Madake Thick Hakkaku-Koban Kotogata ♂ Shinai - GIYUMON
Selected Madake Kotogata Tsukabuto Hakkaku-Koban Shinai.
GIYUMON is a Kotogata (straight body type) with selectable thick grip (bamboo of 28mm or 30mm), exclusively crafted for men (available in 39 size only), made from Tokusen-Madake (selected Madake) finished with walnut oil assuring a high quality Shinai. The assembled option comes with hand-stitched Double or Single Gin Tsukagawa, and you can order only the bamboo too. It has that sensation of strength particular of the Madake bamboo type and overall Koto body-type, ideal for "powerful single strikes" Kendo style, but thanks to its thicker Hakkaku-Koban (octagonal-oval) grip it is also good for counter-attacks and it's more user-friendly than the standard Kotogata that usually feels heavier. And because you can choose the grip diameter (thickness) and the Tsukagawa length, it may become more comfortable for your hands and particular Kendo-style.
Recommended for Kenshi that aims Ippon using single powerful techniques and/or counter-attacks (if you choose the standard Tsukagawa length) or by taking advantage of the close Maai as well as for Jodan players (by selecting the longest Tsukagawa).
* 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.
* The Tsukagawa Length options are approximate. Due to the leather elastic properties, the length might vary between 0.5 to 1 cm from the option selected. Also, it may experience further elongation after use, specially when exposed to different environment (humidity and temperature changes). Expect it to extend longer than the initial length after a while.
* "Assembled Shinai"= Leather fittings/parts included. "Bamboo only"= Without assembling parts.

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.
