AMERICAN JUKENJUTSU: Equipment Suppliers

These equipment manufacturers are listed for members' convenience.  We do not endorse specific suppliers, but those we list we believe provide quality equipment suitable for jukenjutsu or jukendo use with appropriate training and supervision.  Note that all these weapons are relatively rigid and that direct hits, even with a padded tip and the relatively lighter weight of the wooden weapon, convey considerable force, with the potential for significant injury, to the individual hit.  

Purpleheart Armory manufactures a Wooden Bayonet/Juken/Mokuju sized to represent the M-16 with bayonet fixed, 46 inches long.  This training weapon is used in military training, and Purpleheart Armory makes strong, durable wooden weapons.

Bokkenshop.Com has a variety of wooden weapons for use in Jukendo in different styles and of different woods.  They ship directly from Japan.
