A bokken (also known as a bokuto in Japan) is a traditional Japanese wooden sword shaped to replicate the size, curve, and balance of an authentic steel samurai katana. It is primarily used as a safe, unsharpened practice weapon in martial arts such as Kendo, Aikido, Kenjutsu, and Iaido. Because they lack a sharp edge, timber bokkens allow students to master grip, stance, striking precision, and partner kata (forms) safely without the high risk of serious injury associated with live steel blades.
What is the standard size of a Bokken training sword?
The standard size for an adult training sword is approximately 100cm to 102cm (40 inches) in total length, which accurately mirrors the size of a full-scale traditional Japanese katana. This size features a standard blade curve and a handle long enough for proper two-handed grip execution. For younger practitioners, smaller martial artists, or those training in dual-weapon techniques, smaller sizes like 80cm youth variants or shoto (short swords) are highly recommended for manageable weight and safe speed.
What timber or wood are these practice katanas made from?
Our practice swords are crafted from high-density, impact-resistant hardwoods. We deliberately select dense timber grains that offer excellent weight distribution (mirroring a real sword's point of balance) while providing high resistance to splintering and denting during solo drills or light partner contact. They are available in natural timber finishes to show off the raw wood grain, as well as a sleek, matte black coated option for a modern dojo or cosplay aesthetic.
Do these timber swords come with a Tsuba (Handguard)?
Yes, our adult 100cm and youth 80cm timber bokken swords include a removable, heavy-duty thick plastic tsuba (handguard) along with a rubber securing ring (dome). The tsuba slides tightly down the blade to protect your hands during training drills. It can easily be removed if you prefer a streamlined look for solo kata practice, theatrical performance, theatrical props, or display purposes.
Can a wooden Bokken break during martial arts sparring?
Because a bokken is crafted from natural, solid timber, it can dent or break if subjected to extreme, repetitive high-impact force or reckless "blade-on-blade" bashing. They are engineered for smooth air swinging (suburi), precise solo forms (kata), and light, controlled partner contact. To maximize the lifespan of your timber sword, it should be used responsibly within the bounds of traditional martial arts discipline, checked regularly for stress lines, and kept stored in a dry environment.
