Sai vs Bo Finale

[TheCombatMunkey]

I used to fight with a sai and bo staff till I took an arrow to the knee...

[cirkelkick]

@TheCombatMunkey well, ever taken a sai to the knee? not funny... at all!!!

[murmure94]

impressive video i like^^

[IMSOKOOLful]

u guys wanna see a real sword fight? check out the mummy returns. nefertiri vs auck su namun

[DarknessProphet]

@KaelNL

You kick because you need to use the sai on pressure points where they can (and most likely will) be fatal, so it is not allowed during training.

[blackbelt807]

lol twoo say`s in my hands hmmm i ignore the says and just kick lol

[SuperMOSRITE]

this video is so ridiculous! LOL "i have 2 sai in my hand, so what's my tactic?... Hmmmm,...kick the other guy!" I could not have laughed so much in my life

[anteatereaterant]

Raph and Donny would be proud

[MsMagikid]

Down with the sickness lol

[rkkim]

These guys should dress up as Ninja Turtles... Donatello vs Raphael

[oishiasan]

hiiiya! hiiiya!!!!hiiiiiya! ...rotating: hiiiya!

[loco320]

i got no time to learn to use say????? ILL JUST BUY A GUN

[pinkeyepork]

@loco320 Too bad guns are for pussies.

[loco320]

@pinkeyepork yeah, but you cant outsmart a bullet!

[pinkeyepork]

@loco320 And even though I think guns are for pussies you are correct sir

[IsaiahStoryTime]

booo white people

[crowecanada]

lame. i bet neither of those guys has ever kissed a girl.

[superfrisbie]

0:50- Sweet recovery

[summerdying111]

Mad gay man. This martial arts is garbage. Just learn boxing and then you can kick any of these guys ass.

[mnvinn]

@summerdying111 It's not the martial arts, it's the fighter who is trained in it. Obviously they aren't good at coreographing fights, so they are bound to make the martial arts they represent look mediocre.

[cirkelkick]

@summerdying111 no, u cant KICK someones ass with boxing. boxing is 100% punching...

[jacswa]

@summerdying111 Psh, if martial arts was easy they'd call it boxing.

[conlanrocks]

HAHA i stole your sai!

[lforsdyke]

Raphael beats Donatello every time

[talkfan]

maybe the dumbest demonstration I've ever seen.....up there anyway

[joaosantos2]

Too much screaming and not enough technique...

[armanyoo]

I hope one of these guys tries to fight me with sai's, so I can personally end there life

[samuraiajg]

These guys belong in Hollywood. A lot of show and No Go. Hope they never get attacked by a boy from the Hood.

[Shoreihito]

how much further from reality can you ever get?

[KaelNL]

I have 2 sai in my hand, so what's my tactic?... Hmmmm,... kick the other guy!

[TheJamesmattin]

@KaelNL Sai are defensive weapons - not offensive. They're not sharp, and they're heavy. They're not meant for stabbing or striking, just blocking. :)

[KaelNL]

@TheJamesmattin

Thanks. I teach kobudo. We block with sais. We strike with sais, as they can easily break bone. We punch with them and sometimes we even stab with them, as even the blunt sai will easily penetrate flesh.It's all in the kata.

I was commenting on the choice of the attacks by the sai guy. Although he has sais and the other a staff, he chooses to attack with kicks. Several times. Very flashy and movie like. Nice for a kids demo. Nice kicks too. But I like my demos 2B more realistic

[TheJamesmattin]

@KaelNL That's like stabbing someone with a butterknife. I own sai, and my friend Sam is teaching me how to use them. They're heavy, but the shape AND the bluntness would make it impossible to penetrate skin. Break bone, or get in between bone - yes. But not pierce skin...

[KaelNL]

@TheJamesmattin

Well then. Let Sam punch you with the pointy (not sharp) end full power to your body.

Then again, maybe safer to watch YouTube, look for "San-Cho Zai - Kata with 3 Sais " Start at 2:50. See how many stabs are in that kata and the easy with which he throws a relatively blunt sai in the wood.

I have no doubt. Our sais are not sharpened. They block, strike and punch weapons. But they can be driven into a body. Then again, I'm sure I can ram a butterknife between ribs through skin.

