Perfect for Iaido beginners, this discounted pack of Bokken Saya and Sageo is a great value option to learn the basic Reiho (etiquette) and Kata (form) before investing in an Iaito (metal training sword).

The Bokken (wooden sword) is crafted from top quality Shirokashi (white Oak) to classic dimensions typical of an all-purpose Bokuto.  The addition of the Bo-hi (groove) generates audible feedback when cutting, in a similar way to a real sword blade, giving information to student and teacher on the angle and precision of cut.  This Bokken is designed for solo practice only.  If contact is required we recommend our solid Daito, Saya and Sageo pack.

The Saya (scabbard) is formed of a lightly textured thermo plastic which hugs the body of the Bokken closely to form a snug interaction, preventing accidental release of the weapon.  The textured surface helps the Saya to move freely in the Obi (belt) to encourage correct movement of the Saya during Batto and Noto (drawing and re-sheathing).

The 8 Shaku chunky weave cotton Sageo is a perfect beginner’s option.  Easy to manage and long enough for almost all tying methods, it attaches to the Saya via the pre-formed Kurigata.  This combination offers the opportunity to learn how to both orientate the cord during Reiho and how to attach to the Obi correctly, in preparation for Kata.

Includes plastic Tsuba & Dome.
