This book covers kama techniques of Ryukyu Kobudo, and includes: the history of the kama, attacking techniques (kogeki), blocking techniques (bogyo), training exercises (tozan no kama), kumite (kama vs. bo, 1-9), and techniques that include sai, tonfa, bo and nunchaku. While focusing on kama, other Okinawan weapons are introduced as well. Kama is considered by most kobudo exponents to be the most effective Okinawan weapon, and this book features several different applications — including test-cutting on bamboo!
