For the very beginning we will supply some bokken (training sword) but very soon you are going to need your own one and then later Fukuroshinai (leather cover bamboo sword).

We will explain and help you get the right one when you join the club.

The prices of the kenjutsu boken start form £80 (if treated correctly will last years), and Fukuroshinai £180 … that depends on JPN yen / GBP exchange ( this will also last years or even life time … depends on training)
