SOFT BO | SOFT HANBO | SOFT BOKKEN | SOFT JO

 
Hand-made soft weapons

Hello!

We are glad you found us!

Since 2017 we are producing soft weapons under the soft-bo.com and softhanbo.eu label. These are made for Martial Arts and crafted by hand.

It started as a necessity for our own training, but quickly grew to find customers in all of Europe, even among the "great names".

 
Flexible production – custom orders

Our production is flexible,
encompassing all sizes and lenghts a weapon can conceivably have.

Our products can be incorporated into almost all Martial Arts.

 
Safety and Comfort

These two factors often collide in Katas, Randori as well as simulated combat.

We tested a lot of different products and were often disappointed.

Either they were too hard or lacked the right amount of weight to be considered authentic.

We wanted soft weapons that still could pack a punch and, more importantly, were authentic when it came to actual weight.

So we decided to build these weapons ourselves.

 
Hand-made soft weapons
aluminium cane, fiberglass or bamboo core

Asian Martial Arts uses weapons which are often made from wood and/or metal.

This leads to a certain amount of weight, which in turn affects the wielders movements during training.

Fiberglass has a significantly higher weight than bamboo or aluminum cane and is therefore much more authentic.

Aluminum cane is almost as light as bamboo and almost as strong as fiberglass.

Bamboo is a product of nature. Unfortunately, bamboo is not 100% reliable. The core can unfortunately break.
Some customers have been training with the same soft weapon for years, but for some the bamboo core broke quickly.
This is not possible with an aluminum cane core - a very good alternative.

 
And the results speak for themselves!

Especially with our Bokken or long weapons your training can greatly profit from the realistic weight.

We also enjoy whacking each other with lighter Bokken, though :-)

Randori with soft weapons greatly improves your overall performance!
