Kama

The Kama are a martial arts weapon for self defense and martial arts training

whether for competitions or attack prevention.


The Kama are Japanese and Chinese weapons that resemble the

traditional farming sickle.

 

The sickle, implemented as a redesigned weapon form, was called a

natagama and a large version is seen with the Grim Reeper.

 

The kama is used to parry and cut an enemy from a distance before

the final Kama strike was administered.

 

The forms today used in the martial arts classrooms have little or nothing

to do with the original weapon and its historical techniques in battle.

 

It is used with extreme skill to trap and parry even a sword

yielding opponent.

 

It is a lethal looking weapon that has no rival in instilling fear in an opponent

and is made famous due to its apearance in many Ninja films.
