This Aikido Bokken is the best I ever used in ten years.
You can feel the great quality of this wood since the very first moment.
Perfectly balanced you can't even feel his weight (close to 800g) performing techniques.
Manage this bokken is not something that anyone can do, you need the proper tenuchi and cut just like using a leaf.
I think it can really improve my Aikido as well as my ken practice.
Highly recommended to high kuys or dan, perfect for any kind of practice.

Apreciation of tozando's aikido bokken

An outstanding bokken, perfecvtly crafted from a single piece of white oak, it's sturdiness and quality of the wood makes it perfect for hard training and able to witstand hard punishment without considerable damage to the bokken. It may lack the sharp profile of other bokkens with a crftmanship more similar to the katana but its rounder and more compact shape alow to deliver a destrctive contusion dammage over it's objective
Indeed more than a training item, but a weapon on its own right, hadle it with care, responsability and concern for others

My order was delivered faster than expected. This bokuto is high quality, specially compared to the items I usually find in my country. I've had several bokuto that could not withstand hard training. This bokuto is a bit heavier but the wood is very good, in quality and resistence. Besides, the balance is very good and that is more that enough to compensate the extra weight of a iwama style bokken...
It's a fantastic item at a great price. I strongly advise every aikidoka to try a Tozando Iwama Style Bokken.
Holding one makes you understand why bokuto is not just a piece of training equipment, but a fully capable weapon with a carisma of it's own.

I purchased a bokken, a jo and a bag.
All were expertly packaged, of the finest workmanship and easy to track through the international post.
Tozando did a fantastic job of accomodating my individual request for product modification as well.
Great customer experience all round, thank you !!!
