Bokken Archives - RingPowerInd

Bokkens are used as an inexpensive and relatively safe alternative for an authentic sword in several Martial Arts such as Aikido, Kendo, Iaido, Kenjutsu and Jodo. Used for the training of samurai warriors in feudal Japan, the bokken is a versatile tool that can be utilised in a number of ways, from self-defence to keeping fit when practicing swings. The simple wooden construction demands less maintenance than a katana and is ideal for light sparring, weapons training and demonstrations.
