Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art descended from Kenjutsu in which bamboo swords called "Shinai" and armor (bogu) including various protections are used:
- a metal grid protecting the kendoka from the head to the shoulders - and under which is placed a tenugui - called "MEN"
- gloves going up to the forearms called "KOTE"
- the breastplate covering the trunk, called "DO"
- protection for the lower abdomen and the upper part of the thighs called "TARE"
These guards were created in order to avoid injury while performing combat sequences at real speed.
Today, kendo is an extremely widespread sport in Japan but also abroad and tournaments are regularly organized around the world.

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.
