The best of the world’s Martial artists have known a simple truth for ages. ifyou want to become reasonably good at wielding a fighting implement, youshould Endeavor to learn the best fighting techniques, footwork, and the basicstances. However if you want to be a master at it you will have to eventuallystart training with a “live weapon”. if, for example, your ultimate goal is towield a razor sharp sword safely and effectively, you need to train with asword that approximates the size, feel and heft of a live blade, yet minimizesthe possibility of causing grievous, permanent, or life threatening injury toyourself or your training partner. This concept was implemented by the ancientromans, who used dull wooden swords to train their gladiators and soldiers.And Japanese samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a bokken.It’s an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still beused today. The only problem is that a wooden training weapon can rot, crack,chip or splinter and eventually become useless.
