I don't know why but if you make do this by an Asian, I am sure I would be much more conviced ...

Very nice kata, my compliments for expressing the 'art-form' that underlies Sai training! Its nice to see a demonstration of sai kata that expresses the fluid-complexities, rather than the robotic straight line thrusts, blunt strikes, blocks, and what I call, Frankenstein footwork; that may very well be applicable, if your body mass is that of Frankenstien! Chatanyara Sai!

@jdlhnew If you think the study of martial culture is only an art, this would be your foundational misunderstanding. It is 100% science. Learning to gain an advantage on an attack is nothing but physics and geometry. Your inability to listen to what I am saying simply shows you are not really interested in learning how to use the weapon. You want to practice it to your own desire, which is fine. but you'll never really learn anything about it without learning the history behind it. Have fun

@jdlhnew You are right...seriously. Playing with the sai is absolutely OK. I hope you have fun with them. But there is a difference between playing pretend and actually knowing what you're doing.
As far as not making waves, I think the use of the term Taoism as a descriptor for this is misplaced. All ancient Asian religions: Hindu, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shinto have attributes that I think you are associating incorrectly. It is simply the Asian culture that tends to preserve tradition

@robertmrivers Now, do you actually want to learn something from traditionalists who are experts in the foundational teachings of the weapon so that you can THEN evolve it or do you want to sit there and pretend you already know it all. 99% choose the latter and become expert commentators on youtube. 1% choose the former and educate themselves to become actual experts. Your choice. Good Luck

Taoist phil.? What does that have to do with anything? Do you know what a taoist is? Ur argument makes no sense.
A good analogy for u is why do we learn to do math when we have calculators? You have to learn the fundamentals and the "why" of it in order to appreciate it and then the evolve it.
Picking up sai and trying to figure out "new" and "innovative" techniques without mastering its true intention FIRST is like trying to make a calculator more efficient without knowing how to add.

@jdlhnew Well said

So does this kata require 3 sai's or just two because it looked like you are suppose to throw one sai and get another from your belt if anyone can let me know that would be great

So comforting to spew your frustrations from behind the safety of a monitor.
As master Yoda says "hate leads to the Dark Side" :-p
