Wow.....My friend has these and we fight with no saftey gear, but I never knew these were so dangerous. I have the gladius swords and they're twice as powerful then the Bokken, so those must be REALLY dangerous. I was fighting with them (Gladius sword) and I hit someone's hand with meduim strength, and it was hurting for about 4 weeks. Does anybody know where to get some training gloves? Those would be nice.
@Super0jetFromLU ouch! I really recommend wearing safety gear when sparring with these! It depends on how you fight/train but we use a mixture of Hockey and FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) gear
@yazmanofsteel Depends. When it comes to thing such as weapons, its much easier to practice these arts in America where our weapon laws are much looser. Almost anyone can get ahold of a katana in america if they wanted one, which is why such things are so popular here. Not because we are 'white'.
@metallica2X4 they make knives and swords that are unbreakable and super sharp so they have to push the weapon to the breaking point or it doesnt break
The other day I was walking down a dark alley when I was attacked by a ruthless gang of cans, watermelons, and wood pallets; luckily I had my Cold Steel Bokken at the ready...
@1207daone It's not made of steel, it's made of plastic (sort of). Cold Steel is the name of the company who produce these. What's 'plastic sword' in Japanese? :)
@yesimfromengland Because in terms of durability the polypropylene would likely never have to be replaced with full contact sparring. A hard wood bokken won't last a tenth as long.
I am no expert on martial arts, but this doesnt seem to have any real representation of any kind of sword fight to me, its just two grown men wearing funny suits hitting sticks together and making noise.
@Phrix0s precisely movie sword fighting has nothing to do with actual sword fight . this is what traditional japanese sword fighting and clothing actually looks like . duhhh
@HairofSteel555 Paul did a nice review indeed. But why put a bokken agains a real blade anyway? Bokken are used for training, kata and even sword tricks , not...fighting against swords! Just because it can be cut with a blade doesn't make it "fairly crappy".
When exactly are you going to go up against a guy with a katana using this training sword? Against cuts, a regular wood bokken lasts longer(I used my CS bokken to smash a glass bottle, there are nasty gashes on it now). But if you were to use something to smash for blunt force trauma, I'd rather use this CS bokken. I've had this particular CS bokken for about 9 months now and is as good as new. My previous wood ones lasted me 2 months approximately under regular sparring use.
i bought a set of these and we love them.traditional hard wood has a nice feel but these will last forever.and that little bit of flex takes out the shock so its nice on the hands when you have those long battles.
i heard they have 2 versions of this bokken one's made of higher quality then the other and cost 20 bucks more think its called Bokken O so witch one is this
@larukulunaseas I love people like you who get by with being racist and get top comments simply because you exploit the double slandered of being racist toward white people. The Japanese people have created an amazing fighting style, and have a huge lore behind the samurai culture. These white people are at least going out and doing something bad ass, exploring that culture, instead of sitting behind the PC. Its real easy to say the shit you did safe behind the internet. fag
So is an Asian person who wears a business suit, drives an automobile, works on the internet, watches television at night, plays golf or tennis a couple times a month, etc. fantasizing about being a white person? you can appreciate, adopt, and utilize parts of other cultures without fantasy or wishing you were something else
Great for martial arts practice and katas. Virtually unbreakable. But cut resistant? Real katana slice through it like butter. Invaluable training tool, and I still want one, but again: this bokken cannot be used against real swords. Calling it cut resistant is misleading, so I thought I'd clear that up.
you should know that there has been a guy who could fight against katanas with bokkens, in fact also other sharp metal weapons. kinda bit of irony saying this to the person who is using the name of Musashi
@mdt141 I am aware of this. Sword Buyers Guide did a durability test with a wooden bokken, and the cold steel bokken. The wooden bokken can resist a real blade (and yes, I know of Musashi's final great victory against Kojiro using a large suburito he carved from an oar). However, this Cold Steel bokken was sliced like a hot knife through butter. So obviously, you didn't understand my comment fully. Hope this clears things up.
The Pallet Cutting test is one that i like a lot, you guys need to add it to your sword tests, they can more accurately show how sharp and useful your swords actually are, Love it, it should be a mandatory video segment on all medium to long slashing weapon classes and your blunt weapons
also I found these to be lighter then my wooden boken and they tend to get bent after a while and take some straightening.
In summery,
They last forever compared to wood, but don't provide the same ridged feeling as they tend to flex more. I prefer a good wooden boken, but if you want something for light/med contact that will last more or less forever, then this is a good buy. Especially now that they only cost like $30, mine was about $60 when it was new. Also they have a larger variety now.
I've got one of these and I have to say its not bad. It's lasted, I donno exactly, about 4 years and isn't showing too much wear. I admit I've been fairly gentle to it, and I can confirm that HITTING A CINDER BLOCK WILL MESS UP THIS SWORD. I know this from experience. With my wooden ones I used to put on a demo where I break a bunch of tile, cinder blocks and boards. When I went to practice this with the Cold Steel one I took a big chunk of rubber off of the blade.
that dude was looking like if i dont make my master look good i could get fired so i midas well take this ass kicking lol plus the master failed at 1:46 with dismembering the hands lol
It is correctly called Bokuto. But the term Bokken is more popular. And Oak is good. I've made a dozen from oak, but it dosent hold up as well as Hickory in the long run
WOW.. A lot of comments. And most of them silly. I've used one of these. And they are very tough, no doubt. I make hickory Bokken, so I am certainly bias but I don't prefer these. Not that they don't function, obviously they do. But this is for junior students. I toy before your ready to commit to a more serious training weapon. I like the Cold Steel products. Quality, no doubt. But pass on this thing

