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!!

"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
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
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 dude has it out for Matias 😂
"Grapple second, hit first" Took me 2years to really understand such a simple principle.
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 🔥🔥🔥
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
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.
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.
Can't fight nature, Jack
AND IT WILL COME
YOU CANT KILL A GOOD MEME JACK
I like how he explains. Not arrogant or flashy. Gives background info, answers the questions he knows they are thinking.
Monsoon: Kill or be Kill
Raiden: Don’t be a shame it’s only Nature running it’s course
That’s Rich coming for the likes of you
*monsoon helmet on battle mode*
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.
"You just fought fifty people..." A normal day in my life😂😂😂😂
AND IT WILL COME LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN
POURING DOWN ON ME
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
"He's just kind of relaxing, watching Game of Thrones" XDDD.
Bone against Steel, Bone is going to loose every time!⚰️
Pound for pound, bone is stronger than steel.
Challenge accepted....AAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
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.
Legend has it that Mateus is still in agony to this day.
Ha. Mathias is still training and teaching, despite the pain. Lol
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
poor matias
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
"Just cut him before he gets me, I think that all the time"
I'm not alone!
I love this training sequence.
magnetic force jack
Your Memes end here
Come, let me show you natures law
12:23 relaxing watching game of thrones xD
Wonderful job explaining and showing some of the power of the Sai!
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.
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.
monsoon be like:
I like the idea of the Sai we in the western martial arts have similar weapons
I thought that it was going to be katana versus ceiling fan!
I hate getting my sword tangled up in my horns...
Guard Dog you are killing me. very funny
The way, he said, yes, sir, when he was pressing it against him😂😂
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
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.
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.
you know as much as ninjutsu and I have not gotten along ,I must say this was very good instruction.
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.
Rip Mathias
13:39. What are you doing?
"I'm just crushing his body here."
Thanks for this video, it's really helpful with my stories ❤️
Who's here after watch Chozen fight Terry Silver?
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 🗡.
And it will come like a flood of pain
Only came to the comments to what was said about the fan. Was not disappointed.
Poor man Matias lol
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?
Cool now i can defeat raiden!
That crunch effect at 13:10.
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
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 😂
Legend says Matias is still resting.
In anticipation, I think I watched the fan the entire video.
i don't want you to brake those... throws it >.< lol ahh my saya!!!
6:46 Doomguy pain sound.
+DBSaiyanTim777 hahahah you are totally right.
The student with the green belt looks like matt pasquinilli
:its an arresting weapon it's not meant to kill a person
*milena roasting a chicken using sai*
Where can I join this class?
What about double sai?
Careful of that ceiling fan my dude
WASH AWAY THE ANGER
That fan is the true hero
This is good Budo!
The sai isn’t a dagger. I can’t believe Ninja Turtles lied to me
I like this weapon. It's so versatile and useful.
Damn that guy in the glasses is in so much pain rn
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.
I just made one from Rebar rods thanks for the lessons.
Fuck man, i wish we were still in the sword days
I do self defense as well and my favorite is sai and more like a8 foot staff or pipe. I found out that you could carry this in Suffolk County in the open which is awesome because my 2nd weapon of choice would benefit choice would be honestly the stainless steel whip because a sword can't cut that either because it's stainless steel as well and you could block with that too but but that's a little bit more you know like coming in with the bat you gotta go on to meet the hand just like the stick you gotta go on you need the stick or you gotta hook the stick down or you block when you go to the knees
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
this guy is sadistic in the funniest way possible. He loves making them tap.
will that work with any sais
9:47 Grabbing here is kind of unnecessary in my opinion because the guy with the katana has already used all of his power to cut (you can see him leaning forward after he makes the strike). He can’t do anything at this point, so you really don’t need to grab his sleeve in order to have full control of the strike. If he had enough energy left, he could just pull the sai guy’s hand with his arms and then throw the sai guy off balance and strike again. If you do plan on grabbing your opponent’s sleeve while they’re off balance to strike, you’ll have to be quick with it because you don’t know if your opponent is quick with recovery. So in short, Just striking only is way faster than grabbing and then striking.
fantastic instruction and material
Why am I still here?Just to suffer!!!
I like the shorter variation because it's easier to move faster
Very Nice!
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?
Sai is much more effective than he displays
Chozen Toguchi vs Terry Silver
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.
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.
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.
Does anyone know what tabi boots they're wearing? I got a really shitty pair of tabi boots from kungfuforless.com and really need a better pair.
Very Courteous and Professional. : )
Where is your dojo located if I may ask? : )
Paul Gorman read the description
Did Matias sign up to get his shit rocked? God damn
Go easy on Matthias please also love the sais want to learn more about it
LOL Mathias is a Nidan and quite capable practitioner. Noted, though. ; )
Sensi sounds a bit like Jack Black. XD
why Raph is the leader, not Leo
