The Kama is a sickle that Okinawan farmers used to harvest their rice crops. Unlike other tools such as the bo and sai-which are normally made of wood or bamboo-the kama has a sharp cutting edge. In this video, Fumio Demura sensei teaches the fundamentals of proper kama use, including proper grips, strikes, stances, counters and defenses. (Approx. 58 min.)
