Tsubasa brand, Madake Kotogata Shinai.
Kotogata (straight body type) with custom Tsuka type to select between regular (25mm) or thick grip (28mm). Made from Chinese Madake, which has more robust feeling than Keichiku type of bamboo. It comes assembled with double Toko Tsukagawa. Only available in 39 men size.
Recommended for higher grade Kenshi that focus on solid Kamae, with precise and small Shinai movements aiming Ippon using single powerful techniques and/or counter-attacks. The thicker grip option suits better those who have bigger hands or longer fingers.
* SSP Approval: This Shinai follows the actual All Japan Kendo Federation designated regulations.
* The standard Tsuba size does not fit on thicker grips Shinai. When the option for adding the Tsuba & Tsubadome set is selected, we will adjust (enlarge the hole of) the Tsuba, which is reflected on the extra fee.
* "Assembled Shinai"= Leather fittings/parts included.
