Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I had to Google it, so apparently not. Looks like something I'm more liable to hurt myself with than the other guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Looks like a flail without a handle. Nice and compact. I've played with a flail mace a little, but not this weighted chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Can't be too dangerous! Find Deals on Manriki-gusari in Toys & Games on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 I made one when I was in Okinawa. An old man had a class at the base library every Tuesday night and I joined up to learn how to use Ninja weapons. He made us make the one of our choice and a weighted chain was easiest. I practiced under his watchful eye and great supervision, but once I left the Army I never worked with it again. I just ordered one 32" long and figured I'd try to get some of the skills back and fit in some exercise at the same time. FWIT, you start out practicing with a soft knotted rope until you get to where you won't hurt or kill yourself with it. Had one SA in Okinawa who got a medical discharge when he used his metal one and busted his whole face in. I won't do that. It's not that I'm all that much smarter, it's just that I don't like pain because pain hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Got it today. #2 1/2", just right. I have to be careful because this one is heavier than the one I made. I already have a couple of bruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I had a set of oak Nunchuks years ago when I was 14 years old.. I hit myself in the Cajones once...Once! I actually knocked myself outa few days later. Oak Nunchuks burn really well... I wouldn't even fool with those things forty Rod. I would probably end up in a cast....again...
