    So in your training, you're not only gonna use practice blades, but you're also gonna need to use the softer training weapon in order to realize other types of movements and techniques. And here we have a shinai that's actually wrapped in a piece of leather, which is very useful because you can still slide it and run it along skin and it won't quite burn or cut like it will if you using a shinai. And it's important to use these types of different training weapons. Here, this is a bokken, a wooden sword, very useful as well, has a little bit more weight to it and is also very very important for learning proper kenjutsu techniques in various different schools. And actually classically was even used as a weapon itself by people that couldn't have a real blade and was used quite effectively. There's many stories about people prevailing in battles using wooden swords.

    Tell me more about those warriors that could not have a steel sword but still bested their opponents using, in my opinion, a weapon that to me feels alive more than a steel blade but I have had little experience of with much else. My situation is very similar and would like to know how they accomplished these feats of outstanding skill and how I might learn to do the same.

    Hi I practise Kendou and I was wondering, would it be bad to fight a shinai with a bokken? I know bokken are dangerous but I'm just wondering if a shinai could hanble a bokken, would the shinai get damaged?

      a bokken was bassically a wooden stick the length of a katana, thats how they originally were before carpenters refined them into what we recognise as a bokken

    Actually musashi beat a very skilled warrior after aggravating him and making him challenge the wild man to a duel. musashi then made the samurai wait and this annoyed t
    Him even more as their duel was to be among gentlemen. He challenge the samurai on a secluded beach to which Musashi rowed to and as he arrived he fashioned one of the oars into a makeshift bokutou. It should be mentioned that the rival had a sword a few inches longer than most and he fashioned his par to be a few inches more to gain the upper hand. He defeated the samurai by crushing his sternum in one blow.

      Yea but in those duels no one wears armor if they did wooden oar wouldnt do much to cause a mere headache under the helmet.

      @@entirehorz8327 you could apply the same concept to a European knight and a mace to the helmet. Put a bucket over your head and bang on it just slightly to simulate the effect. Only it’s a trained warrior that was undefeated with a skilled strike to the right target with the appropriate amount of force behind it. At most, death follows at least, knock out offering more opportunity for death following.

      @@dgraveley34 I wouldnt really compare a bucket to a properly made helmet, maces can hardly damage or break helmets but brain damage is still there.
