Wakazashi Bokken, sword of
Polypropylene training Improved version of 2015 with imitation of coiled cable
The best martial artists in the world have known a simple truth for a long time: if you want to become reasonably good at handling a fighting instrument, you should strive to learn the best combat techniques, footwork, and basic postures. However, if you want to be a master at this, you will eventually have to start training with weapons real .
If, for example, your ultimate goal is to wield a sharp sword safely and effectively, you need to train with a sword that approximates the size, touch, and weight of a living blade, but that minimizes the possibility of causing severe, permanent, or life-threatening damage to you or your training partner.
This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used wooden blind 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 sturdy wood of Japanese white oak, wood they called Kashi. This type of wooden sword is an elegant solution to a problem that is cumbersome and effective enough to be used even today, but authentic Kashi wood bokkens are becoming quite expensive. The problem is also that a weapon Wood training can rot, crack, crack or chip and eventually become useless.
Cold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a line of low-priced synthetic substitutes that were immune to the elements. The Cold Steel training weapon line is made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicates its actual counterparts in length, size and touch. Although they are not as rigid as wood, they have the advantages of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and resistant to cuts.
Cold Steel's Japanese training swords are closely modeled after the world-famous swords of the Warrior Series. Their wide blades mimic the flowing lines of Warrior swords, but because they're made of super-tough polypropylene with no sharp edges or edges, they're perfect for armored sparring, training, conditioning exercises, and pell work ..
Each model also features an intricately detailed imitation cord grip, offering superior control even when wearing heavy gloves. These swords offer superior heavy-duty training potential for the modern martial artist.
