I was waiting for him to take out the fan.
+Bloodaxetheirritable lol. you crazy.
haha
+Bloodaxetheirritable Or one of the guys off to his right
come on, he is a sensei, there is no way he would do it. for a person to become a sensei it takes really long time and learning. do you really think he would take out the fan or some guy head?
lol.. Yup.
The Sai is often overlooked within the martial arts. The general public is familiar with the Katana since it's featured prominently in film and at most exhibitions profiling Japanese history and culture.
When demonstrated by a master though, the Sai is a phenomenal weapon.
Sai isn't so much of a long-range weapon and it's really hard to block and strike against something as long-range as a bo or katana.
and if it is showen by media, it is most often portrayed wrongly . . .
@@tauhid9983 no, sai are the most attacking weapon
question: how effective is to use a katana in tandem with a sai? I mean using the sai as if it is a wakizashi...
@@bruce_wayne86No There For Planting Seeds. FARM TOOL
The master: you don't wanna break the sheath now.
also him: _Proceeds to chuck the sheath_
Sheath is stronger than floor
So the sai’s primary purpose was as a truncheon with an optional thrusting point, and a widely upswept hook guard to use for joint manipulation and/or weapon catching. Seems pretty damn agonistically versatile for a farmer’s sowing tool.
Agonoistically
half-japanese kid with a mother who loves kendo here, but a lot of "weaponry" from okinawa is stuff that could either be hidden very easily, or passed off as something else because the peasantry weren't allowed weaponry, but needed some way of defending themselves. This is why you see some pretty crazy shit coming from fairly common items in okinawan martial arts. I know its been a couple of years but i thought you might enjoy the historical context!!
@@simonharford4834
"No sir, that isn't a weapon, the curved blade is just used for my garden. It's a gardening scythe. Don't be silly, this would never kill a man"
I know this is from years ago but the Sai was never a “gardening tool”. It’s from China (arguably India) and used in other places throughout Asia and Southeast Asia as a police baton/restraining weapon. It was never for farming or “poking holes in the ground fur planting rice” those are fairy tales
@@tetragaming6332 the gardening myth was debunked like a decade ago bud
He really hates matias
You think Matias is gonna live after this?
hope Matias is doing alright these days
“...this is better!!!”
poor guy
Am I the only person cringing everytime he brought the sword up? ... that fan is freakin me out.
Idk... but the way he put the odachi down like that really hurts my spirit....
Same!
No I was thinking seperoth....
No you're not alone.
He had me like 🥶 everytime
Humans have trouble with perspective
This is why i like the sai so much, it's almost a perfect self defense tool that also has lethal defensive ability, you can really control how much if any damage you do to an attacker.
Same man. Three Sai (one in a belt) leaves you a ton of moves. Also helps that I am a counterpuncher, so the defense it offers is awesome.
Arctic Gator and the little spaces between the sidekick blades (just naming it something else) is good for trapping weapons.you twist your opponents weapon when it’s trap and go for a blow
Yeah Im Sure The Farmers Using Is To Plant Seeds Just Loved There Master Of Weapons.The Farm Tool
This dude has it out for Matias 😂
That last move with crushing the body shows exactly what I like about this video: stay to a simple technique that works. Great video all around.
"Grapple second, hit first" Took me 2years to really understand such a simple principle.
Thanks for the interesting video. The Sai is actually a good ancient law enforcement weapon and its design is still used by modern policemen. The Rapid Rotation Baton by RRB Systems is one such example of an ancient weapon put to modern use.
Are you ok sir...while twisting his wrist lol.
As long as nothing is broken, he's mostly fine.
Pain is temporary and part of learning, he didn't really hurt him.
Leonardo vs Raphael
+Israel Felder Ralph winssss
😂😂😂
Syakirin57 it's Raph not Ralph
Leonardo is a better ninja turtle then Raphael in my opinion.
Or Mileena VS Kenshi
I like how he explains. Not arrogant or flashy. Gives background info, answers the questions he knows they are thinking.
"You just fought fifty people..." A normal day in my life😂😂😂😂
the sword is longer, there is no way you can react to a long swrod, its moving twice the velosity of a weapon half the length.. try this against a swordsman.. youlll be cut in half.
This is true. Same also goes for sword vs spear scholargladitoria had some cool vids on it. But they did show you have a chance. Hell un armed militia train to go against gun point. Chances are real low survivability but its still worth (your life) to strive for it.
that's why you need 2 sai
YOU CANT KILL A GOOD MEME JACK
"He's just kind of relaxing, watching Game of Thrones" XDDD.
Really enjoyed the lesson! Jealous I can't be in the dojo for them. Loved hearing all about the weapons and historical context. Thank you! 🙏
You are most welcome, Brittany. Lots more videos in our back catalog.
Trading in my pocket knives for Sais
That has got to be one of the nicer (Beautiful) dojos I have seen... Very very nice... It looks like your teach serious budo and not a romper room!
the layout kinda reminds me of my old tae-kwon-do dojo we tried to keep it about that clean too tho that was harder
+Rave Fox 776 i was thinking it looks almost exactly like my old dojo where ilearned isshinryu.
