Starting Sai

[lordtariel]

So I had my first class with the sai yesterday. I'm going to get ready for a sai clinic we're having in May with Master Tomohiro Arashiro. Does anybody know who this person is or have gone to a clinic with him?

Welcome to the club. The sai is also my current hurdle for my Ni-dan test. I started a couple of years ago, but I'm really dragging my feet on becoming proficient mainly because I did not own sais until very recently. Anyway, I hope the clinic goes well. Let us know if you pick up any interesting tips at your clinic. I'm still a bit new at this too so perhaps we can trade tips.
