The following chart illustrates a two man drill where the primary weapon is listed first and the attacker has the second weapon listed in the row.  A series of attack and defense waza are taught for each. Their origins represent a marriage from both Shorin Ryu kata and Motobu Ryu applications. Many of the techniques relate directly to the kobudo kata bunkai.
