I've been seriously considering studying at the local Bujinkan dojo, before I do however I've been trying to read up on the details of their art.
I've seen a number of references to a Kusari Fundo, a weighted chain. From what I can tell it looks identical to a Manriki Gusari.
Is it essentially the same weapon, but with a different name? Does the different name but same physical structure imply the techniques of using it are significantly different from those of the Manriki Gusari?
