Among the most
rare Okinawan studies I have found is that of the Surujin. A flexible weapon of
a rope and stone in its original version. Versions with metal and chain in
later incarnations.
Of course in
those systems which teach this, it would not be rare, but to other
disciplines..
From
‘Kama, Tekko, Tinbe and Surujin – Ancient Martial Arts of Ryukyu’ by Inoue
Motokatsu. “Surujin
is the best weapon for hiding the opponents eyes but it can't be used without
the right how to use and enough training.”
Being
that is is a flexible weapon, it is akin to arts from China, being the Steel
Whip or the weighted rope dart weapons.
From the Matayoshi School
There
is a real chance of self injury when training if due diligence is not used.
