"Teikō" (抵抗, resistance), polypropylene bokken with saya

Did you know that a simple vacuum can change practice?
The "Teikō" molded polypropylene bokken is hollow: it embeds only a thin grooved wall that encloses... air! The result: just 490 g, almost 40% lighter than the famous solid O-Bokken (785 g). This slimming down offers sharper acceleration and less forearm fatigue, while retaining good kata rigidity. According to a 2024 Battle-Merchant study, the extra flexibility also reduces the risk of injury during hard impacts. Waterproof, dimensionally stable and virtually maintenance-free, this hollow bokken is the ideal partner for outdoor training courses or beginners' classes... provided you complement your training with a heavier model to preserve cutting marks!
