Tapered Hardwood Bo
A. Hey Jimmy - tapered bos are generally considered better for spinning. The taper makes the ends light and places the center of gravity more dominantly in the middle. Non-tapered bos are considered better for application and bunkai (meaning they can take better beatings because they are thicker). Of course, that is also relevant to wood type. If you want something specific for competitions, taper might be the way to go. If you intend to pursue bunkai and kobudo kumite, go with non-taper.

Rubber Foam Tonfa
A. This comes in a pair (two)

Fighting Bo
A. Hey Money - this bo is designed for performance and practice. Ash is a light wood and the taper makes it even lighter. However, this bo will not stand up to repeated abuse through hard contact. You could use it for protection, but it is not ideal for that.

Both Shirasaya and traditional katana at this price point are for display purposes only. That being the case, neither would be able to withstand significant abuse. They are best used for display or practice cuts in the air. If you are looking for a sword that can withstand cutting and blocking, you'll have to invest a bit more financially. Those higher quality swords are made of more durable metal and contain a tang that extends all the way down into the tsuka (handle). When made for cutting, both Shirasaya swords and traditional katana are roughly the same in durability, although the traditional katana contains a tsuba, which is a handguard.

KD Elite means Value. Get more than you expect with KD Elite martial arts equipment. Our student uniforms are just a bit heavier, our judo gis are stitched perfectly, and our shields take more punishment. Products that last - KD Elite.
