		Convenient in case of sudden attack, it could be used for both cutting and slashing, and even for thrusting in a stabbing motion.
		With the kusurigama held in one hand, the chain and weight could be swung with the other to distract or force an opponent away, to strike, or to entangle a weapon.
		This is an Edo period kusarigama, a short sickle with a weighted chain attached.

		A kusarigama wielder might have also struck with the spinning weighted end of the chain directly, causing serious or deadly injury to his opponent while still outside the range of the opponent’s sword or spear.

		A fine example of this brand of Kusarigama, is the one held by Hatsumi Soke, on the cover of his "ninjutsu: history and tradition" book.

	The ‘Kashima Jingu Gasshuku’ Experience
		Dan had pre-ordered jo, tanjo, bokuto, and shoto for our students which we picked up after lunch; Dan also picked up a kusarigama for a sempai, and I picked up one for myself (Dan had picked up a jutte and tessen set for me at the February 2004 Gasshuku last year).
		As the weapons used in the SMR arts are standardized, and the specialized weapons like jutte and kusarigama are unique and specially made, the “weapons bazaar” is a recurring aspect of the “Kashima Jingu Gasshuku Experience.”
		After practice and a trip to the ofuro (Japanese hot tub), small parties broke out in several dorm rooms; the gaijin and a few of the younger Japanese students assembled in an adjacent dorm room.

		Considering his high physical strength and the danger his unfettered knowledge presents, he should be handled with extreme caution.
		Axl has a long reach thanks to his snazzy Kusarigama, which is essentially a combination of a scythe and a flail.
