Jumping kicks in weapons forms?

[aku aku]

At my kund fu class they just started teaching a saber form and it looks like there's several jump kicks in it. I was just wondering why they would put jump kicks in a weapon form? I'm sure they have their reasons, it just seems like a bad idea to me.

For show. Are you sure you are not taking modern wushu? If you are, most of that stuff is for show.

You should also post this in the Korean forumn.

I think he said it's the baqua saber form in case anyone's familiar with it. No relation to the martial art style of bagua.
