i want to learn something but i can't right now. but my inspiration - *hides* I'ma huge ninja turtles nut, plus watching demonstrations, i just watched an awesome sai video clip so I want to learn sai. I feel i need the study for the discipline and health benefits. I want to do what I never thought i can do. not to mention the confidence building and knowing i can protect myself if needed....

hi, im new in here. i don't study the arts ... yet... i have a priority before i think about looking for somewhere to learn karate but i was wondering, i got this sai off ebay, I just wondered if they're cheapos or something actually decent. They have dragons on them and they're freakin heavy. I never seen a set like them before. Im sure they're cheapos. I liked the dragons on them so I was like, eh, for $20, who cares? hehe...they were cool. Here's a pic: http://www.deviantart.com/view/6562006/ and http://www.deviantart.com/view/6561970/ Opinions? Are they junk or ?? How do you tell if a set are decent or crap? I read that Shureido are like the best out there but they don't make round ones. I think those are better looking.