AND IT WILL COME
LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN!
COMING DOWN OF ME!
AND IT WILL NOT LET UP UNTIL THE END IS HERE

Love ur Sai teachings I use to have practice karate and martial arts especially with Sai after my coma I'm thinking about visiting ur dojo to help my memory of relearning the way of Sai and all
Bone against Steel, Bone is going to loose every time!⚰️
Pound for pound, bone is stronger than steel.
Challenge accepted....AAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I like your do jo everyone seems very respectful and good mannered to each other.
I liked how you said lose the fancy stuff this is true.
Also liked how everyone was gentle not causing injury to each other a good do jo of reverence and respect to all that is there.
"Just cut him before he gets me, I think that all the time"
I'm not alone!
AND IT WILL COME LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN
POURING DOWN ON ME
Legend has it that Mateus is still in agony to this day.
Ha. Mathias is still training and teaching, despite the pain. Lol
sensei Todd seems to be leaving himself open to a side cut when he catches the guy by his arm. he is not in control of both arms leaving the other hand to piviot the sword to the side against the sensei's leg and midsection.
Where can I join this class?
The way, he said, yes, sir, when he was pressing it against him😂😂
poor matias
monsoon be like:
12:23 relaxing watching game of thrones xD
Wash away the anger
Here I stand beneath the warm and soothing rain
The droplets falling gently down on the terrain
Wash away the sorrow, all the stains of time
But there's no memory, it's only dry inside
In the mud and sinking deeper into a peaceful life
And it will come like a flood of pain pouring down on me
And it will not let up until the end is here
And it will come through the darkest day, in my final hour
And it will never rest until the clouds are clear
Until it finds my dreams have disappeared
My dreams disappear
God damn man wrote a whole poem for the comment section 🔥🔥🔥
magnetic force jack
Your Memes end here
Come, let me show you natures law
Also it's nice to see a big similarity between the techniques here and some of the Medieval dagger vs sword. Shows that warriors the world over had similar thinking and used similar tools in similar ways. To me if a wide range of cultures have basic techniques that are virtually the same and with similar weapons then it is those techniques that have been proven effective in the widest variety of time, situation and level of armor. Thus they are the techniques that any weapons practitioner, despite background, should know well and how to counter.

lol
I love this training sequence.
Wow! Woah, that was truly incredible sir, I cannot thank you enough for blessing us with this knowledge freely. I have never scene someone use the Sai likes this and I love it because it is soo outside the box of how i ever imagined using the Sai. I will definitely be studying and learning these techniques safely with a partner.
Wonderful job explaining and showing some of the power of the Sai!
13:39. What are you doing?
"I'm just crushing his body here."
As soon as he threw the sword thing I was yea definitely Jack black teaching kung fu lol
Chozen vs Terry.
Chozen: I'm not afraid to kill
Silver: I'm not afraid to die
What about double sai?
I like the idea of the Sai we in the western martial arts have similar weapons
you know as much as ninjutsu and I have not gotten along ,I must say this was very good instruction.
You have taught me new ways to practice with my sais. Which I will never use now because its too deadly. Especially if you had a gauche/parrying dagger or something. I never did get to take a weapon though because those classes were extra but my Sensei taught me the basic movements of the first sai kata, I can't remember what it was called, weapons had two belts, white and black.
Who's here after watch Chozen fight Terry Silver?
I brought one into kindergarten and someone snitched on me. I took cigarettes and put in his bag later and then told some other kids he had cigs. I'm pretty sure that was all in my first week of school.
I hate getting my sword tangled up in my horns...
Guard Dog you are killing me. very funny
I thought that it was going to be katana versus ceiling fan!
What swords do you use for practice they look really good and the blade I can tell is over built. Where can I get one?
why Raph is the leader, not Leo
Where did you buy this sai im looking to buy a pair but idk where cheap
if is cheap is crap, or make one your own, ask your local metal worker to replicate a pair
And it will come like a flood of pain
Poor man Matias lol
want to know what happens when he use wild and fast slashes with the sword instead of slow choreo
I don't believe you'd see a serious swordsman slashing like you describe. While combat speed is significantly faster, the cuts are still extremely controlled.
The sai is highlighted here for the purpose of instruction for practice, of which you would require a great deal to have even a reasonable chance in this situation. If you do get inside the sword like he shows, you have a reasonable chance to best your opponent.
6:46 Doomguy pain sound.
+DBSaiyanTim777 hahahah you are totally right.
My special needs son really likes martial arts 🥋 he finds them very interesting and entertaining! He especially likes sais he says they remind him of Renaissance parrying daggers 🗡.
Cool now i can defeat raiden!
i don't want you to brake those... throws it >.< lol ahh my saya!!!
In anticipation, I think I watched the fan the entire video.
The thing I'm learning now, watching videos like these, that I was mistaken from media and film, is that with sai you swat the enemy rather than excessive stabs.
I mean you could if you have the strength 😂
Rip Mathias
Nice! Please, I am from Brazil, train Karatedo and Kobudo, and need some Sai's of these. The Sai's founded here are very low quality. Can we trade some contact to buy some weapons? Thanks!
