Basic Bamboo Shinai – Entry-Level Kendo Practice Sword (Special Price)
Looking for a practice-ready shinai at a great price? Our Basic Bamboo Shinai, manufactured in China, is an affordable choice for beginners and casual training. It’s ideal for those starting their Kendo journey or needing a spare practice shinai.
⚠️ Please Note: This is a budget entry-level shinai and is not the same quality as Japanese-made models. If you are after a long-lasting, competition-grade shinai, we recommend upgrading to our Japanese range.
Standard 39-Inch Length – Suitable for Adults
This shinai measures 39 inches, the standard length used in adult Kendo practice. It offers a familiar feel and weight distribution, allowing for consistent training and technique development.
Comes with Tsuba and Leather-Wrapped Grip
Each shinai includes a plastic tsuba guard and leather-wrapped handle for improved grip and safety. The tsuba helps reduce the risk of hand injuries during sparring, and the handle gives a secure, comfortable hold.
Great for Practice and Light Sparring
This is a basic, entry-level shinai—ideal for regular training, drills, and light sparring. It's not competition-grade, but it's an excellent option for dojos, students, and hobbyists.
