tatsujin Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The kama isn't a favorite weapon of mine, but when I saw this...it really jumped out to me. What do you think?A single one costs about $70 and also comes with a snap on leather sheath for the blade. For me bujutsu is not a set of techniques, but a state of the body. Once the principles are integrated, the techniques surge spontaneously because the body is capable of adapting instantaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miick 11 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The kama isn't a favorite weapon of mine, but when I saw this...it really jumped out to me. What do you think?A single one costs about $70 and also comes with a snap on leather sheath for the blade.To me , I think its modern, flashy and impracticable - all the things I dont like . We used the type available at local hardware store in Okinawa . But I find these unsuitable for what we do . Now I prefer rubber ones - hard rubber . I would prefer wood - solid and all one piece with reinforcing between handle and blade . Like I got my wooden machetes made for training . I like to practice 'bunkai' from our 3 forms ; too dangerous with a sharp or pointy one and will cut, chunk, nick , a wooden weapon up in no time . Gamma is not a 'strong weapon' between the handle and blade - not 'head on clash' strong , it relies more on movement and sharp cutting and piecing power ; so I can deflect, knock, strike aside with the handle or near the join of handle to blade , even hook over with the thick end of the blade near the handle with the rubber version , so defense isnt greatly compromised ; yet I can slash cut and pierce with the rubber blade on the others body , across the throat ,hook behind the knee and lift , come in low for an 'insertion' and rip back to take out the femoral artery ... etc . techniques I would never practice on another , even with a blunt metal blade .

Montana Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm not crazy about the curve in the handle. It's going to throw the balance off unless you're just going to hold it like a hatchet.

sensei8 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'm not crazy about the curve in the handle. It's going to throw the balance off unless you're just going to hold it like a hatchet. I agree!! Can't imagine its application with an attached cord. UNLESS the cord is so I'd not accidently drop it while using it only as a hatchet!!Does look intimidatingly wicked. **Proof is on the floor!!!
