Hyoga - Dobari Jissengata Shinai [Assembled]

Tozando has teamed up with Kajitani Hyoga to create a new series of shinai expertly made for competition. This series' central axis is the unique tsuka (grip) style applied to each shinai. Unlike other shinai, this shinai uses a koban or oval grip front and a standard round back. This allows for lightning-fast strikes and easy hasuji manipulation. 

Kajitani Hyoga would know about what it takes to compete at the highest levels. Starting by winning nationals in middle school, he went on to be the national select champion twice and also the inter-high national champion, also twice! He then competed in one of Japan's highly competitive jitsugyodan or company teams. As of now, he is working as a professional kendo instructor. 

This shinai was inspired by Hyoga Kajitani himself and is the building block for power, speed, and control. Chopping away everything that is unnecessary and leaving only that which is practical for competition.
