Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art descending from Kenjutsu using bamboo swords called "Shinai" and armor (bogu) with various protections:
- a metal grid protecting the kendoka from the head to the shoulders - and under which we find a tenugui - called "MEN"
- gloves going up to the forearms called "KOTE"
- the plastron covering the trunk, called "DO"
- protection for the lower abdomen and upper thighs called "TARE"
These protections were created to avoid injury while performing combat sequences at actual speed.
Today, kendo is an extremely popular sport in Japan but also abroad and tournaments are regularly organized.

For 60 years, ANSHIN offers advanced equipment for the practice of Kendo masters at NAGOYA and surroundings. MATSUKAN manufactures equipment for the Japanese team world champion in the discipline.

Shinai is a bamboo sword for Kendo.
Our Shinai are made in Japan and of an excellent quality.
A shinai is a bamboo saber - sometimes made of carbon - used in Kendo, made of four bamboo slats tied together with leather straps.
It is used during training performed at real speed to limit the risk of injury thank to its flexibility, which is not the case with a bokken (bokuto) or an authentic katana. In addition, a quality shinai will naturally be very resistant to shocks.
It is very important to take care of one's shinai and inspect it meticulously before and after each training session to identify any splinters or cracks.
Our Shinai are made in Japan in the traditional way and are of excellent quality.
