Wakizashi Bokken – Training sword with improved hilt

Description The best martial artists in the world have long known a simple truth: if you want to become reasonably good at wielding a fighting implement, you must strive to learn the best fighting techniques. techniques, footwork and basic postures. However, if you want to be a master at it, you will eventually have to start training with real weapons . If, for example, your ultimate goal is to wield a sharp sword safely and effectively, you should train with a sword that approximates the size, feel and weight of a live blade, but minimizes the possibility of causing serious, permanent and grievous injury. or life-threatening injuries to you or your training partner. This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their gladiators and soldiers, and the Japanese samurai used a wooden training sword called a bokken. A bokken was made from the super-strong wood of Japanese white oak, a wood they called Kashi . This type of wooden sword is an elegant solution to an irritating problem and effective enough to still be used today, but authentic Kashi wooden bokkens are becoming quite expensive. The problem is also that a wooden training weapon can rot, crack, split or splinter and eventually become useless. Cold Steel’s solution to these dilemmas was to design a line of low-priced synthetic substitutes that were impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of training weapons is made from the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicates its real counterparts in length, size and feel. Although they are not as rigid as wood, they have the great advantage of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant. Cold Steel’s Japanese training swords are inspired by the world famous swords of the Warrior series. Their wide blades mimic the flowing lines of Warrior swords, but because they are made of super-strong polypropylene with no sharp edges or points, they are perfect for armored combat, training, conditioning exercises and spell work. Each model also features an intricately detailed faux lace grip, which offers superior control even with thick gloves. These swords offer superior heavy training potential for the modern martial artist. Details: Overall length: approx. 69.5 cm. Blade length: approx. 53.3 cm. Length of handle: approx. 16.2 cm.
