How adorable! Shinai are lighter and harder hitting than our weapons and generally don't outlast a good Bel stick used at the same level. *shruuuug*
Texas is full of awesome foamfighters.

"Adorable"
whatever kid.
Yes they are lighter...only an asshat doesn't add weight to a shinai. If you don't do this they are pointless as a weapon simulator.
Harder hitting is better and they last just fine...mine survive two sessions a week plus multiple national competitions means they last roughly a year...which ain't bad.

Dang, *, ain't this the Bel boards? I thought we could still take sarcasm around here.
PS: Yeah, this is a foamfighting sport's boards; we're naturally predisposed to like foam best.
