Ryu Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 I am buying a set of Kamas, well, I am trying to save the money up to buy a pair. I was wondering who else has Kamas, and who enjoys them? I am buying three pairs, a wooden pair, a demo pair, and a Mike Chat Kamas by Macho pair. This Poll will be up for two weeks. Ryan "Ryu" SomersBlue Belt - ITF Tae Kwon Do2 Years - Basic Hapkido

tommarker Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 In the hands of a skilled user, they would produce quite the bowel-evacuating reaction. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
Blade Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 I've never had any weapons, although kamas do look cool. I want to get a pair sometime.
Sauzin Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Kama's are good, many come razor sharp though so be careful. Do not practice with the sharp ones unless you have a qualified instructor showing you the tricks of the trade. A week and a half ago a guy who occasionally works out with us was practicing on his own with a new set. He goes to do an overhead strike with the back side of the sai and slashes his back near his shoulder blade. 16 stitches later he has decided not to practice with them alone anymore. They are dangerous, to yourself. Learn rules and tricks of using them and they are great! -Paul Holsinger The only two things that stand between an effective art and one that isn't are a tradition to draw knowledge from and the mind to practice it.
KoreanTiger30 Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 The kamas are one of my favorite weapons. One reson is the traditional side ot kamas and second because of their effectiveness. I was told by my master form Korea who's father used kamas for 70 years as a farmer and I saw a video of his father and his techniques were the best i have ever seen jsut form using them all the time. They were the greatest self defense weapon against swordsman and such. In the hands of a skilled practioner they could defend against about any weapon.

aznkarateboi Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Heh, how about against a nine sectional whip?
KoreanTiger30 Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I have actually seen the kama defend against a nine section whip , the masters were free sparring one time with weapons and the whip was spinning and th emaster caught it between the blades of the kamas.

monkeygirl Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Kama/kusarigama are my favorite weapon! I've found them to be pretty intuitive and natural feeling. I feel like I could do some pretty hefty damage with a real, sharp pair But boy do they hurt when you drop them on your toes 1st dan & Asst.
