The Sai should measure from your fingertip to your elbow or slightly further. This Okinawan weapon was first used as a farm tool and later to fight against Samurais and their deadly swords. A pair of short swords called Sai was used defensively against the Bo and Samurai sword. As a weapon, it was used in unison with various karate stances and techniques, and in defense against sword attacks.

Training with a Sai should be only done with a qualified instructor as they are a dangerous weapon and caution is advised.
