A-Sai biography, A-Sai discography
For other meanings of the word 'sai', see Sai (disambiguation).Sai are constructed in a variety of forms.The yoku are traditionally symmetrical, however, the Manji design developed by Taira Shinken employs oppositely facing yoku.The sai is known to have been used in other parts of Asia before its arrival on Okinawa, likely originating from Indonesia.The sai's utility as a weapon is reflected in its distinctive shape.The sai also has many defensive uses in blocking other weapons.This allows you to manipulate the sai so that you can press it against your forearm and also allow you to avoid getting your thumb caught in the handle when blocking an attack.The knuckle end is good for concentrating the force of a punch, while the long shaft can be wielded to thrust at enemies, to serve as a protection for a blow to the forearm, or to stab as one would use a common dagger.In practice, some prefer to keep the index finger extended in alignment with the center shaft regardless of whether the knuckle end or the middle prong is exposed.The finger may be straight or slightly curled.The grips described above leverage the versatility of this implement as both an offensive and a defensive weapon.In the United States a common style is Yamanni Ryu.Five common kata are typically taught, including two kihon kata.Japanese equivalent of the (Okinawan) sai, and was used predominantly by the Japanese police during the Edo period.It is a featured weapon in the curriculum of several Japanese Jujutsu and koryu schools.In Hollywood, however, sai are portrayed as much more offensive weapons, being used as swords, daggers, and as throwing darts.Thus, the traditionally rounded weapon is portrayed with a blade.Sai feature heavily in movies: Raphael of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles uses twin sai as his weapons of choice.Mileena from the Mortal Kombat series uses sai as her primary weapons.In the Last Bronx series, sai are also wielded by Nagi.Furthermore, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) from Xena: Warrior Princess uses a pair of sai as her primary weapons in the later seasons.Then in the movie Bulletproof Monk, the villainess Nina uses a single black sai in her fight with Jade.In the animated television series, Ronin Warriors, the character Lady Kayura uses a modified pair of sai as her weapons of choice.She uses a sai attached to a chain.Also Kish from Tokyo Mew Mew uses a pair of sai, termed "Dragon swords".External links

Not a whole lot is known about A'Sai.During the events of the first Secret Wars, Galactus' worldship was
destroyed.This remnant was
discovered by A'Sai who recognized it as an item of power and kept it for
himself.Uatu realized that
something was approaching his Citadel, but nonetheless was not prepared when
A'Sai blasted into it and imprisoned him in rings of energy.Begining to realize the potential he now had, A'Sai sent Grunz away
and attempted to force Uatu to turn over and explain his own equipment and
weaponry to him.Uatu refused and warned A'Sai that he could be killed by the
safeguards of the equipment if it were improperly used.Uatu's technology and the knowledge of how to use it.Man had observed the group of young kids taking a beating in the game
at the hands of the older ones.Man
rallied the younger kids and taught them a few plays, and soon the score was
again close.A'Sai thought to renege on the bet, kill Uatu, and steal his equipment
anyway.A'Sai ended up as an image on a "joker" card at
the Bally's Grand Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, where he could see all the
gambling, but particpate in none.Weapon, and prevent its
abuse.So what happened to Grunz...The assistance of the
