  1. Okinawan kusarigama

    Okinawan kusarigama is a rare chain and Kama weapon sickle weapon found in the Okinawan kobud weapons set. A noted modern practitioner of the weapon was Seike Toma, a student of Ch toku Kyan and a teacher of Seikichi Odo . Differing from kusarigama of Japanese Archipelago in anatomy and techniques, its use and design also varies depending on stylistic preferences or individual choices. The most common design, also known colloquially as flying kamas , is where the chain usually replaced with a rope is attached to the bottom of the handle in the form of a loop. Another variation is where two kama are joint with a rope attached to the bottom of each. There also exists another, reminiscent of Japanese kusarigama but with a sickle smaller in size.
