Encyclopedia : E : EK : EKU : Eku
Eku is a Japanese martial art utilising an oar (Japanese: ) approximately 160 cm in length. The oar was traditionally used as a weapon of self-defence by fishermen against foes armed with more conventional weapons. It is considered difficult to master due to the displaced centre of gravity of the oar.
