Shinai are also used in other martial arts, but may be styled differently from kendo shinai, and represented with different characters. The earliest use of a bamboo weapon to train with instead of a sword is credited to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna (1508-1572) of the Shinkage-ryu. The modern shinai, with four slats of bamboo, is generally credited to Nakanishi Chuzo Tsugutate (died 1801) of Nakanishi-ha Itto-ryu. The shinai was developed in an effort to reduce the number of practitioners being seriously injured during practice, making a practice weapon that was less dangerous than bokuto, the hard wooden swords they were previously using. This is also the motivation behind the development of bogu, the armour that protects the kendoka. Please Try It Before You Buy! No Refunds!! Please Leave Reviews Below And Concerns On My Page.
