erm erm....I would just put it up my arm, and if it slips down then theres nowt I can do, lol. We can't take it off, so thats all we can do really.

The best is if you can find a kara with a smaller inner diameter. If the kara fits properly, it won't go flying down your arm and hit your wrist or knuckles. It'll stick a little more to your arm and won't move around so much. The kara I wear needs soap or oil to put on or take off and it's perfect for punching etc. because it doesn't go running up and down my arm all the time. My other kara is smaller in thickness but has a larger inner diameter and it used to hurt if I used to swing with it on. So don't go for a smaller thickness, but find a smaller inner diameter.

man, mine is quite small for my hand in terms of taking on and off, and since i might grow some more i dont want to get a small one

for now i will wear a top that has like tight ends of sleeves sortov (most tops do) and just put the kara underneath.....

either way.....the kara slows me punches a little.....but it adds enuf weight to hooks aswell :umm:

i personally get ticked off with tiny little kara, they have turned into womens bracelets, how is some titchy little kara going to deflect a strike from a sword like its meant to???????????

i just used to put my Karra along with the Shastars when I used to practise Gatkaa. There's really no way u can go around practising it with it on.

It's always better if you carry another karra in your left arm if you want to wear a big one.

yeh, thats a practical idea son of guru gobind singh.....thats wat i do, i take the big one of and leave the small one on, or jus put it on ma right hand.....orrr, u could allow the thick kara to hit your wrist and in time get used to it

[Gupt_Singh]

I have a small one on my other hand. Also my big karra i keep quite loose so that it slips off easy enought to hold in your hand while your throwing the punch.. just so it hurts a lil more hehe.. but yeah have had plenty bruises on my arm from practising with just the big one!!
