I don't practice traditional Kama forms but I do open kama forms. More dynamic. Not quite as practical because we have a lot of kicking drills in it and if it was real you would never throw a kick at a samurai holding a sword unless you wanted to lose the foot.

I have watched others learn Kobu Ichii Gama no kama. I was busy with sai at the time and let them go their way while I was doing my thing. At some point I do plan to learn the kama kata however, I need to get kama first.

The kata for the gama in my syllabus is Kobu Ni Cho Gama
Once again this is a modernish kata created by one of the Matayoshi family.
TESSONE: Kama are basically sickles, with gama being the plural. Kata is a form

Kata is a form.
Kama is a weapon that is usually used in pairs and is basically a farming sickle.
Original name of the weapon is NichoGama (spelled wrong)

| As black belts we learn "komo nichi gama" or something like that. I'm probably way off on the spelling. Right now I'm learning "kama hyung cho dan", our basic open kama form |
