Some FMA groups focus primarily on a particular weapon and range where as other groups are generalists and include a bit of everything.
The "specialists" often have very complex and highly evolved methods for addressing their chosen specialty, be that blade work, close-range single-stick, longer range, heavy stick, etc. where as the "generalists" seek to apply a more conceptual approach accross a wide range of weapons, from empty hands to the improvised use of ordinary objects for defensive purposes.
What is your system like? Does it tend more towards one or the other of these two approaches?
