Bokken Swords

The Bokken Sword is the Wooden Sword of the Samurai. This sword is much more than a practice sword as it's considered a weapon in it's own right and was the favored weapon by many Samurai Warriors.  Bokken Swords were designed depending on the specific skills and movements that were to be accomplished.   The different types of Bokken Swords are:

• Yagyu ryu bokken – This is the lightest weighted Bokken.
• Aikiken – The Aikiken Bokken is a little heavier than the Yagyu Ryu Bokken, but truer in balance, curvature and the proportion of a real sword.
• Kashima Bokken – This is the heaviest Bokken Sword and has a different shape, balance, and proportion of the others.
