I would like to find some good looking shinai tsuba online if anyone has any web links... I have that very standard yellow one that comes with the shinai! One of the kids at the club has a very good looking Dragonfly tsuba, Dark blue and white...very cool! BUT, I am brand new and don't want to...
As indicated in the title, I bought my first shinai, a size 39 one as the instructor indicated, from the shop the instructor indicated. I've figured out the tsuba and tsuba dome. But I'm wondering if there's something else I should do before using it. There are some red strings wrapped around...
How do you clean the leather parts of the Shinai, especially the leather tsuka? It really gets so dirty. Any suggestions? Would brushing it with water and detergent safe for the leather hide? Thanks.

Hi guys, so i've been practicing for more than a year now and I need a new shinai. I live in a very random area in the middle of nowhere so there's barely one store to buy kendo stuff and I don't really like the quality of my first shinai bought from this store, after comparing to my senpei and...
dont you think its about time there was a curved shinai with a shorter grip and slightly heavier to make kendo more realistic (in regards to the katana) even though there are bokken aroun
Hello everyone, I have a new shinai that my sensei sold me but I also have an old beat up shinai someone gave me to use for practicing at work (and as a beater)... The himo is very loose and I would love to find a tutorial on tying it (or tightening it..) :evolved: (thats not a 3rd...

I'm trying 2 find a sparring weapon that my partner and i dont need 2 buy protective gear to use w/o hurting eachother(much), but i havent been able to find any reviews for this product.

Is silicone oil safe for the shinai?
Allo there! Another problem I have XD I bought this weapons bag at a local martial arts supplier, but I had to return it, because it was toooooooo long. Then I exchanged it for a smaller one. Too short. The only reason I was bothering with these bags that were not meant for a shinai is because...
Last night in class someone recalled that he had heard when making a widow shinai, I assume this means from parts of other broken shinai, That the stamp that is usually on top of the shinai was not to be used on the bottom edge or what would be the cutting edge of the blade. Anyone else heard this...
Hello everyone, I'm Sophie and I'm new here ~ I started practicing kendo two months ago, I already got a shinai (38) and just ordered my bogu set yesterday. However, people recommended me to buy a second shinai, as a spare one etc. After giving it some thought I decided to buy another shinai,...
I have been looking into different shinai that I might be able to practice with at home. I came across "suburi shinai" which, from what I understand, is not used for hitting but rather for just practicing suburi, right? I would like to get a small one since I have low ceilings...but other than the...
