Bokken and Japanese Training Swords
Samurai sword fighting is attracting more and more people. Training improves balance, coordination, and focus, and it brings peace of mind. Here you'll find bokken, training katanas, and other Japanese swords for practising iaidō, kenjutsu, and kata. Start safely: choose a wooden bokken or a durable plastic sword, add a tsuba and a case. Gradually move on to heavier models and hone your technique without the risk of injury.

Bokkens - Exercise Samurai Swords
The bokken is used as an inexpensive and relatively safe substitute for a real sword in several martial arts such as kendo, aikido and kenjutsu. Its simple wooden construction demands less care and maintenance than a katana. It is not a sparring weapon, but is intended to be used in kata and to acclimate the student to the feel of a real sword. For sparring, a bamboo shinai is typically used instead for obvious safety reasons.
