- History of sai and its use through time
- Physical measures and material, costs
- Holding and gripping
- Relation to the empty handed techniques (karate)
- Competition Injuries and risks
- Basic handling
- Paired drills

Booklet should become available in March 2010, in separate versions for Finnish and English languages.
