Bu Jin® Design - Training Weapons

Hickory Jo and Bo

	Our hardwood Jo (pictured above) and Bo (not shown) consist of three laminated layers to make them straight, strong and durable. The Jo is available in three diameters: Small 15/16", Medium 1" and Large 1 1/16", and in lengths up to 55". The Bo is only available in the large grip size and at a length of 72". One general rule to determine the length of the jo is that it should fit just under your armpit while standing. Please specify length and diameter when ordering.
Bu Jin® Design Aikido Shinai Used for aikido sword training, these Yagyu style practice weapons are made of thick, imported Calcutta bamboo. Each has an attractive, durable hand-laced suede cover and grip, and measures approximately 43" long. These shinai are excellent training aids for kumitachi and tachidori. Available in Medium and Large grip sizes, and in a range of colors. Choose from Black, Chocolate, Navy and Rust. Have some questions about Shinai?

Hardwood Tanto

Bu Jin Design's training knives measure 12" in length and are carefully crafted from solid hardwood. Each piece is selected to yield its own distinct character, then individually worked to completion. Available in Hickory, Cherry, Maple and Walnut. Please specify wood type when ordering.
Bu Jin® Design Leather Tanto Like the Bu Jin Shinai, our bamboo training knives are covered with a hand-laced suede leather sheath and grip. They end with a flexible, padded tip for safety. Measure approximately 11". Available in one size only, and in Black, Chocolate, Navy and Rust.
