Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using light hand weights (1 1/2 lbs) when doing kata?

Not many Ueichi ryu schools use the jars. Most dojos that teach students to use the jars for roughly five years.

..... Then the final reason is to make sure that you are serious about learning due to the fact that this is a excercise that is intruduced at the dan level. At that point you are a serious beginer in the arts.

I would actually say I honestly don't think it would make much difference to the power of the technique and if your doing it to trim up there are far better ways.
Surely weights on your wrists are called wrist weights, and weights on your ankle are called ankle weights? Or do you also get headaches in your stomach?Originally posted by RyuShiKan
Occasionally I use ankle weights on my wrists
This problem I understand perfectly from my time as the captain of Brixton Shorinji Kempo dojo in London. We even purchased a lockable cage to store our training equipment, and somebody tried to break into it, so in the end, we took the equipment home. I used to hump two do, two hand-held punching bags, and a bo, in addition to my own training kit and the membership register and paper files to and from every class. Here's what I'd like to do to the selfish miscreants who tried to jemmy open our cage:Originally posted by angrywhitepajamas
The dojo I train at in particular does not have them simply because we are a youth center and have to share the facility. The other reason I believe is for liability reasons. We have enough problems with the other patrons messing with our punching bag (imagine what would happen if they tried to pick it up and dropped it on them selves).
