Anyone ever hear of a "choe-no-kama" / "choe-no-gama"?
I was reading that there are 8 kata for this weapon in Isshin Ryu.

I found this video which I believe is the long-handled kama kata.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjJPivqQfxY
The weapon in this video has a chain, but the original document from the first post said that there was no chain.
The kata in the video do have the same name as the above list.
Here is a picture of a Long Handle Kama which comes from Kaminoda's book on Isshin Ryu.

And here are a few more sites where the Long Handle Kama is listed.

On this page the set is referred to as the “Ryogoro Uchida Series”.

This page refers to the long handle sickle set as “Kaiden”
Juttejutsu and Hojojutsu are curiously absent from this page.
