| Kenjutsu
Equipment
For
our kenjutsu practice, we tend to be a little less formal
than for iai and often wear samue for general keiko. However,
iai clothing
is fine if you wish to wear it:
| Samue |
-
loose Japanese casual clothing - ideal for keiko.. |
| Obi |
-
wide belt to supprt sword - not coloured like karate/judo. |
| Zori/Tabi |
-
zori are outdoor footwear and tabi are optional for
indoor use. |
The
only weapons we use in kenjutsu are bokken/bokuto (wooden
swords) as it is a paired practice.
They
are usually purchased as a pair as we use the odachi (long
sword) & kodachi (short sword) during general practice.
