The other day, while running through the anyos, I decided I'd take a look at the empty hand applications to the stick forms. Basically, running though the form, empty hand, doing the same movements as if I had a stick, and looking at the various applications contained in the form.
For example: with the stick in hand, possible applications could be blocking a strike to your leg with the stick, or doing a #1 or #2 strike to your opponent. Empty hand, a possible application could be off of a low punch. Blocking down with your left, to the inside of the arm, while striking to the outside of the arm with your right, above the elbow. From there, turning into a compress elbow is a possible option.
Has anyone else gone through the stick anyos in the fashion? If you have, I'd be interested to hear what you've discovered.
