An oar shape Suburi bokken's idea is said to be derived from the fact that
the legendary master, Miyamoto Musashi shaved a wooden oar when meeting
his lifetime rival, Sasaki Kojiro at the Ganryu Island. This oar shape
style is much heavier and harder to control, it is recommended for an intermediate
and an advanced practitioners. Also great for the display.

| Bokken that are used in light contact or hard contact training applications,
such as in paired exercises, should be oiled before use in order to resist
the terminal pressures of internal stress caused by bokken hitting bokken,
bokken hitting jo, etc. To properly oil your bokken, take a fine grade
sandpaper (e.g. for removing varnish) and gently sand off the glossy finish
only. Then place the bokken in a tube that can be filled with wood oil,
or wipe the bokken with a cloth soaked in wood oil. Follow all instructions
for the wood oil you are using. Wipe off any excess oil prior to use. To
prolong the safe and long use of your wooden weapons, we suggest that one
always do the following: Oil your wooden weapons properly, inspect them
for possible fractures prior to use, do not use them to strike against
unreasonably hard surfaces, and do not keep them in temperature and/or
weather conditions that are deteriorating in nature to wood. |
