Suburito Wooden Bokken, Bokuto with Tsuba - Training for Aikido, Iaido, Kobudo, Kendo, Kenjutsu

Cherry wood Bokken sword, approx. 100cm long, for martial arts Aikido, Iaido, Kendo, Bokuto.

Although the word Bokken is widely the most used outside of Japan to refer to the wooden sword used in martial arts, in Japanese, the more correct term is actually Bokutō (lit. "wooden katana"). This is exactly like the term Samurai, which is commonly used outside of 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 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, Niten Ichiryu uses thin wooden swords, with very little curvature and without 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 traditional Japanese Budō bladed weapons, mainly: "ken" (sword), "jō" (staff) and "tantō" (dagger).

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

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