About this product

Product Information

Focusing his expertise on the techniques and history of the bokken--the wooden training sword used by both ancient samurai and today's swordsmen--the author maintains that training with the bokken is important on two levels for the modern practitioner: to build the physical stamina, rhythms, and adroit body movements of traditional swordsmanship and to achieve something of the animating spirit of the traditional swordsman. This history of the bokken combines the author's concise, eloquent writing style with more than 100 photographs to provide the reader with the traditional and modern perspectives of this vital, historically rich practice tool.

    great book! in good shape and good price.

    I purchased this book because I had it before but it got lost. I was very interested in it. This Bokken book helps me in my every day Iaido practice. Is a very practical book easy ro read and understand. I also got this book for a very good price. Is in verry good shape for being a used book.

    Title was somewhat misleading but book was certainly worth reading.

    Great historical interest, many facts unknown to me until reading this book.

    bokken art

    I never been trained in any japanese sword art. But I believe this book can enlighten some area for me and other martial art students as well. Although I don't expect to be able to sword fight with book reading only knowledge, the forms if trained well, is a very good exercise. And it's a cheap way to learn a sword art minus the risk.
