Nikkolaiashimon Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 IM looking into purchasing a pair of Sais, and they come in many different lengths, and also in either octogonal or round. So how do i decide what length to get, and what do you think is better, round or octogonal??? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Cry in the Dojo, Laugh on the Battlefield.

AndrewGreen Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Basically which ever you prefer. "traditional" folk will say the sai should extend slightly past your elbow when held in a closed position. But depending on what you want to do with them, it is just a matter of preference. I prefer round as they don't eat through other weapons as fast. Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacificshore Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 At times your Sai can get caught up in your uniform and such. Sometimes a shorter lenght is best depending on the type of movements in your weapon kata. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMA_chick Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 octogonal and round are just how they look, so what ever you prefer. the size should be just below your elbo, but just a little bit. also, if you were thinking about color between black and chrome, i would go with chrome--they look better moving in the light Tae Kwon Do15-years oldpurple--belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
