Martial Arts Kama

Similar to a farming sickle, the martial arts kama is a tradition weapon widely used in Okinawan Karate, Taekwondo, and Silat. Kamas are typically used in pairs and are sold either sharpened or unsharpened. Because the Okinawan working class was so familiar with using the kama as a farming implement, when the ruling class confiscated their weapons, it was an easy transition to use the kama as a weapon. The use of Kamas in traditional martial arts tournaments is very popular because their unique shape and size can be easily adapted to any kata or form movement. With twirling and arching motions, martial artists can yield these weapons skillfully, making the kama a very fluid and beautiful weapon to observe.
