Kama (weapon) Wikipedia

The Kama are Okinawan and China|Chinese weapons that resemble traditional farming devices similar to a small sickle. The sickle, implemented as a redesigned weapon form, was called a natagama. The kama resemble another weapon familiar to the Japanese koryu, the Kusari-Gama, which had a weighted chain used to parry and club an enemy from a distance before the final Kama strike was administered.

The 'freestyle' forms popular today have little or nothing to do with the original weapon or its historical techniques.
