The KENSEI White Jodan Shinai is made for Kendoka who take Jodan no Kamae. Its Tsuka is longer than standard, so the right hand's push works effectively in each strike: approximately 36cm on men's size 39.

Within the KENSEI Standard range, each model is identified by the colour of its 剣星 mark, and this model carries the mark in white, 白.

KENSEI White Jodan Shinai with a standard, balanced profile, 25mm standard grip and a longer handle

A Longer Grip for Jodan

Fighting from Jodan changes how the hands work on the Shinai, and the longer Tsuka is made to allow for that. It lets the right hand push effectively when striking.

The extra length is not simply a longer leather Tsuka: the bamboo itself is shaped for it, so the grip does not become too thick under the right hand and the Shinai stays well balanced, with its weight towards the hands.

Single Jodan Shinai

This product includes 1 x KENSEI White Jodan Shinai, supplied fully assembled with a leather Tsuka and ready to use.

Key Features

  • Long Tsuka for Jodan
    Longer than standard, so the right hand's push works effectively in each strike; approximately 36cm long and 25mm in diameter on men's size 39, with the diameter measured on the bamboo without the Tsuka.
  • Shaped from the bamboo
    The bamboo is shaped for the longer grip, so it stays comfortable under the right hand rather than too thick.
  • Balanced towards the hands
    Careful shaping keeps the weight towards the hands for good balance.
  • Standard profile
    An all-round profile, so only the grip is specialised.
  • Ready to use
    Supplied fully assembled with a leather Tsuka, so it can go straight into Keiko.
  • Made to federation standards
    Made according to the All Japan Kendo Federation and International Kendo Federation standards.
  • Men's and ladies' sizes
    Available in men's and ladies' size 39.
  • Part of the KENSEI Standard range
    Each KENSEI model is identified by the colour of its 剣星 mark; this one carries it in white.

Made for Jodan

A specialist grip for Kendoka who fight from Jodan no Kamae.

Comfortable in the Hand

The grip is shaped from the bamboo, so the extra length does not make it bulky.

Who Is KENSEI White For?

KENSEI White is for Kendoka who take Jodan no Kamae and want a Shinai built for it, with a longer grip that supports the right hand in every strike.

It is the successor to our TENGU Shinai, and the best pick if you appreciate TENGU.

Please note: Shinai are made from natural bamboo, so slight variations in colour, grain, weight, and finish are normal. The product received may vary slightly from the product images. Please inspect your Shinai regularly and maintain it correctly before and after practice.
