Bokken with Saya Scabbard for Aikido Iaido Kobudo Kenjutsu

Polypropylene bokken sword, approximately 100cm long, for martial arts Aikido, Iaido, Kendo, Bokuto, including Saya sheath for drawing (nukitsuke) and sheathing (noto) training.

Although the word Bokken is widely the most used outside Japan to refer to the wooden sword used in martial arts, in Japanese the more correct term is actually Bokutō (lit. "wooden katana"). Just as with the term Samurai, which is commonly used outside Japan but to which the Japanese generally prefer the term Bushi.

The term Bokken, from a Japanese perspective, refers to a generic sword of any shape, not necessarily similar to a katana; compared to bokutō, the term bokken is therefore more generic as it could refer to both a katana and any other type of sword.

Finally, depending on the school, the bokutō can take on different shapes and sizes; for example, the Niten Ichiryu uses thin wooden swords, with very little curvature and without a tsuba.

It is mainly used in the training of martial arts that involve the use of the sword: in Kendō, in particular, it is used for the execution of the ten kata.

IAIDO: belongs to the traditional Japanese Budo disciplines such as Kendo, Jodo and Naginata.

AIKIDO: Japanese martial art practiced both bare-handed and with the traditional white weapons of Japanese Budō, mainly: "ken" (sword), "jō" (staff) and "tantō" (dagger).

KOBUDO: generally refers to the traditional martial arts in use on the island of Okinawa and is characterized by the use of a large number of traditional weapons, mostly of peasant origin.

KENDO: Japanese martial art, a form of budō and a combat sport that derives from the evolution of combat techniques with the katana.
