      Hi Jesse, good video and clear instructions. Perhaps in future you can also include a full demo of the kata before or after talking through the moves? Really like as the video progresses because I can see the whole moves including the stances (from top to bottom)

    Honestly, I looked this up as a joke because I saw post telling me that my ultimate goal in life is to be Raphael, the turtle not the painter. But now I'm super interested in this, I've just gotten a pair of sais and I can't wait to start practicing! Thank you Mr. Enkamp

      I been a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan my whole life, and when I began studying martial arts I wondered if I would ever get a chance to work with Sais. Fast forward to the present and I have a pair of Sais that I am hoping to work on a regular basis this year. I also have a first degree Black Belt in Uechi Ryu Karate.

    Learning weapons has many benefits, including strengthening of the hands and arms. A beginner uses a sai as a held, foreign object. At an advanced level, it is about using an object as an extension of your own body - as part of your body. When you understand this, any object can become a weapon, and everything you touch becomes a different experience - even a fork. The elementary understanding of karate is to learn to defend, the advanced understanding is how to live.

    Hello Jesse-san! I have been studying Kobudo for some time under Shihan Roger Wehrhahn of Mountain Teachings. Thank you for providing such amazing and free content to the world. It is a truly selfless act and I have learned a lot from you. I noticed something that you are doing that I have been told should not be done, The thumb placement on the Sai when in the natural grip should not be above the Moto - the location where the Yoko or prongs extend out from the weapon, and instead should be placed below the Moto which still provides support but protects the thumb from getting struck when using the Sai in bunkai against another Sai or other weapon. It took me some time to get to the point where it is now very natural. Thank you again for all that you and your family do. The content you provide is exceptional. Arigato gozaimasu

    Fantastic video! Looks like you have a pair of Shureido sai! I have a pair of these sai myself. The steel variant. They were used in a dojo, so they had seen signs of wear. I learned how to re-wrapped the grips as the pair of sai were rusted underneath. I had since had the sai reconditioned via sand blasting, and then had a professional black powder coating put on them for preservation and protection against rust. Thanks for this instructional video. It can help me learn to use these sai. Excellent work! You have a new subscriber!

    Oh it’s nice to see someone who knows what they are doing, I just came from the Man at Arms video when they made Electras Sai and even though I knew nothing of the techniques of using them as a weapon I could just tell they were holding them wrong and using them badly.
    So even though I’m never likely to use Sai, it’s just good to see how they should be used.
