Choosing the right shinai can feel overwhelming — especially when there are over 150 models to consider.
Different weights, grip styles, balance points, materials, and sizes all play a role in how your shinai performs. And the "best" shinai isn't the same for everyone. It depends on your kendo style, your experience level, your physique, and how you like to move.
That's exactly why we built the Shinai Finder Quiz.
How it works:
Answer 9 quick questions about your kendo background, physical build, and preferences — things like your dojo's rules, your striking style, and whether you prioritize speed or power. The quiz takes about 2 minutes.
At the end, you'll get a personalized shinai recommendation matched to your individual profile — pulled from our full catalog of 150+ models.
No more guessing. No more buying the wrong one.
