BOOKS | KARATE | SHOP BY SPORT | WeaponsSai: Karate Weapon of Self Defense
Soft Cover. Sai: Karate Weapon of Self Defense. By Fumio Demura.
Considered one of the world’s leading martial artists Fumio Demura studied kendo and judo in his youth before going on to practice karate. After becoming an All Japan Free Fighting Champion Deumra sensei concentrated his martial arts practice on karate and the art of Okinawan kobudo. Aforemost authority in kobudo Demura sensei is a twice inducted member of the prestigious Black Belt Hall of Fame (1969 Instructor of the Year; 1975 Man of the Year) and travels the world to teach his arts.
The sai is a three pronged metal instrument (16 to 18 inches long) that is used by martial artists of many styles. When manipulated skillfully it can be used to defend against swords or knives. In fact it is often pitted against the bo and other weapons in demonstrations. Training with the sai adds to the martial artist’s overall skill coordination footwrok speed balance and power.
In Sai: Karate Weapon of Self Defense Demura presents the basics of sai anatomy history and technique. This critically acclaimed vintage text demonstrates a variety of warm up gripping handling flipping striking blocking and sparring techniques – as well as footwork stances and combinations – through detailed photographic sequences and illustrations. Demura’s clear and concise explanations foster an understanding of the weapon as an extension of the body making this a perfect book for the new martial artist or the veteran seeking to expand his/her repertoire.
