I bought Gabrielle's prop sais reproductions many moons ago. They hang over my fireplace mantle. Still fun to look at. And they are a great conversation starter for first time visitors to my place.

Xena had an excellent stunt coordinator, but I don't think I  ever heard 
that they had a martial arts trainer.  I believe the  stunt coordinators 
worked out the fight scenes.  I read somewhere, probably  in the official 
fan magazine, that O'Connor was simply given a box containing  the
sais and a video of sai instruction.  She took the box  home, put the
video in and started working out.  She recalled that her  boyfriend,
who was living with her, abruptly left the room.
 
Okinawa developed non-sword weapons and fighting techniques  because 
the island's Japanese samurai occupiers banned swords for the  local
population.
