    Question Buying shinai, to train with?

    Hello, i'm starting at kendo, but I have to wait like 4 months before they take in beginners, so would it be smart if I buyed a shinai and practiced with it?

    No. You'll just get into bad habits that will be harder to break. Work on aerobic fitness instead, and toughen up your bare feet.

    No. As Paikea said it is not only a waste of time but will create bad habits. Spend your time working on getting into better aerobic shape and strenghthening your core. Read the xtraining sticky.
