Compressed Bamboo FURISEN Suburi Shinai

Great for suburi at home or office.

Weighted and balanced like a steel katana I bought this as a replacement for my carbon steel iaito for indoor training. I fitted it with a woven leather tsuba and traditional leather tsubadome, also from KendoStar. In this way, the Furisen will balance 11-12cm away from the tsuba and weigh just under 1100g. It has the exact same balance as my real katana, and weighs only 100g more. It handles almost exactly the same. The only difference is that a real sword's grip is oval and the Furisen's is round, but because you can feel the seam of the tsukagawa, you still have tactile feedback to maintain your hasuji and it still feels quite natural. If you want to use a leather tsuba, you may need to very slightly enlarge the tsuba's opening with a round file. Not much, the procedure will last only a few seconds. The leather tsubadome fits as-is. The build quality and fit and finish is phenomenal. 100% recommended as an indoor iaito for kenjutsuka and iaidoka, and as a suburi tool for kendoka.

Excelent for apartment keiko! Im very pleased with this Suburi Shinai, it allows me to do large swings inside the apartment without touching the roof, plus the weight is high enough to workout your arms and mind your form when you are tired.

Home shinai This item is really useful thing because now I can do kendo at home without being afraid of destroying my room. It also makes my mum feel calm and happy.

Highest Quality Absolutely perfect for indoor practice during the horrible cold and wet winter months. The package was securely wrapped and delivered very quickly. Really impressed with the quality of the furisen shinai I would highly recommend. Thank you again Team Kendostar for your service!

Perfect size and weight... ...for indoor/normal ceiling practice, and strength training. Very well made, nice looking for a "dwarfy" looking shinai, it's an overall 5-star experience with this furisen.

Perfect! Super happy with the product, fits in my suitcase well so i can practice Suburi whilst travelling. Fast shipment, excellent service as usual.

Furisen suburi shinai Excellent product, quick dispatch and shipping. Excellent service by Kendostar. Answered all e-mail questions. Well done!

Muy adecuado para suburis en casa Ya lo he probado y me viene estupendamente para hacer suburis en casa y por su peso para desarrollar mejor la musculatura específica para Kendo. Creo que es una gran compra. Además vino muy rápido.

Perfect for training at home Great for training at home and working on strength building. The order was delivered promptly and in great condition. I look forward to training with this shinai in my apartment. Thanks to everyone at kendostar for excellent service and products to match.

Great suburi shinai Great suburi shinai. Nicely made with great quality "bamboo" and leather fittings. Perfect for suburi at home and on travel. The service is impeccable and very efficient. Ordered on a Wednesday evening, received in France on Friday. Perfect!

Little Buddy :) This is awrsome product for practicing suburi and building muscle for kendo. This little buddy is always near me and this is awesome addition to my daily kendo home workouts. Also, shipping is so fast. Great job Andy. Best regards from satisfied customer and young kendoka from Serbia. :)

Great Suburi Shinai This is great for suburi practice at home, plenty of weight to work the forearms and get muscle memory for Tenouchi and being short, you can use it everywhere indoors. Thanks KendoStar !

Great product for practicing at home, fast ship My home ceiling is too low. This product makes my practice easier.

Perfect for suburi at home I bought this shinai because I wanted to do suburis at home, and I could not practice with a regular shinai. I'm so happy to have bought this! It's sturdy, very well done, and it seems you're holding a real shinai. It weight is great to build strength. It's definitely a recommended buy!

Solid! Great build quality, this bad boy is a solid beast, definitely would help for everyday practice at home.

It's a beast! Wow, a solid heavy piece of Bamboo. I can now practice indoors (low ceilings). You certainly feel the effect of the 1kg after a short time. Going to be great for building strength and stamina.

Suburi at home Highly recommended for suburi at home, building muscle for kendo or threatening the cat!

Perfect As a total beginner I wanted to practice the basic movements also indoors at home (as dojos are still closed due to the pandemic). Having the ceiling not too far away, even though it sort of worked with a standard shinai, I was still "blocked" mentally as I was afraid to hit the ceiling with every move. That time's over now :) The shinai came even more solid than I expected it to be, it's just perfect.

Love it i have a low ceilling at home and wanted to rebuild a bit. it's perfect. you got the weight for balance and muscle training + the shinai handle. Arrived in paris in like 2-3 days.

Great indoor training product I wasn’t sure how this would work as I’m new to Kendo. However it works really well in an indoor training session. Excellent quality, good weight and balance. I use it daily. It’s also perfect for developing technique. Very happy with product, delivery and price. Well done KendoStar.

Perfect! Fantastic quality and it's short enough to be used in an area with low ceilings. Perfect for strengthen your muscles I strongly recommend it!