[RandyRhoads1990]

@KaelNL I ONCE PIERCE MY HAND WITH A NON SHARP SAI IT WAS AN ACCIDENT BUT STILL I HAD A HOLE ON MY HAND SO YEAH IT CAN PENETRATO BECAUSE IT'S SOLID AND IT'S THIN ENOUGH TO GO INSIDE. REMEMBER PHYSCIS THE SMALLER THE AREA, THE BIGGER THE PRESSURE, SO GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT IS A THIN WEAPONG IT CAN RESIST ENOUGH PRESSURE TO GO INSIDE THE BODY.

[outsidepers]

@KaelNL A stabbing motion is not neccessarily a piercing motion, many thrusting stabbing motions in jo and bo staff forms, but no one expects a staff to travel through someones torso.

[KaelNL]

@outsidepers

True. But not relevant, since we're talking sai here. Did you see the vid I referred to? Name me something you can throw in wood, but can't pierce skin with.

Maybe you use a sai more blunt than that or mine? My sai aren't sharp, though they're certainly not blunt - unlike of course bo and jo. I know our sai can pierce skin and flesh. If only from accidents RandyRhoads1990 mentions.

[outsidepers]

@KaelNL Sai are farming tools for threshing hay, I've seen Sai that could pierce if you threw it into wood, and Sai that definatly wouldn't pierce if you threw into wood.

If we are talking about Sai as the tool for threshing hay, I don't see why it would be standard for them to be pointy objects that could stab.

[KaelNL]

@outsidepers

If a sai was for threshing hay, indeed you would be right. Well, I won't see the point in repetition, so I'll leave it at this. Some people use use threshing sai for striking, other use sai which can be used in more than one form of attack. Personally, I like the kata with strikes, punches, blocks and stabs. YMMV

[outsidepers]

@KaelNL I'm not saying that you can't stab with a Sai, I'm just saying don't expect it's thrusting movements to be as all purpose as an actual knife.

Stab somone with moderate force in the abdomen and you'll cause bruising with a sai, with a knife its lethal. Sai thrusts to be lethal would have to be targeted under the arms or at the throat etc it would seem.

[l2q]

@KaelNL when i would spar around with my freinds with wooden weapons they would get mad at me because i used to use my legs when i had the katana

[seanw23]

just curious, the plural for Sai is just Sai? not Sai's?

[KaelNL]

@seanw23

In Japanese the plural and singular are the same AFAIK, so yes. Context of the sentence determines what it is.

However, since words like sai, tonfa etc are sort-of adopted in english, I reckon sais is good too. You see both used.

[predetor01]

this sucks ass... they're shit actors

[silv3rs0ul]

failures 

[webreakthequiet]

it woulda been funny if he actually stabbed him on accident

[IKeiichiroI]

@webreakthequiet hahaha at the last part the guy sliped and woops OMG haha

[explodingtacoinc]

@webreakthequiet ...Would it have? You're a horrible person.

[karate16brad]

amazing :P

[VengeanceIV]

Disturbed ftw ^_^

[redphantom85617]

Someone can get hurt with the sais

[BMunich16]

@redphantom85617 sais arent sharp weapons

[seanw23]

@BMunich16 still, they could cut through flesh if the guy drove it deep enough.

(just saying)

[TheJamesmattin]

@seanw23 A human couldn't do it. But if it were to be used as a projectile weapon from some form of propellant, yes. It'd be like trying to run you through with a solid, blunt, metal cylinder... Impossible.

[albeaver89]

very cheesey

[albeaver89]

CHEESY!

[snapper842002]

this is AWFUL

[adrianovt]

what is dragon ball?XD

[TsInferno]

wrestling xD

[hamsterfreak2]

that was pretty cool....i love fighting with Sais

[FIREFOX274]

fuk no fuk no fuk no fuk no fuuuuk no bo staff owns i would whoop his ass

[00scuff00]

whoot my 2 fav ma weapons

[icetoba]

what art is this? i can tell its a korean art bc you can see the korean flag

[Qulopuaa]

@icetoba Bo and Sai is from okinawa Japan.Sai was the "police" weapon? against warriors gone "drunk" berserking with swords

[icetoba]

yeah but doesnt mean the art is from a different country.. . the only flag i saw was korean and the sai was actual a farming tool in okinawa its a pitch fork but just the end

[PbandJae]

still, it's always been a weapon I've been personally interested in. I saw a sai kata that I found very appropriate being as they were originally designed to combat katana, at least that's what I understand. As long as I can see how and why the movements work, I'd say it's a teachable discipline.

