Eku
Chikin Sunakachi or Ekudi is a form of kobu jutsu that was developed by fishermen. It uses a wide range of techniques, many of which are adaptations of bo jutsu techniques. One characteristic move is called sunakake, in which you first carry out metsubushi (eye smashing) by splashing seawater in your opponent's face when at sea or tossing sand if on a sandy beach, and then immediately carry out a slashing attack. The difference from the bo (long stick), is that you can conduct a cutting technique using the eku (oar). Is makes it an extremely practical weapon full of destruction power in the hands of an Ekudi master. Kata include Chikin sunakachi ekudi, and Chikin akacchu ekudi.
