Sai & Shotokan Karate Techniques : Sai Weapon Training

[pinkeyepork]

Would anyone recommend buying a pair of sai from ebay? I found a nice pair on there that caught my fancy and I have a inspiration these types of things, I'm pretty good with nunchaku's and I want to give the sai a try and where I live I dont know where to buy any for a reasonable price, so is it safe to buy a pair? The description of the sai is 18 inch black full tang metal.

See I'm trying to learn a more 'sporty' version of sai for a musical form in competitions. My sensei was telling me of these guys that use to do a sporty sai but he had forgotten their names. This video was helpful for basic spins but I had already figured them out on my own and am looking for more. Does anyone have any ideas who my sensei might have been referring to?

[papomama11]

he"s got demonstration sai's which are made of alluminum,the real ones are made of iron and are a bit longer and heavy,i got a pair of real ones that are badass,and there illegal to own i heard from my uncle who gave them to me.

@papomama11 why would u say that online?! any1 can find it 0_o

[papomama11]

@crossbonegems dont matter

[neverbackdown1983]

@papomama11 Nunchaku are also illegal apparently.

[papomama11]

@neverbackdown1983 yea that sucks,i had those too,but i had mine taken from me a long time ago

[Firepantheress]

i am one of the only people at my whole karate school that is wanting to take up sai's and I am proud to be learning the weapon. Its a cool weapon that can hurt badly if used properly...

Listen, kids... Join Kung Fu - Exponentially more abundant techniques that Karate !

[tombraidertuff]

i cant wait to get my pair soon

[bleachsmoker]

dude, this is retarded. he says you can't do a lot of techniques with the knuckle out. you can do pretty much any karate move with the sai in this position. he doesn't even talk about blocking or hooking from this position.

Expert village = experts at being lame

same with your guitar making tutorials.

punch in the wall.

Cool vid! Thanks! Just bought me a pair of sai's my self.. Mostly because i want to make my arms stronger.. Training krav maga myself, and want my wrists to be stronger.. Think this is a great training..

[zeromaster212]

The pointed stabbing part of a sai isn't the only way to hurt someone with these. You can also use the handle between the fingers to use like an extended more concentrated bronze knuckle except made with steel. I have a pair of sai myself and I analyze every aspect of a weapon before use.

[vastatoris]

don't forget that on short range you can use the "knuckle" to punch in soft sports or the solar plexus, while protect your underarm with the long "blade" of the sai. And yes, I know that their technically is no "blade" on the sai, is round, or octagonal. But, yea you get my point of view

[marcospaulodearaujos]

where can i buy a sai, or practice in some place?

[zcm007attack]

you can buy them online, or at martial arts shops. go to bushido martial arts supplies, they have lots of fight training equipment there, even weapons

[RazeAnimations]

@marcospaulodearaujos Go on amazon for a pair of rubber practise sai's, then go for proper ones, thats what im doing... Getting a collection of practise okanawa weaponary, then am going to slowly replace them with real ones.

[dagashi84]

@RazeAnimations

Actually with Sai it's probably better to get the real stuff from the start. Actually with all weapons... Rubber weapons inspire laxity with proper grip and technique because they are of less danger to the wielder. You get false confidence and when you finally wield the real thing... you're in for a nasty surprise...

1st one =] !!! nice vid

[sensetarget]

remember this is only good for fun.

it takes 1 stab to injure or kill a person and a straight stab or hook stab is more useful then this.
