Wakizashi Bokken – 62cm Unbreakable PPA Training Sword

Unbreakable PPA | 355g | Tsuba Included

The Wakizashi Bokken is the short blade of our training range — compact, highly durable and built for traditional Japanese arts including kenjutsu, kendo, iaido and aikido. Moulded from virtually unbreakable PPA (polypropylene alloy), it replicates the look and feel of a traditional wakizashi with the resilience to take years of drilling.

The short 62cm profile makes it the pick for close-range drills, disarming techniques and dual-wield practice — pair it with one of our katana-length bokken for classic daisho (long-and-short) training.

Key Features

• Virtually unbreakable PPA construction — high-strength polypropylene alloy that won't crack, chip or break in normal training

• Light and balanced at 355g — fast, responsive handling for beginners through to advanced students
• Diamond-pattern textured grip — firm, non-slip control through fast movements
• Integrated tsuba (guard) — realistic hand protection and control

FAQs

What's a wakizashi, and why train with one?
The wakizashi is the traditional short companion sword to the katana. Training with it develops close-range technique, and pairing it with a katana-length bokken lets you practise classic two-sword (daisho) forms — we stock katana bokken in 100cm and 106cm to complete the pair.

Is it really unbreakable?
PPA is a high-strength, non-brittle polymer alloy — under normal training use it won't crack, chip or splinter the way timber can. Virtually indestructible in the dojo, though not warranted against deliberate abuse, and avoid striking metal or sharp-edged surfaces.

How does PPA compare to cheaper plastic trainers?
Budget PVC trainers flex, dent and lose shape. PPA is a rigid engineering-grade alloy with realistic weight and feedback — it holds its form under repeated impacts the way a training blade should.

Is it suitable for partner work?
It's built for kata and controlled partner drills under qualified instruction. It's a rigid trainer that carries real impact, so it's not intended for contact sparring — use control and appropriate protective equipment.

Care Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight
• Clean with a soft cloth — avoid harsh chemicals
• Do not strike against metal or sharp-edged surfaces