[narutofreaktenten]

I HATE THE CONTINUOUS NOISES FROM THE GUY WITH THE SAI'S!!!!!!!! SHOUT ONCE (i don't know hot to spell the proper term for it) OR TWICE ON THE REALLY POWERFUL STRIKES BUT NOT EVERY TIME YOU SLASH THE STUPID THING AROUND IN THE AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[voltorbffs]

@narutofreaktenten,

Shouting each time you twist your body or strike helps you flex your abdominal muscles.

not saying the freak in the vid's doing it right, but "shout once or twice for really powerful strikes" is an equally ridiculous statement.

[PbandJae]

i think it's technically zai when you're speaking of two. *shrug* not that I care.

[xbxKyuubixbx]

@narutofreaktenten i agree

[kicks949]

this is fucking bullshit, i use to be a demo team captian when i trained in tai kwon do, but we never put on demos as gay as this shit

[Kettenbriefabbrecher]

Nice demo.

Which kind of Martial Art is it?

[PbandJae]

well, the kabudo (sp?)(weapons) is it's own thing but I swer I saw a tae kwon do kick (rather, quite a few) in there

[xbxKyuubixbx]

@PbandJae y me too. that was more show than real kobudo

[shububu212]

lol this is ridicolous

[dannyboy1992]

KEY WORD IS DEMO

[NeutralArtist94]

oh ok, thank you

[NeutralArtist94]

this is so fake, in a real fight they both would have been already out cold or at least maimed or at least home i do martial arts they would have

[naha108]

This is complete BS!!!

[ciccarello]

was amazing about half way then then became a bit too over dramtic

[MarioKartsprinter]

bo staff vs sai daggers? bo staff all the way!

[Lightshini]

0:20 wtf was that.. He fell because....? This fight was so lame to me.. All they did was fall for nothing

[MMAsteelcage]

he fell because the bo staff hit his leg.  its kinda hard to see so you have to pause it. and also of course the match sucks. its to 16 wannabee fighters and its choreographed

[hal02modder]

1:34 WTF?????

[7Ronin49]

This is retarded, the closest martial art to the "technique" in this would be karate, however they do not train to use weaponry or to grapple.

[biggershoesatbush]

Go Cobra Kai !

where the f#$k is daniel larusso when we need him

[VillanuevaRafael]

What martial art is it?

[MymindisaMaze]

Hmm maybe i shouldn't call it "fake", but still. Down with the sickness? really? Hardly appropriate for the moment lol

[MymindisaMaze]

...wtf...fake sparring with down with the sickness backround music?

[jearnette]

...no

[sweetrolls016]

the guy with long hair doesent really seems into it, looks like somone from the aduience who they pulled up on stage and dont know what to do

[BushidoBudo9000]

This looks like a Demo. Too fluid for guys with no protective gear.

[UJIM0T0]

RAPHAEL!!!

[MaverickTheLeopard]

DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS!!!!!!!!!!

[dmytromtx]

raffaelo vs leonardo :)

[MapleClericBoy]

you mean raffaelo vs donotelo :p

leonardo is dual swords

[dmytromtx]

yes,i mean raffaelo vs donotelo :)

[dmytromtx]

looks like wrestling:)

[doom13131]

It was still an awsm vid and both guys were really good i wouldnt take them on in a fight but im only a green belt

[katafreak]

i thought it was very nice showmanship. but it did not demonstrate the proper use of either weapon. they are both okinawan weapons and you would never see jumpkicks like that or flashy twirls. excellent for entertainment but not at all traditional or accurate

[dgabbless]

who cares about being traditional? although i agree they are pretty terrible.

[rockon325]

Man i can't wait till my next tournament. I'm a 3rd degree brown belt and im really talented with a staff. Im training hard as hell to perfect my moves so i can fight next match

[BathosMetalDrummer]

pat on ur own back...

[joeyant24]

lol what a couple of fags

[tasimradi]

Even they are black belt, but their skills not like black belt. Why they run so much??? is look really not nice for the demo...

