Description
Although not conventionally used in Aikido, the Hanbo is perfect for shomen or yokomen training strikes from a mid-distance; and is therefore, widely used in self-defence Aikido classes. The Hanbo can be held at one end and swung like a katana or kendo sword. Additionally, it can be held in the middle like a staff to strike and block from either end. A smooth, lightweight and durable wood, measuring 100cm in length and is the same 2.5cm diameter thickness throughout the length of the staff. Red: 310g. White: 485g. Easy to wipe clean before and after use.