Vinícius Alencar Santos you can order them from AWMA. Asian World of Martial Arts. I bought the same pair in 1980.
Only came to the comments to what was said about the fan. Was not disappointed.
Careful of that ceiling fan my dude
question: how effective is to use a katana in tandem with a sai? You know using the sai as if it is a wakizashi.
We have some videos on Sai in the back logs. Although, we do not focus on that weapon much. That would definitely be a cool (dual wield) combination class, wouldn't it? We'll have to try that, sometime. I have never tried that before. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@thedojomartialarts thanks, i'm happy you liked my idea.
@@thedojomartialarts you Will tell me when video Is ready?
The student with the green belt looks like matt pasquinilli
The sai isn’t a dagger. I can’t believe Ninja Turtles lied to me
Funny thing is all them moves work! I have trained ninjutsu with these weapons and everything is effective, but I mostly was taught in a sai fight, when the opportunity shows strike with the handle on the throat like a unarmed combat throat strike
fantastic instruction and material
...is Matias your brother in law?
That crunch effect at 13:10.
Legend says Matias is still resting.
Thank you for posing this, it has really helped with my novel.
Good luck on your novel, Joseph! www.thedojoinc.com
How is your novel going? i too am writing a book about my thoughts and techniques i like to use i started last year.
Well, it is really just a bit of fun. I have finished it now and am just editing it but basically it's my own interpretation of the TMNT characters based on my experiences with martial arts and as a teenager. I will probably put it on my blog at some point but due to it's copyright infringing nature, it will most likely not get published unless someone out of the blue gives me permission to do so. So, is your book fiction or non-fiction?
My book is going to be a martial arts handbook based on my interpritiation of techniques and my own philosophys and my experiences through my martuial arts journey so far. Well thats what im hopeing to achieve anyways lol :D
Sounds much deeper and more insightful then what I was going for. If you get it done, let me know where I could get a copy. Good luck.
:its an arresting weapon it's not meant to kill a person
*milena roasting a chicken using sai*
The first half of the video shows the Sai being used as an off-hand weapon. So you should your main weapon in the other hand. The habit with the Sai as off-hand was to stick the Sai through the opponent's foot, and then strike/cut him with the main weapon while he could not leave or flee. Sometimes you could have 2 Sai, but then you directly blocked/paraded and then counter with the other Sai piercing deadly the foe before skipping to the next one.
While used as a peacekeeper tool, it was mainly used reversed, handled by the Monouchi part, using the Yokutsume (formerly Yoku and Tsume parts, aka "wings" of the Sai) for making your opponent fall down, and then stick him to the ground thanks to Ne-waza (ground lock), awaiting police forces (or colleagues 😉).
Thanks for this video, it's really helpful with my stories ❤️
Why am I still here?Just to suffer!!!
Very Courteous and Professional. : )
Where is your dojo located if I may ask? : )
Paul Gorman read the description
Damn that guy in the glasses is in so much pain rn
Why not use two? I'm a big fan of sai, but I've always practiced with two and done kata like Chatan Yara No Sai, and my favorite, Isshan Ryu Kyan No Sai. Is it just for demonstration purposes, or do you like having a free hand?
Hope for two sai, but be prepared and train for only one, or none. ; )
Traditionally, one would carry two, or even three.
This next one will be painful, do I have any volunteers?
…
Matthias?
Lol
Stepping sideways is not faster than swinging sword. It is possible with predictive timing but it would be so unreliable in real situation that learning such technique would literally put you in danger. Use your weapon to deflect the attack as you are stepping aside.
Otherwise great insight on how and why sai was used.
Stay more open-minded. We train in all ways, movements, principles and angles imaginable - to have more options to fall back on when attacks cannot be predicted. When you train actively everyday, all option and concerns are explored.
will that work with any sais
Fuck man, i wish we were still in the sword days
I like this weapon. It's so versatile and useful.
this guy is sadistic in the funniest way possible. He loves making them tap.
Did Matias sign up to get his shit rocked? God damn
Bujinkam, right?
This is good Budo!
The only problem with the sai he is using to do the locks is that they are the crap kind you get from any martial arts website. You wouldn't be able to do some of the locks with a traditional sai like shuriedo. And that is because the yoku are smaller and it would only work on someone with small arms.
I believe they were only doing it slowly because they do not want to hurt each other.
The yoku is designed to curve outward to allow entry inwards. In a real fight, if you jam it with maximum force, almost any body part will compress to fit within the prongs. The pain is of course, excruciating (ever had your arm caught between metal bars?).
Yes, octagonal sai are better for locks. And the black ones are a little harder to follow than the chrome ones.
I was taught a grip with the thumb resting alongside a prong and pressing against the shaft, which gives more blocking power. But oh, the grips and locks in this video are beautiful!
I don't know if I fully agree. Back then people used to have smaller constitutions due to their nutrition and other health factors, so there's a high chance that the standard arm size was smaller.
WASH AWAY THE ANGER
This is Togakureryu?
Sai is much more effective than he displays
Nice teacher
Sensi sounds a bit like Jack Black. XD