@gaxxag lol, the brand name is cold steel, who would really make a practise sword out of real steel -.- (It's actually made out of a some sort of plastic)
@gaxxag These swords are not made out of steel, they are made out of very durable plastic. The company that makes them is called Cold Steel because they also make real knives and swords, but these particular broken are made of heaviest grade polypropylene (plastic). I actually own 4 of them and they are very good for practicing with before switching to live steel.
if you're retarded---if you think pro wrestling is real---if you love monster trucks---if you think larry the cable guy's accent is real---if you live in a trailer---then this is the product for you
These bokken are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I've been collecting the lot (katana, wakizashi, longsword, bastard sword, and dagger) and so far the only weakness that I have found is that in storage the black elastics used to secure the removable crossguards dry out eventually and crack. The hold is still solid even without them, and a bit of good glue solves it permanently anyways.
Only mod I had to do was rub the tips on some carpet to round them for sparring safety against thrusts.
What exactly is the point of the man in the end segment using the bokken in a totally non-sword manner? Really, what the heck?! Maybe he should get a pipe and be a thug.
You're a troll, aren't you? All the people bitching about proper kata/form/manner/whatever just piss me off. HE WAS SHOWING HOW DURABLE IT IS! You had fencing show at the beginning, later he shows that it can withstand beating stuff with it with brute force, don't you get it? D U R A B I L I T Y test! God damnit, think before posting.
I'm sorry, no, no. That pallet at the end there - I don't know where you get that shit from, but there is no way in fucking hell those things are gunna bust up a pallet like that. I used to chop those fuckers up with a nice shiny AXE, for firewood and i'm telling you those ARE NOT REAL PALLETS. I'm a fairly big dude and had issues using a fuckin MAUL to do it.
@theninjaswerehere True yes... But the Cold Steel bokken is impact resistant but are weak to actual cuts. Wooden bokkens will brake at impacts, and against a katana, but its more resistant to cuts than Cold Steel bokkens. Still i would prefer the Cold Steel... Doubt il ever need my bokken to be cut resistant
it is a good boken, yet unlike most wooden bokens this is easy to cut in half with a real sword, but then again how many people are going to use a boken against a real sword lol
so im prety sure that when you draw your sword bokken or actual katana the blade should be facing up. did not see the other guy do that in the kata demo. and i prefer the wooden hand made bokken to this bendy ass thing
The big dude has no technique at all while smashing away on the big wooden platform... You should buy a baseball bat if you want to smash away. Bokkens are to be used by experienced martial artists.
@sesmry so is a bat :P and i ment long o, and yes you do pronounce the second k look up to pronounce romaji, it helps whenever yiur at a sushi restruant you can pronounce everyhting correctly :P
@Asdfghjkl27able Miyamoto Musashi the greatest sordsman in Japanese history used a boken as his primary weapon for years. It was certainly an effecting killing tool.
Pronounced bo-k-ken with a short o. In japanese-englosh pronunciation double letters get their own syllable. A more litteral spelling would be bokuken. And also, why pay 50 bucks or watever for this as a weapon when yiu c
Very impressive demonstration. I just have one question about it. As you have seen on the tests they were mostly testing it on Blunt trauma striking it against flat objects. If you remember in the intro they said that this product was cut resistant. Unless the video that we're watching left out the ending I would have to say that the forgot some vital information in regards to what they are trying to back up. However, that aside this is indeed a worthy tool. ^_^ Still I would love to cut it.
What is the difference between the CS Bokken and the CS O Bokken, besides the length? There is a significant difference in weight (17.7 oz versus 28.6 oz)? Is the item shown in the video the standard katana Bokken? Thanks!
Hey cold steel, can you give us a video of you guys trying to cut this bokken with one of your swords?