[dgabbless]

this is a choreographed demo, and i agree, the do execute poor form (dropping stance, elaborate moves, etc). this video has only served to deter me from this style.

[ZaGureetoNoh]

Do you know what a sai is made for? It's a defense and disarment weapon. NOT used to stab the opponent (1:20 min.).

[Shihanpain13]

uh yeah it is

[johnellhyuga]

it can be used offensly too...different variations

[xuxsxaxfx]

The sai was made to trap and break swords. It can be used to stab very effectively and if you choose not to use it that way then you are merely limiting yourself in its use.

[SekkaSnowflake]

Well it can be used to stab, but here in the vid it looks like he's stabing him trough the heart.

If the opponent is on the ground already you don't have to do this. The Sai is not made for that. The stab is only done very quick to significant bodyparts like the stomach, the inner knees and the armpit were the sensitive lymph node is. Its a defense and only used to

make your opponent unfit for fighting you.

It's not for killing.

[1Fireycat]

That's true, but the sai can pierce the hear if the point is sharpened enough

[WyldMooN00]

However, traditionnal Sais were blunt and not piercing

[dgabbless]

bugger that, its a weapon. if he is on the ground, and you want him dead, you stab him somewhere that is going to kill him, ie heart, throat, eye. i agree that when fighting it is more effective to stab in the places you mentioned, but in reality, you stab them where you can when you can.

also, "It's not for killing." no. it is a weapon, it can be used however the user wants. so if they user wants to kill with them, he most certainly can.

[BushidoBudo9000]

Are you sure about that? A Katana sword is made of one of the most durable steels ever, plus the way its folded and all.

I was under the understanding that the two loops on the Sai hilt, trapped a sword which allowed for the second sai to engage in counter attack. Not really breaking it, since that would really be almost impossible.

[dgabbless]

actually that is shit. katanas can be made out of whatever you want really. but traditional katanas were made out of whatever the swordsmiths could get there hands on, as there arent many iron or coal deposits in japan. even the top quality damascus steel swords didnt hold up as well as many german or middle eastern steels or sword making methods.

also, the hilts on a sai can also be used to hold it backwards with the point protruding past ones elbow.

[BushidoBudo9000]

Real Katanas are made out of the steel from a riverbed and are folded repeatedly into a powerful, durable finish.

Maybe the shitty ones were made of whatever the makers could get their hands on, but the top quality swords made by skilled makers were very durable. More than any other sword.

[dgabbless]

from a riverbed? what? why does that even matter? quality of the steel is dependent on the refining process, not whether or not its form a goddamn riverbed.

sorry if this sounds insulting but you sound like a japan fanboy praising these swords. i admit that the best swords were on average more durable for their weight, but these swords were far and few between, as they were very expensive. however, even then the best swordmakers have always come from egypt, persia, etc.

[BushidoBudo9000]

All I am saying is that the way the Katana is formed makes it very durable. there were probably a LOT of a half-assed samurai who had shitty swords, I don't doubt that, but the fact of the matter is, you can't break a katana sword in half with a si.

[dgabbless]

no shit you cant, sai's weigh too little etc etc. you can however break one with a big hammer/mallet/anything else that is hard and has weight behind it. same goes for alot of swords.

also most people who used these swords were called "bushi", samurai were the japanese equivalent of nobles

[shoushu12]

actually you can. yes i understand its not easy. but when its caught between both the prongs twisting your wrist with force wont shatter it but it will break it

[blystyryng]

don't get me wrong, though, you score a 5 from me ;) I just think you'd be able to add those in seamlessly, given your apparent high level of performance

[blystyryng]

constructive criticism alert: very nice strike response, especially the pound section ~40. coming from a demo team member, also, the distance you two put between is too much too often; just one rush would be great, unless you include an aerial attack to mix up the defense (e.g. jump sidekick @ the bo, who drops down and uses a lateral strike to smack sai back down). moves that reduce the body size (crouch, jumps) while swinging the weapon (while sai is down, crouch into a groundsmack) looks huge

[hedlessniper]

fucking retards read the descriptions ffs

[trevisfat]

this is so fake

and u know it!

[chyn3gro]

hello did you read the description "A choreographed demonstration"

[darucha17]

Action movie is fake too

[todaysnewsortomorrow]

[Miyazaki349]

[BlackFires51]

Beautiful

[suzum69]
