Cold Steel Bokken (Sword Training Weapons)

http://www.coldsteel.com
Our Bokken and our new Wakazashi Bokken are made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real Katana and Wakazashi in length, size, weight and feel. While theyre not quite as rigid as wood, they have the advantages of being virtually unbreakable and remarkably stiff and cut resistant.

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

Can you leave the tsuba off, if your used to a one-piece bokken, without messing up the mechanics?

[csknives]

@JohannVF Yes, you can leave the Tsuba off

I love watching White people fantasize about being Asian...It's awesome

Lynn Thompson should write a book or memoir. At the very least post a list of books that influenced him the most. That would be great.

@larukulunaseas im white and I approve

@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'.

@larukulunaseas

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

[MrReigan111]

@larukulunaseas It's funny because it is in every anime :)

[yazmanofsteel]

Am I the only person who find that more white people are obsessional over marshal arts than Asians?
