Hi all

The kama are a beautiful weapon whether you are using them or watching them.

A guy called Ashley Beck performs his TKD kama to music, and it looks really good.

I'll be moving on to use kama soon, when I get my next belt.

Yep, they are a small sickle.. It is commonly used as a gardening tool in Japan. My mom is very proficient with the use of Kama. She can weed out her garden like no-body's business.
