- Ryan Hayashi, JKA (Japan Karate Association) Shotokan Karate Instructor, explains the traditional Okinawan Karate weapon "Sai". This was filmed on Sensei Hayashi's Samsung at Hayashi Dojo in Mannheim, Germany. These video lessons are a learning tool for his students.
I just bought some and I bought 2 for my nephew. Lucky I accidentally bought 6. I didn't know that you need 3. The more you learn you realise you don't know much. I am always learning. It will teach him strength and coordination. Also discipline and control. I told him to just teach one hand and then the other. It will be good. Videos like this help as he can watch them anywhere he can get internet connection.
My husband bought me these yesterday and I'm learning fast. Love the video
Thank you for uploading this lesson that was probably never meant for youtube when originally filmed. Very informal look at one of the most versatile melee weapons possible.
most beautiful dojo i`ve ever seen in my life before
I'm currently learning how to wield Sai and I learned quite a bit from this! ありがとうございます！
Nice to see the practical use of the Sai, not the flashy kata moves!
Awesome video, a lot of respect is shown towards the tradition and the pupils (cleaning the room, bowing when giving the bō)
Impressed with the floor clean & dissemination of information, slick.
Great video. I've been training with the sai for nearly 40 years. Much of what you said was what was taught to me years back. And, I got a bit more info from you as well---and this was a basic tutorial! Thanks for this---
Absolutely the best and most uses I've ever seen of the sai thank you
Very nice refresher since it has been almost 20 years.
I have just bought myself a pair of these and was very clueless. This was very informative, thanks.
"20 years later I still think I am right!" LOL Me too! Excellent! Keep up the good work! OSSS!
James Black Yes! 🤯👹🤖🌸⛄️🚫
well done learning the Sai now. great presentation thanks
No matter good you become there will always be an Asian that takes it to the next level.
Excellent lesson Sensei Thank you
I would love to come visit your dojo. Your videos have great detail and very informative. Though I practice another style, I still go to your videos for reference and lineage knowledge.
Landoku You are welcome to come visit our Dojo if you are ever in Mannheim, Germany. Oss!
Not bad. Some of those techniques are nonsense but some of them are spot on, correct, and effective. Better than I see most people do. Good job.
always humbling to see small training spaces. I've spent many years training in a tiny closet in New York. Great video!
Wow....Sais are way more deadly than i ever thought!
Common now...why you think the most Badass 🐢 used them 😂😂😂
Through a lot of research, now i found a real sai training video for sai
So, post the link
Fantastic Video! Thank you for your wonderful information! Appreciated very much ❤️
All this and he's a fantastic magician, too!
great weapons segment!
There's nothing better in life than to see rich people wash floors
He's very knowledgeable.
Thank you for your explanations!
when you show a block w a sai plz have the sai flat to your forearm. if its not the effect is different and the sai hits your arm very hard when you try to block ending up injuring the blocker in a real life situation.
Still better then having your arm cut off imo lol
Excellent! Thanks!!
Thanks so much for the lesson
My Kata of the month is Tekki Nidan. Last month Tekki Shodan. And I use Sai in the Kata. Very interesting Kata from there.
I have a pair just like those! Every once in a while, you hear about a machete attacker in America. A sai will work against those. That's why I'm learning.
Ugh, I STAN!
Sir I am going to tokyo in the next few months to train at JKA head Dojo. I have no friends there and i dont know anyone. what is a good way to get around and meet people?
Nice video!!!
Very interesting video. Its curious how you can find people practicing with sharpened kama (sickles) in Kobudo but never anyone practicing with sharpened sai. Both were traditionally sharp, but unlike the kama, the modern sai is never sharpened for some strange reason. Luckily, they are made of metal so you can always sharpen them if you wish.
神州 Shenzhou It's possible that the modern sai we use today may be inspired by on the jitte that Japanese magistrates used (Not many people outside of China know that the Chinese used them as well as the Okinawans). The jitte were more of an arresting weapon than a killing one, and given the focus on peacetime since the Meiji Restoration, it's possible the Japanese opted to keep it blunt. That said, I've seen Okinawan practitioners using sai with a sharp tip.
+Rohan Davey Nice to meet people who also know that sai are used outside of Okinawa Kobudo. It is also used in China, Malaysia and other parts of South East Asia. It should also be noted that Okinawa (Ryuku Kingdom) also traded with Ming dynasty China, which could possibly be how Okinawans came to learn of the weapon, before they became part of Japan. Keeping the sai blunt during Meiji restoration could be a valid reason, but it would also imply that the kama should be blunted for safety reasons.
i'm no expert on japanese and okinawan history, but from my martialexperience, i think we should make the difference between sharp, pointy, and round tips. a round tip would simply make a blunt weapon, but pointy and sharp are both piercing weapon.
for both kind of tip, you can thrust with it and puncture. with a sharp tip, the puncture will be easier, but that's relevant only when you try to do a little poke. if you try to thrust the full length of you weapon in you opponent using all your strength backed by you whole body mass, you wont feel a big difference. both would be equally efficient if you thrust a rigid armor. there would be no difference ever if you use it to poke holes in the soil or if you use it to move a haystack. but you will clearly feel the difference when you move in a crowd and poke holes in everyone clothes, or when you fall on your ass and poke yourself with it.
in the end, it's a balance from sharp to just pointy to make a compromise between chances of accident and thrust efficiency. the only case where you could feel a big difference would be with padded armor, a sharp tip will easily start spreading the fibers and drastically lower the chances of having only blunt effect.
