Title: No good for Kendo
Product review: I purchased this set of shinai based on price, and that was my first mistake. They are made in China, with all the poor craftsmanship that this normally entails. During my first kendo practice using one of these shinai, one of the take (bamboo slats) broke within the first hour of use. They are not strong enough for kendo and may cause injury due to their weakness. Possibly useful for LARP or cosplay, but not martial arts.
