I bought one of these YEARS ago at a flea market..I've used it to wrap around and pull down low hanging broken branches to help clean up my yard and protect myself from wild stray dogs that wander around the woods where I live. I don't want to hurt any animal but I know just how dangerous they can be..something that gives me some range for protection while I go to get my mail or check my property for things that need fixing is a welcome feeling of safety when you live smack dap next to the forest.
Thank you so much this is my favorite weapon the book chains and spikes really changed the way i see martial arts am all so a big fan of the heme fundo
Very interesting, very informative. Haven't seen much of these since I was a kid, and now that I'm in the market for one, they are almost impossible to find.
they might be illegal but ill be honnest my heavy bike chain looks exactly like this . same length and weight on both sides . pluss you can allways say you are carrying it for your bike
thanks for the video really useful👍 i train with a rope kusarigama(weight-chain and sickle) the sickle is of wood and yeah its a hell... really diffucult to control
same for me. I had a pair of training kama and screwed some eyelets in the bottom of them so I could add rope..made a training weight out of some 550 paracord and a pair of old balled up socks wrapped in duck tape. It's a really handful to keep under any kind of control..then again flexible weapons are some of the MOST difficult martial arts weapons to control.
Excellent video, and well presented. The piece shown at 6:20 has some interesting traits, but overall is terrible to work with. The weights are very long, and it causes them to flip strangely in practice. This leads to loss of control, and fairly regularl instances of it flipping back on the wielder. One of our Sandan purchased it for their kit, and we played around with it a bit. Our Shihan had particularly strong words to say about how 'poor' the build was.
@@thedojomartialarts I've actually had my eye on a Jutte from that site..if I had the money I'd get the training one and the delux one, I love hand forged tools and the like.
@@thedojomartialartsthanks for your kind answer. Coming from a boxing background i always have a hard time picturing someone fast enough to catch a punch (checking a punch is already difficult). Hope you can post some sparring footage. Keep up the good work ! cheers
Like nunchucku, seems like they would be far more dangerous to the welder than the opponent. Lol. Although I do own a chain whip, I'll stick with my daisho, thank you very much.... Cool video though!
The mijin is a version of the kusarifundo with three chains connected by a central ring. Considered a more difficult and powerful version( mijin meaning destroyer) ,depending on the use one could strike three times in one.
Just a guess: 30 inches? I've never used this weapon and never will. I use other weapons. Someone asked me to watch this video because I'm a nunchaku practitioner (will open a channel on it soon enough). They didn't know that the two weapons were *so* different.

3/4 chain the best size? I feel 1” wouldn’t be fluid enough.

Can you give some links to some of the hand forged ones

a felony to "keep and bear arms." For a chain........which is only good in the hands of someone who trains......
hi ninjas ! have you tried to land some of these punch locks in a real light sparring within a punch combo full speed ? thanks
Yes, of course. Thousands of times. That is why we practice. We slow it down on purpose, so people can learn.
@@thedojomartialartsthanks for your kind answer. Coming from a boxing background i always have a hard time picturing someone fast enough to catch a punch (checking a punch is already difficult). Hope you can post some sparring footage. Keep up the good work ! cheers
people don’t catch punches, they joint lock after someone presented their shoulder and thus you take their center
I have a few, wicked be safe

Can't carry a daisho, can carry this in pocket ✌️
Could you do a video of how to use the three steel bola or double steel bola on someone's legs?
Sorry, we don't know bola, just kusari fundo (manrikigusari).

What are the average length of the chains?

These are illegal in Canada.. surprised to see a video on them
Not everyone lives in Canada
Skallagrim lives up in Canada and he's done some vids in the past on some of the rather..strange bans they have.
@@jacobmesser8284 True.
Close your eyes and listen to Jack black teach you 🤣🤣
is it ever possible to fight like girl in kill bill?
Mejor no use el kusari use solo los brazos y puño.
So themes contra espada?🔪
