Skallagrim | Can We Make this "Ninja" Weapon Work? - Kusarigama Test @Skallagrim | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Talking about a design in theory is all fine and good, but I was itching to mess around with a safe sparring version (or rather approximation) of this interesting Japanese weapon. If you want to see a proper demonstration, look elsewhere. :) This is just a clumsy exploration from an outsider perspective, based on curiosity rather than specialized skill.
The previous look at the Kusarigama and its historical background:
