Solid Wood Practice Samurai Bokken

This classic hardwood sword is perfect for the martial art trainee to the professional. The Sword is Oak and is 40" in length: Bokken is a training sword used as a relatively safe and inexpensive substitute for a real blade in several martial arts. They were used in the early stages of iaido when a practitioner has not yet reached the level where use of a iaito would be safe. The exception would be when a certain kata involving two people is performed. Then the veteran iaidoka will use a bokken for safety reasons.
