wooden swords

Children's duel props

Wooden swords are practice or toy weapons made of wood, shaped to resemble actual swords.

They serve for martial arts training, theatrical combat, children's play, or ceremonial purposes.

A wooden sword allows learning technique without the danger of a metal blade: The kendo students sparred with wooden swords.

Some traditions have specific terms—bokken in Japanese swordsmanship, waster in European fencing.
