Cold Steel Bokken Review - Strength Test!

Testing Cold Steel Bokken and doing a mini review on it to see how this polypropylene training weapon performs in my test. We will be chopping rebreakable boards that were 100% laid down on a soft bouncy surface, just to let you see what these things can do! Really, thumbs up for Cold Steel!

[@ticecreamc8788]

Awesome review!! Looks like a durable training weapon, keep up the good work 😀

[@aname7870]

just ordered a cold steal bokken so glad i did after this review.

[@chopstickthrower930]

beautiful weapon,i own one myself, id just like to point out that if you make a very small tweak to the top hand the chop will be extremely increased,just a tip

[@danielpronkin6657]

I have two of these and I have two Spartan ones from cold steel they are pretty good

[@ArtWithaGrainStudio23]

would this be able to defend against a strike from a heavy aluminium bo staff?.

[@nicholaspetre1]

Where can I get this sword on 05:51 with that hand guard that you were holding in your left hand? That one is super cool

[@FREEMAN2024y]

Thanks man!!!!🎉

[@shanealbright3068]

How tall are you just curious im trying to get a size comparison to a person

[@DefMettle]

great vid, i might get one,, love the room by the way

[@MakHobby]

DeathMetalRegulator Hahaha! Thanks!

[@Yurei_Dokuro]

En la unión ninguno tiene la cantidad de libras que realmente resiste, es como golpear una tabla en su veta más débil; habría que ver si realmente resiste y es capaz de quebrarlos a todos al realizar los golpes transversalmente, donde si mantienen las libras de resistencia.

[@freqeist]

Do review on steel small Boken

[@dedrabbit848]

do you happen to have the cold steel training staff? and if so could you possibly do a video on it? maybe not a destructive test but a little strength test?

[@MakHobby]

+Jeromy Blevins I do and have many of them, but not sure which one you are looking at?

[@MTHA-45]

Good practice weapon and would break bone no probs, never seen those boards before and curious about what material they are made from? they can take quite a beating!

[@MakHobby]

Kal El Yes I have hit those board a lot of times and they still don't break, they only snap, LOL! I guess it's made from some very hard plastic...?

[@BluFortune]

Is this the o bokken or bokken

[@JohnHadap]

Will it stand against a wooden material type of Bokken?

[@trawilliams925]

Yea it's coldsteel. It's very strong material

[@joshuajones4956]

I own that exact rebreakable board. On breaks 1-10 it is a bit tough, but after a dozen or so breaks it loses all strength. Im breaking the black one with my fingertips.

[@MakHobby]

Joshua Jones feel free to show a video of your fingertip breaking and link it here, I am sure people all wanna see that

[@SageIsHere11]

great vid :)

[@MakHobby]

Thank you!!

[@thisninja6347]

Where do you purchase the century boards ???

[@MakHobby]

+This Ninja forgot... I believe I got it from century's website, their online store

[@thisninja6347]

Okay thanks :) keep up the good vids

[@thisninja6347]

Also I've heard you mention that your a Kung fu practitioner. What style do you practice ?

[@bootlegcaesar7481]

I am doing kendo and i was told to keep the left pinky under the grip zy for reply maybe its just in kendo so...XD

[@erosasnejus2550]

+julian schanofski dude kendo seems fun but it looks so shit like i looked at pros do it and they scream at eachother for like half an hour ik why but its shit lol

[@JoshWMedia]

usually what they are screaming is calling out where they are striking to show how accurate they are.

[@BrokutheSonofSparda]

Would it be a good self defense weapon against house intruders?

[@MakHobby]

+Son of Sparda definitely can beat the shit out of them

[@Yuki_Ika7]

yes, but make sure you have enough space to swing to get a good hit

[@lordhamz7013]

I'm in training in kendo you're a good dude keep it up

[@aname7870]

if someone is watching this now does he mean u can or cant spar with these against other ones

[@benoorehek8475]

You can

[@bootlegcaesar7481]

Nice vid, but he is Holding it wrong isnt he?

[@MakHobby]

+julian schanofski no, there is nothing wrong, because I don't do Japanese style martial art. This is Chinese martial art gripping the weapon

[@justsomeguy3931]

Great review! I like that you have training models for auto-loading pistols on the table. I think too many people neglect Firearms (for various reasons), which is one of the 3 main martial arts. Brawl and Melee being the other 2. Even if you don't like guns or refuse to use them, one should know how they operate and function, the safety rules, and the basics of how to use them I would give anything to teach these Chinese security ladies about firearms (pistols/handguns in particular), because I can clearly see several ways to fix their technique from this video alone, although they are competent at Brawl and Melee as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2HSaJ-Xn8-teMk I respect people who train in all 3, and personally believe in going about it like Red Mage lol Cold Steel says these are "cut resistant." SwordBuyer'sGuide shows they are indeed (as you say) cut right through. Several other reviews show how these fare against practice swords (made blunt), and they do rather well. Sometimes they get cut into a bit and that has to be filed down. I have only seen these bokken cut when fixed in place, I think they'd take more than just 1 hit if in the hands of a person blocking with it who has some give and leverage etc, instead of holding them fixed in a vice for maximum transfer of force etc. I just wanted to put that there, since I've never seen that specific issue hashed out totally right from all angles in the dozen or so vids I've watched on this Those re-breakable training boards look awesome to, I'm adding them to the "gear to get" list. My Karate dojo never did any of that stuff. The black belts trained by hiting a makiwara (I probably spelled that wrong, apologies), which is basically just a specially cut wooden board riveted to the ground via a little stand, and with some padding at the top. The student hits the board with fist, elbow, foot, ect. Sensei stood behind the board, with his hand up in a "high five' position. Sensei would step closer or further, and the student had to hit the board hard enough to lightly touch sensei's palm - every time. I saw his best student do reverse punches into a makiwara for 5 minutes at full force, then do another 5 minutes with the other hand. We could tell it hurt. By the end, his hands had lost some skin and were a bit bloodied. There was a wooden bucket in the back with fresh salt water. He ran back, sterilized his hands, and we all resumed training. I hit the thing a bit at a gashyuku (again, probably spelled that wrong, apologies), and felt lucky to survive just a couple minutes. It was painful, but not damaging, unless I hit with full force and no regard for my own hand several times in a row. Sensei balanced the board's length, spring, and thickness of padding with almost sadistic precision lol. I think it works tho, I don't ever want to be punched by those black belts when they mean it lol If you're interested in learning how to use a pistol as a Melee weapon (say, after you take one away from an opponent, run out of ammo, get caught reloading on an empty chamber, or just don't want to shoot someone but unarmed techniques might be too risky, etc.), then this is a good start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faDSiYmai7WtgZY PS Good English to, I hear nothing wrong

[@johngrace925]

Man he is rich
