A Legacy of Samurai and Training Tools
The Edo Katana captures the essence of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868), a time when swords were symbols of both status and craftsmanship. During this era, shinai (竹刀) and bag shinai (袋竹刀) were introduced, revolutionizing training methods and paving the way for modern kendo (剣道). Today, SCHOLWAR ARMORY’s Edo Katana blends traditional aesthetics with modern materials, such as foam padding, to provide martial artists with a safe, effective training tool.
With cushioning and foam incorporated into the design, the Edo Katana ensures that your training experience is authentic, while also being safe and injury-free. Honor the legacy of the samurai while embracing gear that combines tradition and innovation, offering optimal impact protection during practice.
