MartialAGuy Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Hello everyone I’m freshly new and excited to be here. I’ve only recently begun to really train with weapons with real fervour and as a result I’m a big ignorant with the nuances of branding and editions. I picked up these Sais from a yard sale for the staggering amount of $5 US. I’m pretty sure that they are Shureido Sais just from certain features that are consistent with Shureido Sais but I was hoping anyone here could verify this and any other information about them would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 First of all, Welcome to KarateForums.com, MartialAGuy; glad that you're here!! The Sai's in your pictures look like Shureido Sai's. They're not Century Martial Arts Supply Store Sai's, which have distinctive Tsukagashirs. The basic rounded look of the Tsukagashirs found in your pictures make me believe that your Sai's are Shureido Sai's. Enjoy them!! 1 1 **Proof is on the floor!!!

Wastelander Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Welcome to the forums! Those definitely look like Shureido sai, to me. The big indicators for me are the flat moto, thick yoko, and plain round tsukagashira. There is always the possibility that they aren't Shureido, of course, since there are no markings to definitively confirm it, but they sure look like my late Sensei's sai. 1 Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
