One Minute Bunkai: Saijutsu #1 Gyakute Mochi Uchi Uke

One Minute Bunkai: Saijutsu #1 Gyakute Mochi Uchi Uke (Reverse Grip Inside block) When using weapons like the Sai don't think you have to limit your creativity because something is not suggested in Kata. Here I show how you can grab the Bo with the non-active hand. I don't like that term because it should be active, doing something for your benefit no? Using the Sai is not all hitting and poking, it is an awesome tool for catching, hooking and trapping an armed or unarmed opponent. In Okinawa the Sai was used by law enforcement officers as an effective defense and arresting weapon. Today we use the Sai inside in beautiful Dojos, thus it is hard to imagine something like using the ground or sand to trap a hand by sinking the Sai into the dirt. This is why we must study these weapons not just for competition because that does not show you what they can do. We must practice with a very realistic mindset and think of how they were used 300 years ago. Then we will learn how inventive and incredibly useful these ancient weapons truly are.
