Bokken Practice Katana

Are you looking for an Iaido bokken training sword? I think you may need to drop by and read this article before you do buy one. Bokken is a Japanese word and is basically a wooden sword that is similar to the katana. Instead of using real blades during coaching, a training sword is used. Newbies are required to use the bokken sword until they have mastered the basis of Iaido. A certain level should be reached before the practitioner will be allowed to use the actual swords.

The SE-550- IADO Bokken is a 40 inch, semi-thin wooden blade ideal for practice. This type of bokken comes with a saya (scabbard) which differs from the standard bokken. Iaido refers to the Japanese sword style which is exercised using both bokken and real samurai swords. The Iaido bokken gives the student a better edge of the art of drawing and returning the blades.

The Iaido bokken sword is used for safety reasons. Even veterans use them, especially when they are working out with the new practitioners. Live blades pose the risk of being cut while practicing but with the Bokken, they will have a much safer preference.

Among the Iaido bokken training sword that you can find in the market are sold for under $35. These are also available in two most common colors, black and brown. This usually comes with a cord wrap on the hilt and a metal kashiri (end cap) and is lacquered and gloss.

These are some of the modern bokken swords you can find online. Japanese swordsmen have used this for centuries until now. The swords are crafted from hardwood such as red and white oak. Since as the blades are crafted from wood, the practitioners can't use them for a real sparring session.

The process of making a bokken is a century old tradition from selecting the best wood, drying, and to the shaping. Only those top notch woods are used to shape. So it can be considered to be in accordance to the Japanese tradition. However, in the advent of technology, shaping machines are introduced apart from manually sculpting it, which is very tedious. Shaping machines provides a better consistency when it comes to balancing, length and width of the weapon.

If you want to learn the basics of Iaido or hone yourself from using a sword, you don't need a live blade in the early sessions. You will need to purchase a good quality bokken so that you can practice even at home. The basic techniques are very easy to learn and with a proper use, your wood sword can go a long way.

Are you familiar with Miyamoto Musashi? He is a Japanese swordsman who fought with Sasaki Kojiro using a bokken. Musashi's bokken was actually carved from an oar while travelling by boat to the duel place!

Using the internet, you can easily find the sword that meets your standards.. Learning the basics of Iaido can be safe and fun with the use of the bokken swords. Take time in learning everything you need to know about Iaido. In due time, you will be able to hold a real blade. For now, the bokken is enough for your training sessions.
