GOUKADO - Biotech Koto Short & Fat Grip Shinai

Biotech Short & Fat Grip Koto Shinai – Koto-Style Solid-Tip with Fat Grip (28mm)
Powerful Strikes, Superior Grip, and Elegant Form

🔹 Heavier Balance at the Tip, Fat Grip in Your Hands
Engineered for kendoka who value impact, stability, and precision, this Koto-style Biotech Shinai offers a tip-heavy balance that enhances the sensation of cutting. Paired with a fat grip (28mm tsuka), it gives you greater control and comfort—especially during strong or extended training sessions.

Crafted with premium Biotech bamboo, this shinai is finished straight and clean from the tsuka to the kensen, creating a weapon that both looks sharp and performs powerfully.

✅ Key Features
✔ Koto-Style Balance (Heavier Tip)
The balance is shifted toward the tip, making each strike feel deliberate, weighted, and effective. Ideal for practitioners focusing on accurate and powerful cuts.

✔ Fat Grip (28mm Handle)
Designed with a 28mm thick tsuka, this model gives a solid, full feeling in your hands, making it easier to maintain a correct grip and reduce slippage.
Perfect for:

Larger hands or those who prefer a fuller grip

✔ Short Grip
The dobari part of the shinai locating 2cm lower than the standard shinai creates an extremely unique and fine balance to fight both far and close distance. This makes the tip feels more lighter as the weight distribution is towards the grip.

Developing stronger tenouchi and stability in swings

Reducing fatigue from gripping too tightly

✔ High-Quality Biotech Bamboo
Crafted from carefully selected, straight-grained bamboo. The Koto shape allows for more consistent bamboo quality throughout, ensuring excellent durability and structure.

✔ Straight, Refined Finish
The entire body of the shinai is shaped to be visually slim and structurally straight, ideal for kendoka who value a clean aesthetic and a traditional, commanding feel.
