 Nice, solid, practical! Mar 16, 2010
I purchased a set of wooden bokkens and found them to be too heavy to spar with my 5 year old son and a little dangerous. The wooden bokkens as I am learning are more for technique and show. These foam-covered bokkens are perfect! They are lightweight, the handles are narrow for his hands, yet big enough for adults, and the foam padding protects against missed blocks and wild swings! A great tool for the young learner in this type of activity. A very good introductory bokken!

 Good and Solid, can take some abuse Sep 13, 2009
These are excellent, me and my brother hold nothing back when we swing and we haven't had any sign of breaking yet!
A word of caution though, these are pretty hard so they DO HURT! If you swing hard you have to have a high tolerance for pain. With young people make sure you explain to them to not swing to hard with these or you'll more than likely have someone crying.
Their is a hard wooden core covered by about an inch and a half of Raquetball like Foam.
All in all very fun for the money and great excercise, but painful.

Sturdy and well made Aug 08, 2009
I bought these to use with my 11 y/o boy. We have had them for a few months and they have had at least 10 hours of total use and are still in perfect shape. We are not gentle with them, but are careful to only hit the other sword or our bodies...not walls, couch, counters, etc. They are very tough and I would recommend them to anyone. We have a lot of fun with them and it is a great way to burn energy.
