🌀 Tamagusari (Chain Balls) Online Lessons Have Finally Begun

As we announced earlier, starting August 2025, we’ve officially launched Tamagusari training as part of our Special Weapons Class in the online lesson program!

What is Tamagusari?

The Tamagusari is a hidden weapon once used by samurai—basically a chain with weighted balls at both ends.

While some other ryuha styles also use similar weapons, in Asayama Ichiden-ryu, we call it Tamagusari.

This weapon is swung or thrown to catch your opponent off guard—pretty awesome, right?

What You’ll Learn in the Online Class

In this class, we’ll be practicing:

What we practice 🔽

• 10 different swinging drills (Suburi)

• Kata (Forms)

While some techniques require a training partner, there are still plenty of exercises you can do solo—so no worries if you’re training alone!
