SaiFightsMS Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 So does anyone work with sai? What do you like about them and if anything what don't you like about them?
ronryu Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Yes we work with sia currently I only know 1 sia kata which is Tsuriken haku no sai . but yes i enjoy working them i like doing basicks with them in stances for some reason it helps me concentrate on the stance and make it better . it was diffacult learning the stricks though . Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .Sandan Motobu ha Shi-to ryu karate Katsu ryu kempo Ryukyu kobudo

Joecooke007 Posted January 6, 2002 Posted January 6, 2002 sais are cool weapons. You can use them to pin swords. I am sorry to say that i am still too low a rank to practice them but when I get high enough my teacher has agreed to teach me. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee
SaiFightsMS Posted January 7, 2002 Author Posted January 7, 2002 Yes Joe sai are really pretty cool. They are one of the most popular weapons in my school. It is good to wait and get a good grounding in basic empty handed techniques before doing kobudo work. For many who start kobudo with the weapon in their hands they forget what their feet are doing. Stances go to pot. Incidently, one of the first moves many learn when using the sai is jumping to get the bare feet out of the way of dropped sai.
Pacificshore Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Sais are a fun weapon to learn and work with. They develop good arm and wrist strenght. One the flip side of that, they can wear you out too!!! Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
YODA Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 i have a pair of Sai that I no longer use - I have no need for them. They are quite long - Octagonal and chromed with a little pitting but still look good. They are in a red lined leather case. Free to a good home - i.e someone who will use them rather than hang them on their bedroom wall Tobias - anyone from your end coming past Wigan on the M6 could easily pick them up sometime.
