Bokken "Bushido Dragon" – Wooden Training Katana (98cm) with Dragon Design

The Way of the Warrior, carved in wood.

The Bokken (or Bokuto) is the foundation of Japanese swordsmanship. This specific model stands out from the crowd with its striking visual design: The blade features a detailed Dragon motif alongside the Kanji characters for "Bushido" (The Way of the Warrior).

Tradition meets Training: Derived from the words "Boku" (Wood) and "Ken" (Sword), this tool is essential for practicing Katas (forms) and Suburi (swinging/strength training). Unlike a live blade, the Bokken allows for safe partner drills, blocking techniques, and choking maneuvers that would be impossible with a sharp Katana.

Rooted in History: Historically, Samurai who could not afford steel swords carried Bokkens as their primary weapon. Even today, in the hands of an expert, a Bokken is considered a formidable weapon, not just a toy.

Weighing in at approximately 0.52 kg (1.15 lbs), this Bokken is relatively light and agile. This makes it perfect for beginners focusing on form, younger martial artists, or fast-paced technique drills. It is an excellent choice for Aikido, Kenjutsu, or as a decorative piece for any Japan enthusiast.

Product Highlights:

• Striking Design: Features a Dragon print and "Bushido" characters on the blade.

• Perfect Trainer: Essential for learning forms (Kata) and sword handling safety.

• Safe Practice: Allows for contact drills and blocks without the risk of a live edge.

• Agile Handling: At 520g, it is easy to maneuver and great for beginners.
