Description

Koto-Jissengata Tsukatan Shinai.
Chou is a Koto (straight body type) Jissengata (good for Shiai) with shorter grip Shinai, exclusively crafted for ladies. It can be assembled with a double Toko Tsukagawa. Great option for female Kendo players that use techniques aimed from far Maai, who also waits for the right opportunity to finish with a single strike. This Shinai will not only boost techniques that stretches from afar (thanks to the short grip) but also boost the Sae (the snap or sharpness needed to turn a strike into an Ippon) thanks to the balance and weight on the tip due to the Kotogata itself (helping to increase the power and definition of a strike).

* SSP Approval: This Shinai follows the actual All Japan Kendo Federation designated regulations.

* The size of Tsuba/Tsubadome set is designated by the Shinai size when the option for adding them is selected. If you want to buy a specific size of Tsuba/Tsubadome set, you need to purchase them as a separate item.

* Assembled Shinai; Leather fittings/parts included.

Warranty
We make a quality check after the products are finished at the workshop and before preparing the shipment, but in case that something was overlooked or one of the products from another maker has some kind of malfunction, and if you find any trouble with your purchase after receiving it, contact us immediately to help you out. If you think there is a problem after using all the purchased items for a while, you can also write to us, and we will analyze your case to check if we could offer you a solution in the way of repair, exchange, refund or a compensation in case it corresponds depending of the problem. But please be aware that not only all the protective gear that is used wrongly or in extreme situations will be damaged. Due to the normal use (sweat, friction, hits) and to the weather (direct sunlight, dryness, humidity) impacts over time, it is assumed that the condition of the product will decrease. Before contacting us, take the aforementioned into consideration, and if we found out the cause or reason of the problem is not due to a defective product or manufacture error, there will be no replacement, repair, refund or compensation whatsoever. * In case of bamboo and wood products (Shinai, Bokuto, Suburito), designated weight and their surface's condition might change during the shipping due to moisture/humidity changes that may occur while handled or stored by the couriers and while traveling to your place for delivery. Natural raw materials, specially bamboo, might present imperfections such as color change, dark spots and other visible details that are perfectly normal; these do not represent any problem in terms of durability. Also, many of our Shinai have a layer of wax or oil finishing, thus residues may be found on the bamboo. For this reason, we suggest to clean these kind of products with a cloth before using them the first time. And in case of small deterioration on the surface due to dryness, we recommend to put (only on the bamboo or wood areas) a layer of vegetable-oil after polishing with sandpaper, if necessary.

    Very good shinai

    Posted by Daniele on 28th Mar 2024

    Truly quality shinai! I am a Nito practitioner and I was looking for a different shinai from the recommended dobari style models for Nito. I wanted one light shinai but with a balance slightly more shifted towards the mono-uchi, for this reason I purchased a 38 and then proceeded to shorten it to bring it under 114cm. I started using it a few days ago and I'm very happy with it. The diameter of the tsuka is perfect for my hand and for using katate actions. The only negative side was the Italian customs which made me wait a long time and wanted a surcharge on the product.
