Suburi Bokken With Groove (Red) March 8, 2014 Reviewer: Don Arkangel from Fairburn, GA United States   Very well made bokken. If you want the sound effects you'll need a fast swing. Be careful of overbalancing from the additional weight. One heck of a workout! Was this review helpful to you?

Custom quality bokken October 5, 2009 Reviewer: Charles Garvin from St. Louis, MO United States   I do Western and Eastern sword forms and usually have my wasters and bokken custom made by Little Raven Studios, however, this bokken surprised me. It is very high quality red oak with 1/2 inch soku and straight, true lines. The weight corresponds very well with a  katana. The sword feels tough enough to fence with. Very impressed.

Outstanding Suburi Bokuto May 1, 2009 Reviewer: Juan De Leon Jr from McAllen, TX United States   This is a very well made suburi bokuto.  It is very well balanced.  I am an Eishin Ryu Iaido student, and my Sensei is very particular on our execution of nukitsuke (horizontal strike), and kirioroshi (vertical strike and final blow).   With the aid of the groove, it is very helpful to hear if I am doing my strikes/cuts correctly.  It is also one hell of a workout.   Once I'm done warming up with it, my iaito feels very light and I can execute my kata with precision. I highly recommend this suburi bokuto. Was this review helpful to you?

ignore the 'carpentry' dude's comments July 23, 2008 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Louisville, CO United States   This isn't intended for 'full contact' whatever that means... it's just for suburi. For this purpose, this thing is great. The groove is supposed to create a whistling noise giving you feedback on the speed and acceleration you achieve. Total workout. 100 suburi with this and your 500 g shinai feels like a toy... Anyhow, LARPers (live action role players) this probably isn't for you. Was this review helpful to you?

Impressive masterpiece April 27, 2006 Reviewer: Hoek Hans from Oranjestad, Aruba   Finally it arrived and what a beauty... Doing suburi with this bokuto is something else than swinging a normal bokken! You just have to hear the wood make sound. And the funny thing is, your circulation starts pumping after several suburi's giving that pumpy feeling. I must advise, not for kids... It's quite a workout for the shoulders and biceps. In our dojo we do 1000 suburi with a shinai, don't even think you can do it with this one. Well done e-bogu, I'll let you know if I can do a 1000 suburi's! Was this review helpful to you?
