Shinai KABUTOWARI 39 - Dobari Men's

Are you looking for a shinai for a fast, aggressive fighting style? Then the KABUTOWARI – Dobari shinai from Kendo24 is exactly the right choice. This premium shinai is designed for kendōka who clearly prioritise speed, pressure and control in shiai.

Precise handling for aggressive techniques

The KABUTOWARI is designed as a classic Dobari shinai. The centre of gravity is closer to the grip, resulting in a noticeably lighter swing. This allows techniques to be executed more quickly and transitions between individual movements to be particularly fluid.

Its high manoeuvrability makes this shinai ideal for kendōka who wish to keep their opponents under constant pressure. The KABUTOWARI really comes into its own during fast combinations, direct counter-techniques and dynamic actions at close range.

Balance & Handling

The Dobari shape shifts the centre of gravity closer to the hand and reduces the moment of inertia during the swing. The result is a very light, responsive shinai that supports rapid sequences of techniques and aggressive attacking sequences.

Even during longer training sessions, the balanced construction helps to reduce fatigue – whilst maintaining excellent control over the kensen. This allows you to pick up the pace without losing precision.

🛡️ SSP-certified – Tested safety from Japan
