Suburito, training weapon

Suburito - Training weapon made of polypropylene (Cold Steel®)

Solid training sword for technique and strength training

The Suburito is a traditional Japanese training weapon developed to improve cutting technique, posture and strength endurance. Unlike a normal bokken, it is heavier, thicker and primarily designed for individual training and swinging exercises. The simulated effort involved in handling this weapon makes it a respectful tool on the way to becoming a better swordsman.

The Cold Steel® Suburito was modelled on a handmade wooden original from the collection of Andrew Demko (5th Dan Aikido), with whom Lynn C. Thompson - President of Cold Steel - also trained personally. The realisation: a more modern version made of indestructible material had to be created.

The result is a training sword made from high-quality polypropylene with a long handle and square tip - absolutely unbreakable, weather-resistant and suitable for years of intensive training. It does not splinter, does not rot and retains its shape - even under heavy use.

The Suburito is visually impressive with its authentic wooden design and engraved Kanji characters, which symbolise the five basic principles of sword fighting:

• Circular Motion

• Blade Angle (blade angle)

• Cutting Trajectory

• Distancing (distance to the opponent)

• Wringing the Tea Cloth (tension in the cut)

This training sword is ideal for anyone who wants to perfect their technique and strength with a massive, realistic training weapon.
