The Wakazashi Bokken Trainer was originally designed to imitate a live blade without the possibility of causing permanent injury. This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their Gladiators and soldiers. And Japanese Samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a Bokken. It's an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless. The Wakazashi Bokken Trainer is constructed from the highest grade polypropylene available, and it closely duplicates a real sword in length, size, weight, and feel. It also has the advantage of being virtually unbreakable, as well as remarkably stiff and cut resistant.