Great! Superb quality. Super fast delivery. Only took 3-4 days to arrive. Will shop here for all my Kendo needs moving forward. Going by to keep this next to my front door... intruders beware!!!

Essential! I put off buying one of these since I had a cut-off shinai I used for home practise, but I wish I hadn't! The weight is extremely satisfying, and promotes slow, correct suburi. Takes some getting used to for sure, but I can already feel the benefits. Can't recommend enough!

Nice and heavy! Very cool stuff! Short, balanced weight, great color, perfect for indoor practice!

Absolutely fantastic! I just recieved this suburito and I just can't seem to stop using it! No problem with suburi att home anymore!

Everything Perfect Great item! Short but heavy, good for building Kendo muscles. As a beginner in Kendo, I'm practising Suburi with this compressed shinai not only at home but also at the office. Kendo is a meditation for me, and this cute thing helps me implement practice everywhere. Totally love it. In addition, the shipment was incredibly fast. It only cost 4 days from Britain to Australia. Will shop here again if I need other Kendo equipment.

Nice really nice Really good piece of kit, love it for in door training you can swing above your head without hitting the ceiling cheers kendostar

Nice but heavy Couldn't wait till it came. Wow just what I wanted. Home training is easier now without hitting the ceiling. Its heavy but brilliant.

Have to get another one! OK, so I bought this on behalf of a student, but I tried it out for one of my suburi sessions and I absolutely LOVED IT! Perfectly balanced and best of all, it's short enough to be used in an area with low ceilings! I seriously have to get myself one soon!

Beautiful The quality was immediatly apparent as soon as I opened it. I was really surprised by the level of craftsmanship. The size is perfect for indoor suburi and the weight is great for developing the necessary muscles. Highly recommended.

A great tool I have a low ceiling and I had to buy a short practice tool. This is perfect. I strongly recommend it if you have a similar restriction at home.

Functional and sexy I got one for my birthday 3 months ago, from a training point of view I really recomend it: - 1 kg but the shorter size makes it easier to handle without injuring yourself - Amazing improvement in my shinai swing, now I am able to relax my upper body easier - Great quality and aesthetics

Amazing Suburi Tool Great for indoor suburi. Quality is excellent, solid build and great weighting.

Highest Quality I had to leave a comment to say that the quality of the furisen I received is amazing. The craftsmanship is clear to see. I'm a returning customer to Kendostar, so I can say that the ordering and delivery process was flawless as usual.

Cute indeed! It's quite cute to look at, heavy (1kg, almost two shinai) but after training suburi with this for a few weeks, a normal shinai feels really light! Good for training indoors, with low ceilings.

great for practicing at home Great if you haven't got high enough ceilings to use a regular shinai. Although shorter than a normal shinai, the furisen is quite a bit heavier which will help strengthen your muscles. Good quality product and great customer service!

Äntligen!!!! Äntligen kan jag träna hugg hemma utan att göra hål i taket! En sådan borde alla ha hemma

Cute! I own both this suburi shinai and suburi bokken. I havent weight them, but when looking at spec they should both fall into the same ball park. But at least to me, suburi bokken feels heavier and i guess that is because of the length. As you can see on the picture, blade part of it is shorter, but much thicker, therefore weighs more than your normal shinai, but tsuka length is identical to it. So using it inside a apartment is nice. So no more hitting walls, making holes in them or drawing lines on the ceiling. Also worth mentioning is that leather parts on it are really good. Everything about it screams of quality and ease of use. Also it looks so cute, like cartoonish miniature shinai! I mainly keep it beside me when watching a movie to make one handed swings or when wanting to do suburi, really convenient. And did i mention that it looks so cute! Cute!!

Perfect I bought this suburi shinai for me and a friend from the dojo. We both love it. I can easly do my morning suburi the moment I get out of bed. No more suburi's in the rain for me!

useful for strength training really good for strengthening but use carefully, quite heavy so you will need to build up use.

Good design Useful for training at home

Heavy but evective I bought this „suburi (training) shinai“ to train at home, as I’m still at the beginning of my journey in kendo. I'm very pleased and satisfied with the workmanship! I hope to strengthen my tenouichi but I think for katate-suburi this shinai is to heavy...(or I’m still to weak ) All in all I would definitely buy it again and will show&tell my fellow kendoka in my dojo!

Great for strength training Its absolutely fantastic for strengthing my tenouichi, but sadly the flat I live in has a really really low ceiling, so sadly I still have to do suburi either in seiza or outside :( But it is still a fantastic product that has helped strengthen my cuts (I don't have much power behind my cuts) and due to the training with this I am far quicker too! I absolutely love it, I recommend it to anyone who has asked about strength training/how to have quicker cuts

Useful tool Weighting around 1 kg is pretty a gool tool for suburi. Some high ranked Sensei has adviced me to utilize it slowly. Very useful for indoor practicing, I would buy it again!
