A shinai (竹刀) is a Japanese sword typically made of bamboo used for practice and competition in kendō.[1] Shinai are also used in other martial arts, but may be styled differently from kendō shinai, and represented with different characters. The light, soft wood used in a shinai distinguishes it from other wooden swords such as a bokken (木剣), which is generally made of heavier, sturdier wood.
