Canada Kendo Player Model Shinai - Tsuyoshi #39 Dobari Short Tsuka Shinai

This player model shinai is used by Tsuyoshi Hamanaka, one of the director of Budogu Zen, who was a member of Team Canada Men's Team for the 15th and 16th World Kendo Championship.

This shinai uses high quality keichiku bamboo.

The unique feature of this shinai is the dobari part of the shinai is located 3cm lower than the standard shinai.

Thus, the tsuka's length is shorter than the other and has more weight balance towards your hands.

It is recommended for kendoka who wants to hold their shinai shorter.

Grip Size: 28mm
