Product Description

Cold Steel Gladius Trainer

The best martial artists in the world have known a basic truth for years. If you want to be fairly good at wielding a combat appliance, you can try to learn the best tactics with Cold steel blade recon 1, footwork, and basic positions of fighting. But you will finally have to start practicing with a "live weapon" if you want to be a master at it. Videlicet, if your ultimate objective is to safely and effectively handle a razor sharp sword (cold steel edge), you need to practice with a sword that approximates the size, feel, and heft of a live blade, but minimizes yourself or your training partner's likelihood of causing severe, permanent, or life-threatening injury. The ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their gladiators and warriors, invented this idea. And the Japanese samurai used a wooden training sword called a bokken. It is an elegant solution to a vexing problem and is sufficiently efficient to continue to be used today. The only issue is that a wooden training weapon can become useless and can rust, crack, chip or break and ultimately become useless. The solution of Cold Steel (recon 1) to these dilemmas was to create a line of synthetic replacements that were low in price and impervious to the components. The Cold Steel line of training arms is made of the heaviest polypropylene available and closely duplicates the scope, size and feel of their actual counterparts. Although they are not as rigid as wood, they have the winning benefits of being nearly unbreakable, amazingly stiff and resistant to cutting. Features: - impervious to the elements - made of the highest available polypropylene grade - duplicate the length, size and feel of their actual counterparts - nearly unbreakable, incredibly stiff and cut-resistant.
