Doumo arigatou gozaimashita, me ha servido bastante tanto para armar, desarmar y dar mantenimiento a mi Shinai, como para conocer los nombres de cada parte de piel. De verdad, muchas gracias
look for a martial arts store, or maybe a weapons store? I baught mine in a japanese shop, but there's a shop I know of that sells swords, bows, airsoft gear, knives, and all sorts of boxing or martial arts stuff. look out for a shop that sells that kind of stuff, they might have a shinai
Ive been trying to find a slow pace vid to show me how to repair and maintian my shinai, and I finally have. I hate buying new shinai cas mine broke in a tournament or training. I need to show this to my kendo classmates. Thnx Burgess!
If I found a place where they teach Kendo in Honduras, Central America, You sure can find one in Canada. Just keep looking! as dayat said, it is kind of "hidden"
Shinai oil, or if not available, boil some canola (also called rape-seed) oil, allow to cool then wipe that on with a cloth or paper towel, leave an hour or two, then wipe off the residue
thx for the vid... pretty interesting though... lol... I miss my number 37 shinai! I kicked ass in kendo with it! Now I have a number 38 shinai, it makes me look like a shit bricks... T.T
Yes, you can buy them fully assembled. Most of the basic ones do come that way. It is when you get into the more expensive ones with oval grips and the like that they may come unassembled, but still, they usually do.
This said, you still have to disassemble your shinai, sand the edges and oil it BEFORE you can use it to strike anything.
I'm curious what you mean by this. Any kendoka would learn how to put the pieces together but not necessarily how to tie the tsuru to the rest of the pieces from scratch. Why would access to a Japanese teacher matter in this case since they'd be learning at their dojo from either their sempai or sensei (who may not necessarily be Japanese)?
Why would someone be curious about how to assemble a shinai when they aren't interested in kendo? This would be similar to someone interested in learning how to clean a gun but has no desire to ever own one or take up hunting/sport shooting.

Kendo can be found all over the world, but its mostly 'hidden'.. I can't find another word to describe it, but its hard to find

Probably a dumb question but, can you buy them assembled already? I have 2 shinais, they were my dad's but I use them now since I actually do kendo.

Also, you must disassemble and oil it every month (unless you happen to live in a tropical climate) and sand off any splintered edges.
Do a search on any search engine (ie google) for something like, "shinai maintenance".
(stupid 500 word limit ...)

I admit this limit is stupid and useless. that, and they don't even allow posts with links to other sites. that's dumb

neogtrmn 4 years ago
actually, this is an interesting thing to see done.
(And, while I dont hunt myself nor do any sport shooting, I always keep my guns clean and ready to shoot.)
