Black Studded Kama

Price: $42.95

DESCRIPTION

The Black Studded Kama is a great choice for martial artists who want a durable, eye-catching training weapon with a traditional feel. Designed for practice, kata, demonstrations, and martial arts training, this pair of unsharpened kama gives you the balance and handling characteristics needed to build confidence with kama techniques without using a sharpened blade. Whether you are practicing Okinawan martial arts, weapon forms, or adding kama training to your routine, this set offers a solid combination of style, function, and durability.

Each Black Studded Kama features a curved stainless steel blade section with a completely unsharpened edge, making it suitable for controlled training environments. The blade is shaped like a traditional kama and provides the weight and movement needed for practicing spins, transitions, blocks, and strikes. While the edge is not sharpened, the metal construction still gives the kama a realistic feel that helps students become familiar with proper weapon control and technique.

The handles are made from strong red oak wood and finished with a black coating that helps protect the surface while giving the kama its sleek appearance. At approximately 8.5 inches long, the handles are sized for comfortable control during fast movements and flowing techniques. The rounded shape sits naturally in your hand, allowing you to practice grips, rotations, and weapon changes with less strain during extended training sessions.

Adding to the unique look of these training kama are the decorative metal studs along the handles. These studs provide extra texture and help create hand placement awareness while giving the weapon a bold, custom appearance. The all-black design combined with the metallic accents makes this set stand out from traditional plain wood kama while still maintaining a professional martial arts look.

The blade section measures approximately 6.75 inches, bringing the total length of each kama to around 12.5 inches. The curved blade design includes vent holes that help reduce weight and improve airflow as you move the weapon through techniques. At approximately 5.6 ounces per kama and 10.9 ounces total for the pair, these weapons are lightweight enough for quick movements while still providing enough presence for realistic training.

The Black Studded Kama also includes lanyard holes with wrist straps, giving you additional security during practice. These straps can help prevent accidental drops while performing spins or transitioning between movements. Like any martial arts weapon, proper training and control are important, and this set is best used with awareness and care during every session.

These wooden handle kama are ideal for beginners learning basic movements as well as experienced martial artists refining their techniques. They work well for karate, kobudo, Okinawan weapon training, martial arts demonstrations, and collectors who appreciate unique training gear. The durable construction and balanced design make them a reliable addition to any martial artist's equipment collection.

If you are looking for a pair of training kama that combines traditional design with a modern black finish, the Black Studded Kama delivers a great balance of performance and appearance. With a sturdy red oak handle, unsharpened steel blade, decorative studs, and comfortable handling, this kama set is ready for regular practice and martial arts training.
