training sword
Safe sparring weapon
A training sword is a practice weapon used for learning sword techniques without the danger of a sharp blade.
Training swords may be wooden (like a bokken in Japanese martial arts), blunted metal, or padded foam.
They allow students to develop form, timing, and sparring skills: Beginners start with training swords before progressing to live steel.
