Simply selling martial arts equipment or you have your own school web page is not enough to meet our requirement to be listed here. If you feel your web site and your contribution to the arts and ways meet our requirement, Please feel free to send us your web address, if it is more then just a school or regular supply house , there is a good chance we will add it to our site.

    The Weapons Connection is a traditional Kobudo association operated by Shihan Peter Carbone. He specializes in hand making custom , traditional Okinawan weapons. The manufacturing secret of the " Energy Sai of Agena" was passed on to him by the last of the Miyahira family, known for their quality sai throughout Okinawa.

The Energy Sai is manufactured in the same fashion as the sword smiths of old . Whereas the sword or in this case the sai is charged with energy (Ki) during the manufacturing process. This allows the user to more easily send his energy (Ki) through the sai and into the target.

If you are unfamiliar with " Ki energy" then we recommend the web site below. The Ki Development Assn. has a book that explains and easily teaches one how to do Ki.