神州 Shenzhou traditionally they werent sharpened they were used to break bones which you do easilly by tapping people on the limbs quickly
They are not sharp because they were a weapon for policemen in Okinawa, when you are practicing with Sai you can notice that most of the offensive / defensive techniques are strikes with the sides of the longest part, the policemen were not supposed to kill with Sai, they just wanted to capture and punish.
why is the camera so close? How do the others see what are you doing with the sai? this must be filmed before the lesson
ассаламалейкум чтобы Аллах был доволен вами и вашей семьей. был баракат. я тоже карате занимаюсь.
My Sais are 19 inch, around 49cm long. is it still possible to learn more advance things with these than shorter ones?
Where did you buy those particular pair that you used in the demo?
OMG! You are the "asian" from Penn and Teller! I love you were ever you are :)
hello, how much should the average cost of training sai??? maybe you can suggest good sai shops in Europe ???
good video, implausible that it was an farming tool.
Awesome video tthx for sharing, i buy sai on second hand Market .i gonna train now !
Fantastic information! 100% how I was taught. However I would dispute the one rice planting tool theory. The Sai (I was taught) originated as a law enforcement truncheon only with added lethal options.
Yes. This weapon was developed specifically for Okinawan Police. Other Kobudo weapons were farming or other kind of tools, kama, kuwa, ieku and bo.
I still clean my kitchen floor like that. Duck walk.
Why does the audio keep going in and out?
И лучшими мастерами.
wow. what's up with the camera? makes me sea sick! :D
my thoughts exactly I was thinking it was filmed by a fish underwater
It's warp stabilization. Cameraman was moving a bit quickly and the stabilization ends up having to compensate which can cause the jello wiggles in the video which makes things look weird.
Where can i buy sai like this?
Why they must clean the floor at the beginning ?
bloodyfox This is tradition in Japanese Karate Dojo.
thx What it means ? Clear from energy ?
Yes.
Mainly to respect the dojo
SamCentral I have 1.Dan TKD. We respect also the doyo, but never
clean the floor. I think in Japan, the tradition of Bushido is everywhere.
Same the japan Sumos clean there fight circle before starts, its a relic.
One thing to remember is that a Sai is not supposed to be sharp. It’s supposed to be a police baton. To have it sharpened would be like saying as a police officer, “man I need this guy alive but I really need to sharpen my police baton to do it”
You can’t apprehend a dead man.
I'm afraid it's not a police weapon. The video is somewhat obscure on the origins of this weapon, but before the Japanese got hold of it, Sai came from China. They were known as Tit Jek or Tit Chek and were the two turning forks from either end of a roasting spit. The rice planting tool story is from Japanese historical records and I have not heard it before.
Actually you are wrong sir ..Some older Sai actually are sharp ..
NES King so your telling me that police officers sharped their batons in ancient China and Okinawa to kill the criminals that they were told to apprehend alive, by punishment of death for the officer, in order to kill the crook and bring his mangled corpse to the authorities? Is exactly what you just said word for word.
interesting in seeing Okinawa Kobujutsu is almost like an extension of Kihon karate moves
I'm more interested in the martial arts from Japan and I believe that.
I play karate shotoken why no found training wapeons
Inventam um cerimonial que é quase uma "seita religiosa". Sempre treinei com mestres Okinawanos. Tudo era muito simples. Hai
Ryan, Aren't you a magician? LOL!
Umm is it just me or does it seem like a tourist atraction now...japanese dude ask the master
hey master what does cleaning the floor like you having them do help in with the art and practice of the sai...?
The master says :it doesnt help you at all but hey whos the master here and whos gona tell them ...now back to practice after they cleaned the floor!!
This is tradition. It is called "Osoji". This is how we began every training when I was at the Nihon Karate Kyokai Honbu Dojo (Japan Karate Association World Headquarters) in Tokyo 1998-2000.
Who on gods green earth attacks a man with A reverse punch
Ouis Sandy me
Osouji was nice,but that is how small kids do at school,now on days students use a mope
сен сей я зенимаюсь аяма карате . сможешь подарить нижи. аригато. чтобы Аллах вам помогал и твоей семье. чтобы твои дети был крепкий иман . были хафизами къурана.
interesting
That’s actually pretty graphic and gruesome
Lol
J. D. A. Mostly what I know about sai is from Raphael from Ninja Turtles. I’ve never seen him do all this haha 😂
ассаламалейкум с праздником день джюма. Чтобы Аллах был доволен тобой и твоей семьей. сможешь дать ножи от тебя. я занимаюсь карате с детсва. напиши если сможешь. я скажу адрес.
Those sai are too long for him they shouldn't go past the elbow
Banyak pandir haja nah
Those are not real Sai they are what they would call the practitioner sai.. I have real ones. . add 2 lb of peace yes sword breakers
be careful , lol
Uuuuummm...your belt is twisted behind your back...
This is the correct traditional way to wear the obi (belt). All high ranking masters in Japan wear it this way. One single line across the back is a modern Western development. Ryan Hayashi
machette is worse
There's much more discipline in Japanese Karate than Chinese Kung Fu.
The camera man is really trying to be artistic
Before this video i thought the sai is a crap🤷♂️
Actually trying to learn how to use these, you say we can buy them. Would you mind giving a link? Or telling what places might, if I can buy them from a martial arts place then great, but if not a website be nice. Also nice video I always thought of them and only blocking and stabbing, but never thought of most of the ways you showed. Great video by the way
