This Dobari-style Shinai is a high-quality model of KuSakura's Kendo line and is most certainly an ideal choice for all Kendoka searching for a model specifically balanced towards the upper part of the Tsuka (handle). Indeed, dobari-style Shinai are characterized by a larger body moving the weapon's center of gravity around the Tsuba (the guard) for a lightened tip. This specificity provides practitioners with a Shinai optimized to work on fast strikes. It will also be an excellent complementary choice to alternate training exercises and sensations during practice.
Made from high-quality Taiwanese Keichiku bamboo, this product is available in size 37 for children as well as in size 38 and 39 for adults. When ordered assembled, this Shinai is provided with a Tsukagawa made from tanned leather (grip handle) and a white Tsuru.
