Armed and Dangerous - But mostly to myself

I purchased a pair of sai at the Renaissance Festival and I've been playing with them ever since.  I've been practicing the proper way to hold and flip the sai.  They aren't the best quality for real combat, but they are good to practice with.  Of course I'd be better off with a gun or a shank because it's highly unlikely that someone would attack me with a bo or a sword, however it does provide a good arm workout.

I'm getting pretty good at flipping them, and strangely enough, I'm better at flipping them in my left hand.  This surprises me because I do everything better on the right side.  I can do a right split, but not a left one and I could do more pirouette turns on my right side than I could on my left side.  For this reason, every time I did any physical activity I would practice more on my left side.  When I practiced throwing punches with my dad and my brother, I would practice south paw.

I'm going to ask my brother if he knows how to use the sai.  He's a brown belt in kung fu and even though his primary weapons were the bo and the saber, I wonder if he had any practice at all with the sai.  He was really a sight to see with the bo.  Every time he went to competition and performed the bo kata he'd place at least second.

Anyway, suffice it to say, the husband has been keeping a wide girth around me.
