Love this video. Explains each part of the Sai, holding, gripping and use. How the Sai is pronounced and written in Japanese. And by the way, your english is fine!

[@KohjiKatoh]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment! I'd be grateful if you keep following my channel. I'll continue to train my English!

[@josephcangelosijr.8492]

You spoke well. I enjoyed it.

Thanks 🙏 really good vidéo on Sai

[@KohjiKatoh]

Thank you so much for watching and your comment. Hope my video helps you learn.

[@shirishthitewatsupgroups6167]

You are very good Teacher

[@CanineCIA]

Great video! Very helpful. Could you do a beginners kata with the sai? Thank you!

[@afadingdream9675]

You have motivated me to buy a pair of sais to train with them. I bought them yesterday and I am waiting for them to arrive. The most educational part of the video for me was where you showed how to block properly with the sais so that your arm doesn't get hurt and picking the right length. At least from my perspective, I had no ideas sais were this versatile! Great information.

[@KohjiKatoh]

Thank you so much for your kind message. I'm very honored to hear that my video made you get a pair of sai. Hope you enjoy training with them and improve your skills. I'll upload videos again, so please keep following me!

[@afadingdream9675]

@@KohjiKatoh I have been training daily with your "how to train sais at home video" and it has been great. Thank you again. Day 3 and I am much comfortable with changing positions. Perhaps someday I will post a video so you can see it. Looking forward to more of your videos. 🙏🏻

[@norbertW64]

Great video, thank you very much, your english is good, most important is to hear the japanese names from a native speaker. 👍

Thank you! Good info!!

[@COD_SaiZero]

Thank you for your great video. I'll come up to you soon with questions if you don't mind. I bought myself now a pair of sai with the right length. Each one weight 740gramm. Metal ones but with an octa "saki", so a training variation. You motivate me to train with them. Thx a lot. I enjoy!

[@KohjiKatoh]

That sounds great. Train hard and have fun!! Thank you so much for watching!

The books I have only name some of the part I did not even know some of those parts had names amazing your English is good I can understand what you say clearly

[@KohjiKatoh]

Thank you as always, kid! I'm glad to hear that you understand what I say. I'll brush up martial arts and my English. Some time I'll show you the "Yoku & Tsume techniques ". They are very interesting so, you might like it:)

[@amolsable8294]

👍👍👍

[@StonedBodhiSattva]

saiを適切に使用すると、ナイフやマチェーテを持っている攻撃者をかわすことができます。または、攻撃者が銃を持っている場合、saiのユーザーは射手の腕をブロックし、おそらく何らかの武道を使用してそれらを押さえることができます。 。 それは私の考えです。

[@roninguts0]

I understood everything don't worry man :D

[@KohjiKatoh]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!! I'll try to brush up my English.

[@StonedBodhiSattva]

あなたのビデオをどうもありがとう、私は彼らに本当に感謝します。

[@Tjeurbe]

When you take karate and your Sensei gives you a pair of sais because you want to learn and then nobody teaches you so you have to watch videos online on how to learn XD (not that I know form personal experience or something XD)

[@johnvem949]

how often to people accidentally hurt themselves when practicing with real sai? I'm not talking about real fights. Just practicing and accidentally hurting yourself?

[@DonDon-ou7jt]

Sir if the saki of the sai is sharp, that weapon can be deadly? since in the movies and comics the saki is sharp. i guess the saki was made blunt so it would not be lethal

[@KohjiKatoh]

Yes, if it's sharp, It can be deadly. But you know what? Sai in Ryukyu, ancient Okinawa, had blunt saki because they were used by Ufuchiku (like police). Their purpose was not to kill somebody but to arrest.

[@DonDon-ou7jt]

I agee@@KohjiKatoh if the SAi is sharp, it would not be a peace keeping weapon, it will be a killing weapon. its like replacing live bullets with rubber bullets to avoid lethal confrontations. But if used by Ninja in ancient times, is it sharpened?

[@KohjiKatoh]

@@DonDon-ou7jt Ninja didn't use Sai. People misunderstood about Ninja because of films and comics.

[@DonDon-ou7jt]

@@KohjiKatoh do you mean its only in the comics and movies ninjas use kobudo weapons? in real life they dont use it? so does it mean peopl who makes comics and.movies just made that up, without knowledge of martial arts?

[@KohjiKatoh]

@@DonDon-ou7jt Ninja never used weapons like Sai, Nunchaku, Tonfa, and so on. The images of Ninja are misunderstood so much. People make films and comics with their images. If you study the history of Ninja, you know what I mean.

[@kingaryu2364]
