DAO Swords relate direct to the system
KARATE as Unarmed Self Defence is the same in the way it develops it's Weapons as they evolved from the farm tools
ALL Martial Arts start with Weapons and this is most often the SWORD
so ALL Unarmed Combat came from the Weapons movements, concepts and techniques
---------------------
KALI and KEMPO have sets and drills that are Sophisticated and Complex
KALI progresses from Double Stick to Single stick, moving through the three ranges
Largo Long
Sombrada - Medio - Medium
Hubud - Corto - Close
then to Knife and finally Empty Hand Panantukan
KEMPO range is closer than Karate, longer than Wing Chun
incorporates Kick, Punch and Trapping ranges
higher, shorter stance, faster hand movements
FIVE SWORDS done with sticks, with Empty Hands - the first MK technique and a good example of this
the Single stick at close range includes trapping, locking and TDs
2, 4, 6 and 8 are basic drills, then they get chained into a longer sequence of 20 strikes
the same applies with a Kempo set with an extension - a longer sequence
Thundering Hammers:
Block, body shot, the two hammer blows
add the next two head strikes
add the TD bit with the strikes
the ground stamp sequence
NINPO Sword and KOPPO Taijutsu are simple and direct and done from a longer stance and range
Using the NINPO BIKEN of Togakure and the longer Katana of Kukishinden battles were fought in armour
There are not complex long techniques in any Sword school
So KOPPO schools use shorter sequences from the longer range
BIKEN
Against a Sword cut, block then cut, possibly a second cut - there is no need for a long series of strikes
KOPPO
- against a grab or grab and strike, or against a punch or kick, maybe two, five at the most in the longest sets, use Ken and Keri Kudaki, keeping long range
- respond with a strike or two, maybe a TD
HANBO fits in well with this range and has locking and TD
- against a punch, kick or grab
- block, strike, lock, td

KARATE and WING CHUN
Developed as Civilian systems of Self Defence, including Unarmed Defence against weapons, multiple opponents, and the most difficult one of all
Unarmed Defence against Multiple Opponents with Weapons
The Weapons of these systems were added in later, as mentioned above, so we learn Karate and Wing Chun as Unarmed systems first, before adding the Weapons
For KEMPO we take the same approach and progression
Unarmed one on one
Multiple opponents
Weapon defences - Club, Knife, Gun
Double stick/club
Double Knife
This allows us to pair KEMPO with KALI as Kali starts with Weapons
NINPO which is the refinement of the NINJA Arts from the 9 schools
Taijutsu Unarmed
Mutodori Unarmed v Sword
Biken Sword v Sword
then we go from there

If it is made illegal to carry and use Weapons, the only people carrying and using them will be criminals
The Law Abiding Citizen who needs to defend himself and his family against these criminals needed a new strategy
From the Temples in China, to the farms in Okinawa, to the streets of modern England, and all the countries and time zones in between, we base our Unarmed Self Defence on WHAT WORKS, what has been handed down
We focus on WHAT WORKS

ALL Martial Arts start with Weapons and this is most often the SWORD
Warriors put on armour and drew their swords and went into battle
It was this way the World over, the Knights in England, across Europe, Greece and Rome, Asia, Samurai in Japan
Other weapons concerned other ranges
Longer weapons, spears and halberds
Short swords, knives
BLADE weapons
The STICK weapons were at first incidental eg the BO being the broken spear
so ALL Unarmed Combat came from the Weapons movements, concepts and techniques
In peacetime Self Defence arts were developed
Unarmed systems were developed in civilian clothing eg the Kimono
the WAR arts were preserved and passed on during peacetime to the next generation who again used them in the next War
Civilian tools became Weapon extensions of the new Unarmed systems, as in Karate and Wing Chun

This is seen is other Arts and Systems around the World
WING CHUN once the three main levels have been completed
Sil Lum Tao
Chum Kil
Bil Jee
with Mok Jong done in parallel
the BART CHARM DAO Swords relate direct to the system, and then cycle back in once this level is learned
Tan Sao with the hand becomes Tan Dao with the sword, etc
The Kwane comes after and uses WC principles at distance - and the blocking is still WC, and the strikes are to specific targets eg What we call Kasumi Uchi in Bojutsu
KARATE as Unarmed Self Defence is the same in the way it develops it's Weapons as they evolved from the farm tools
Bo, Tonfa, Nunchaku, Kama, Sai
The BO comes first
The Tonfa is obviously adapted from Karate blocking and striking