it is a good boken, yet unlike most wooden bokens this is easy to cut in half with a real sword, but then again how many people are going to use a boken against a real sword lol

Because what I want from my bokken is to smash stuff up!
deimos2k 1 year ago 31
so im prety sure that when you draw your sword bokken or actual katana the blade should be facing up. did not see the other guy do that in the kata demo. and i prefer the wooden hand made bokken to this bendy ass thing

The big dude has no technique at all while smashing away on the big wooden platform... You should buy a baseball bat if you want to smash away. Bokkens are to be used by experienced martial artists.

@VaanTractor when they are smashing away at things they are just showing they cannot break, as they said at the start

@Asdfghjkl27able That's odd coz when I was in Japan training under a Japanese 10th dan who trains in the Butokuden he pronounced it Bo-ken.

* sry got cut off...when you can just use a bat? As far as practicing, yes, use this, but as a weapon?
Asdfghjkl27able 1 year ago
@Asdfghjkl27able Miyamoto Musashi the greatest sordsman in Japanese history used a boken as his primary weapon for years. It was certainly an effecting killing tool.

Pronounced bo-k-ken with a short o. In japanese-englosh pronunciation double letters get their own syllable. A more litteral spelling would be bokuken. And also, why pay 50 bucks or watever for this as a weapon when yiu c

@Asdfghjkl27able .....and it is bo as in wood and ken as in sword. You don't pronounce the second k.

how heavy is it ?

@shittyfuck It's a bit heavier than a wooden bokken, but not by much. I prefer using a bokuto as it is a lot heavier.

Very impressive demonstration. I just have one question about it. As you have seen on the tests they were mostly testing it on Blunt trauma striking it against flat objects. If you remember in the intro they said that this product was cut resistant. Unless the video that we're watching left out the ending I would have to say that the forgot some vital information in regards to what they are trying to back up. However, that aside this is indeed a worthy tool. ^_^ Still I would love to cut it.

@probableIMPOSSIBLITY am pretty sure this can take a hit from an actual katana without being cut.
gotta hand it to these guys, they make some awesome weapons

Well, I've got two Bo-ken and I'm always being careful not to damage the Bo-ken, so this might be a pretty useful Bo-ken to get...
But I don't have any real Bo-ken training, unfortunately, so I don't really know if this might be worth it...
Anyone knows how to harden the wood of a Bo-ken?

What is the difference between the CS Bokken and the CS O Bokken, besides the length? There is a significant difference in weight (17.7 oz versus 28.6 oz)? Is the item shown in the video the standard katana Bokken? Thanks!
