"The Energy Sai of Agena"
(Agena area of Gushikawa City, Okinawa)


The Energy Sai of Agena is designed to collect your energy, compress it and cause it to explode out of the end. Only the Agena Sai has this dynamic quality.


In Okinawa Martial Arts History, the finest handmade Sai came from the Miyahira Family. They passed the secret technique of making the Sai to their son who continued the craft. The superb balance and shape made the Sai a perfect weapon for combat. They were the preferred choice of the Masters.


With the occupation of the Americans, after World War II, Mr. Miyahira made Sai for American GI's who were studying Karate. Those who are fortunate to have a Miyahira Sai, have a work of art that can be passed down as an heirloom. American GI's could not approach Mr. Miyahira unless under the recommendation of an Okinawan Master. Even though there were Americans who watched him make Sai, Mr. Miyahira made sure the family secret technique was safely guarded.


Mr. Miyahira learned Sai making from his father, who learned it from his father before him, and so on. For centuries they made the finest hand crafted Sai. There is no accurate account of the Miyahira Family history. It was destroyed during World War II. In recent years, Mr. Miyahira retired from making Sai without a successor. Everyone thought the perfectly balanced Miyahira Sai would be lost to history. Fortunately, there is someone who is taking over the Miyahira Sai craft. He is commissioned to make the Sai for all serious Martial Artists. The secret technique in making the Energy Sai of Agena, cannot be duplicated by casting. The perfectly balanced Agena Sai is hand-crafted according to very strict specifications. It is a true Okinawa traditional design, round, not octagonal as so many others. No other Sai compares to the Agena Sai. It is the finest quality and has been proven throughout history.


The Masters of Okinawa revere it to be,
"The finest we have seen in decades."
It was the preferred choice of the old time Masters.


You invest years of training to perfect your Martial Art.
You deserve the best and now you can have it!



"How to measure for a perfect fit of your Sai"

Measure from the tip of the extended index finger to the end of the bent elbow. Then add 1/2 inch. This is the perfect Sai length!


"The Okinawa Sectional Bo"


The Okinawa Sectional Bo is the finest sectional staff made today. The Bo is made of quality Oriental Red Oak straight or tapered. Each stainless steel center section is individually handcrafted. Unlike other sectional staffs that loosen during performance, our high quality Tapered Okinawa Sectional Bo is designed to maintain its rigid integrity. One advantage, it is 6 feet in length and separates into two approximate 3 foot sections. It is the ideal transportable staff that can be easily stored in your car.


Weapons Connection is dedicated to making the finest handcrafted Martial Art weapons. All of our products are handcrafted individually and not mass produced.



"Hamahiga Tuifa (Tonfa)"


The Hamahiga Tuifa is for the serious practicioner.

The old style design is hand crafted to traditional Kobudo specifications.
It is designed for combat.

It is not round and light in weight for competition purposes.
The Hamahiga Tuifa is a serious Kobudo weapon. It is made of Bubinga, a very popular wood in Okinawa, or Cocobolo/Bubinga or Rosewood/Bubinga Laminates. Handcrafted and perfectly balanced.

The handles are double dowelled, glued and steel pinned.

The Hamahiga Tuifa is slightly heavier than Oak and very strong.



"How to measure for a perfect fit of your Tonfa"

Measure from the tip of the extended index finger to the end of the bent elbow. Then subtract 1/2 inch. This is the perfect Tonfa length!


"Original Tonfa"

This is a picture of the original use of the Tuifa. It was used in a household "Mill Stone", for making bean or rice flower. Later in history turned into a weapon.

Even though there is a popular Tuifa Kata named after the island, there are no weapons on Hamahiga. No warriors came from Hamahiga Island. The small island's resources industry is predominately fishing.

The island has 2 small villages, Hama at one end and Higa at the other end. The island is named after the 2 villages, Hamahiga Jima.

"Original Nunchuku"

The original Nunchuku was used as part of a horses bridle. It fit around the horses head on each side of the face. Later in history it turned into the shape we have today.
