Training Sword O Bokken CST-92BKKD

A safe and effective solution for swordsmanship training

Master swordsmen of centuries past knew that to achieve a reasonable level of skill in the art of sword fighting, one had to master the appropriate combat techniques, work on footwork, and master basic stances. But to become a true master of swordsmanship, it was necessary to train with a sharp-edged weapon.

If your goal is to achieve the skill necessary to safely and effectively handle a sharp blade, you must first train with a sword that provides the size, weight, and feel of a real, sharp weapon, but allows you to practice without risking serious injury to yourself or your training partners.

This training technique has been used since ancient times. The Romans used wooden swords to train their gladiators and soldiers in sword fighting and the Japanese samurai employed so-called Bokken, wooden swords made from the extremely hard and wear-resistant wood kashi or white oak. These wooden swords are a viable solution to a vexing problem and are so effective that they are still used today. However, authentic Bokken made from Japanese kashi are somewhat expensive and degradable. Sooner or later, they will become useless.

The solution offered by Cold Steel is a suitable alternative in synthetic material that is both affordable and resistant to the elements. All products in the Cold Steel line of training weapons are made from the highest quality polypropylene and have a weight, length and handling that closely resembles their real-life models. These training weapons are not as rigid as wooden swords and therefore have the distinct advantage of being nearly unbreakable, extremely hard and resistant to cuts.

Cold Steel Japanese training swords, including the CST-92BKKD O Bokken, are part of the company's renowned Warrior sword series. These swords have the same flowing lines as real Warrior swords, but are made from extremely durable polypropylene and have no edge or point. With the proper protective gear, they are ideal for training and technique practice, as well as for fitness exercises and Palus training.

Each training sword model in the Cold Steel line features a handle that closely mimics the traditional rope handle. This provides excellent control even with thick gloves and offers the modern martial artist above-average training potential.
