In <strong>Europe<\/strong>, the term <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/produit\/bokken-standard-en-chene-rouge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bokken<\/a>\u201c<\/strong> is preferred to designate a wooden sword. Its meaning here is more general. However, in <strong>Japan<\/strong>, it\u2019s more common to use the term <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/produit\/bokuto-deluxe-en-chene-rouge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bokuto<\/a>\u201c<\/strong>, formed from the words \u201cBoku\u201d (wood) and \u201cTo\u201d (the sword\/katana). This expression is more precise when referring to a wooden sword designed to imitate a katana.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wooden swords are made from hardwood, traditionally <strong>oak<\/strong>, and are roughly the same shape and weight as the famous forged-metal katana. They were developed primarily for <strong>Kata-geiko<\/strong> (form practice), <strong>Kenjutsu<\/strong> (swordplay), <strong>Ninjutsu<\/strong>, <strong>Budo<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/categorie-produit\/arts-martiaux-et-sports-de-combat\/aikido\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aikido<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/produit\/shoto-en-chene-rouge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shoto<\/a>\n<\/strong>is a wooden sword replicating the Wakizashi, <strong>short swords<\/strong> often used in conjunction with Katana in samurai equipment. They are mainly used in Koryu or Kendo, but also in some Aikido schools.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bokken are as old as Japanese swords. Samurai used them because they soon realized that training with wooden swords improved their techniques.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the wooden sword is generally used for <strong>training<\/strong>, it can also be an effective weapon in its own right. Legend has it that Japan\u2019s most famous swordsman, <strong>Miyamoto Musashi<\/strong>, used two Bokken to beat even fully armed warriors in a duel.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bo, Jo and Hanbo sticks<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Jo Japanese wooden sticks\" class=\"wp-image-91888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-48x32.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/arme-en-bois.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The traditional Japanese weapon is <strong>the wooden stick <\/strong>, traditionally made from oak. The longest, measuring around 180cm, is called <strong>Bo<\/strong>. If it\u2019s a medium-length stick, it\u2019s called a <strong>Jo <\/strong>and measures around 128 cm. As for the short stick, called <strong>Hanbo<\/strong>, it can measure around 90cm.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the martial arts that involve wielding these sticks are called Bojutsu, Jojutsu and Hanbojustsu respectively. Jo is also used in Aikido and Hanbo in self-defense disciplines.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is the <strong>oldest and simplest Japanese wooden weapon<\/strong>, the origin of Bojutsu is not very clear, as there are fewer historical sources than for other martial arts. Among existing theories, Bojutsu owes its origins to religious practices that are still practised today at certain rituals and festivals of traditional Japanese dance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another theory attributes <strong>the origin of Bojutsu<\/strong> to the samurai who, having had their spear point or <strong>naginata<\/strong> (Japanese halberd) broken while on the battlefield, had to continue fighting with the handle to avoid being killed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why Bojutsu techniques are often shared with spear, sword and naginata techniques. For this reason, it is often considered the foundation of handgun handling, as well as<strong>an excellent method for developing the body<\/strong>. In fact, some martial arts schools consider Bojutsu ideal for learning timing and distancing.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tonfa: a weapon used by security forces<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"RED OAK TONFA 61 CM-1\" class=\"wp-image-28794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-60x80.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-8.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/produit\/tonfa-en-chene-rouge-61-cm\/\">Tonfa<\/a> is a traditional Japanese wooden weapon from Okinawa, known from Japanese action films and video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally made of red or white oak, this is a <strong>short<\/strong>, easy-to-carry <strong>wooden stick<\/strong> with a perpendicular handle one-third the length of the stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covering the outside of the forearm, this Japanese wooden weapon is effective in carrying the weight of the body into the blow, while the extremities enable more precise blows.

It is used to strike the enemy in attack or defense.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This wooden weapon of Japanese origin was created in Okinawa by<strong> farmers<\/strong> inspired by flails for threshing rice. Indeed, when the Japanese warlords invaded Okinawa, they banned the use of conventional weapons. As a result, local farmers began practicing Kobudo and Karate. Kobudo weapons were agricultural tools that farmers converted into objects they could use to defend themselves. Although the Nunchaku doesn\u2019t injure like a sword or spear, it\u2019s quite capable of <strong>knocking out an opponent with just a few blows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nunchaku is currently widely used in Okinawan Karate and Kobudo martial arts. It is considered an <strong>excellent training weapon<\/strong>, developing faster movements and improving posture. Handling this weapon, however, requires a great deal of training and experience, as the sticks rotate around the body with extreme force and speed. Hand and wrist reflexes must be honed by the Nunchaku practitioner, known in Japanese as the nunchakuka.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.daisho.be\/categorie-produit\/sports-de-combat\/armes\/\">Buy your wooden gun<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The warrior tradition is an integral part of Japanese history, and there are few martial arts enthusiasts who don\u2019t know what a katana or shuriken is.
