Weapons : Sai

Sometimes it is mistakenly believed that sai is a variation of a farming tool, used to create furrows in the ground. However it is very unlikely that such a farming tool would be used by poor Heimins as Okinawa suffered from metal shortage. It is as well proven that in reality sai originates from China, where it existed in an elongated form and was used purely as a weapon.

Sai is a metal weapon. Its length is dependent upon the forearm of the user. It should be 3cm longer than user's forearm and it is generally used in pairs.
