THE #1 SHARP KATANA IN EUROPE

 

Practice Iaito Selection

The iaito (模擬刀), often called a training katana, is a non-sharpened Japanese sword specifically designed for practicing traditional martial arts such as Iaido, Iaijutsu, and Kenjutsu.

 

Although visually similar to a katana, the iaito is generally lighter, offering better maneuverability for practitioners of all levels. Choosing the right iaito is essential to progress in your discipline, as proper balance and weight can significantly improve the fluidity and precision of your movements.

 

In this category, we offer a wide selection of iaitos made from different materials, including steel, aluminum, and carbon, each available in various lengths and weights to perfectly suit your needs.

Whether you practice Iaido, Kenjutsu, Aikido, or Ninjutsu, here you’ll find the ideal Japanese training sword for your needs.

If you have any questions or need personalized advice to choose the iaito that best suits you, our team is here to guide you.

The spirit of Iaido, between tradition and mastery
In the way of the sword, Iaido (居合道) holds a unique place. Every movement, every draw, every cut is a ritual meant to forge the spirit as much as the technique.

The extra light aluminum Iaitō is crafted to offer maneuverability, fluidity, and comfort, even during long sessions. As an heir to Japanese tradition, it allows you to train in kata and imaginary cuts while respecting the sacred movements of the samurai of old.

Naginata (薙刀)

This Naginata is one of the long weapons, intended for ranged combat (rider ...), the blade is heavy and this allows the weight to be balanced. It therefore requires strength and coordination of movements. The hook at the point is used among other things to unseat enemies.

This weapon, originated at the beginning of the Asuka era (710-794). It originally consisted of a saber blade mounted on a spear of about two meters. Its main function is to cut the hocks of enemy horses on the battlefield. In this respect she looks a lot like the Western Falcon. Used against an enemy, it keeps them at a distance, like a Nodachi can.

The Naginata is often associated with the Soheis and women of the Samurai class. But the Bushis continued to use it in combat until the beginning of the Sengoku era. It was at this point that the weapon was improved, with a more curved blade and the addition of a Tsuba.

This weapon has a golden guard. Its size (160cm) and weight (1.8kg) make it a pleasant weapon to practice. Although not one of the traditional staple weapons, this Naginata will delight practitioners looking for a weapon that is easy to handle and carry.

Carbon fiber has proven to be a good idea because it combines many qualities: strength, rigidity and above all, very low weight. In addition, its color and texture add an extraordinary visual to this blade.

The Iaito "Celestial Crane" is an exceptional iaito, the result of Murasame's reflection on the concept of an ultra-light practice sword for the Iaido.

The materials traditionally used in the manufacture of Iaitos (steel, alloy, aluminum) do not allow to drop below a certain minimum weight (approximately 650 g).

The only suitable metal is aluminum, but it is brittle, soft and not very rigid.

Carbon fiber has proven to be a good idea because it combines many qualities: strength, rigidity and above all, very low weight. In addition, its color and texture add an extraordinary visual to this blade.
