Sai
The sai (Japanese: 釵, lit. 'Hairpin'; Chinese: 鐵尺, lit. 'Iron Ruler') is a traditional Okinawan stabbing weapon used for stabbing and striking.
The Sai can be used defensively – swords can be caught between hand guards and the blade and twisted out of hands of the attacker. By pressing the blade against the forearm masters could defend themselves against slashes with swords. Sai is also very effective in offense.
Sai is a traditional training weapon featuring two curved prongs and a metal baton in the center. Sai can have a metal, plastic or rubber handle, with options for beginners and experts alike. Typically, these training weapons are sold as a pair for direct hand-to-hand combat. We have a selection of sai in an array of colors such as black, blue, chrome, red and silver. Choose from a variety of lengths, including 12.5, 16 and 20 inches. To find the appropriate length, measure as if you were holding the handle with the blade laying along your arm, pointing towards your elbow. The appropriate length will allow for the blade to extend one inch past your elbow. We also provide high-quality nylon cases to keep your sai protected and in good condition.
