Tanbo Shinai

Equivalent to the Tanbo (short wooden stick) for Taihojutsu, the Tanbo Shinai has the typical manufacturing of fukuroshinai, with loosely tied bamboo slats and covered with canvas, (a rigid linen-cotton fabric), reinforced with piece of synthetic leather. It allows more intense training than with a weapon made of wood. A better shock absorption also means a much greater impact resistance. Its weight is slightly higher than a classic wooden tanbo.

This type of weapon will allow working on shomen and yokomen strikes at mid-distance.
