Kendo Shinai

The Bamboo Shinai is the traditional practice sword used in the Japanese martial art of kendo. Constructed from durable bamboo, this shinai is designed to absorb impact and provide the feel of real swordplay while allowing safe, controlled training. With its covered handle and included two-piece handguard, it is ready for use in the dojo or backyard practice.

Built for Impact and Realism

Favored by kendoka around the world, the bamboo shinai offers the excitement of sparring while reducing the risk of injury when paired with proper kendo protective equipment. Its lightweight design, flexibility, and shock-absorbing qualities make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced practitioners looking to improve their speed, timing, and form.

Economical and Versatile

This shinai is an affordable way to begin or expand your martial arts training. Available in various sizes to suit different practitioners, it is equally useful in the kendo dojo or for casual training sessions. Rugged, practical, and traditional, the bamboo shinai remains a classic choice for safe and spirited sword practice.
