Takeyoshi (Keichiku) Kobangata 武德 小判型 39 Male and Female
This shinai features an oval grip, modeled after the handle of a real sword. The oval shape is particularly beneficial for suburi practice, as it encourages proper grip technique.
This model is recommended for individuals with less grip strength or for advanced practitioners seeking a secure hold on the shinai. Its design has gained popularity among high-level practitioners for these reasons.
Crafted from high-quality Taiwanese bamboo, this sword combines practicality, durability, and elegance, featuring a ginpi tip leather printed with dragonfly patterns, nakajimegawa middle-section leather, and koshiraegawa handle leather.
