SaiThe sai are a peasant weapon used in Okinawa. The Sai should be as long as your elbow to thumb crotch. This karate weapon was first used as a farm tool and later to fight against Samurais and their deadly swords. Sai TechniquesIt is difficult to tell the many uses of the Okinawan Saiand Modern Jutte. Some of the common uses are to flip it out and strike your enemy, block swords, strike with more power forward with a punch, or backward with an elbow. The sai and jutte were also both used to trap and disarm swordsmen. Sai As AToolOriginally the Sai were used to measure the distance between seeds in a crop. The Sai was poked into the ground or dragged along the ground and because of the forked shape it would leave three holes or 3 lines. When it was poked again, the farmer would line up the first and last hole and thus have an evenly spaced crop. After months and years of poking with this tool and flipping, resting, etc. a person could become quite proficient in putting the small point of this karate weapon exactly where he wanted it. |
