Short Grip Jissengata ♀ Shinai - FUJIHIME
Jissengata Tsukatan Shinai
Exclusively made for girls and women, FUJIHIME features a thin overall shape with competitive-balance (Jissengata) and short grip (Tsukatan) which means the Do or wide protuberance above the Tsuka has been lowered, improving its maneuverability and Sae (snap & sharpness) to turn a strike into an Ippon, due to the momentum gained by the tip of the Shinai when hitting, thanks to the closer hand position on the lowered Tsuka. It can be selected assembled with a single or double Tsukagawa (Toko or hand-stitched Gin leather) or just the bamboo (without fittings).
Excellent option for female Kendo players that aims Ippon from a far Maai but also use Ouji-Waza or counter-attacks.
The bamboo type is Keichiku, so it has a great bending feeling when hitting.
* 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 would need to purchase them as a separate item.
* Assembled Shinai = Leather fittings/parts included.
