Jukendo/Jukenjutsu Shiai Mokuju [Bayonet]

Manufactured in Japan in one of the last 3 workshops, this Japanese oak Mokujo is particularly used for the practice of Jukendo / Jukenjutsu. This model is homologate for the Jukendo competition and comes with its Sakigawa (rubber tip).This models has small grooves on the sides, purely for aesthetics.

The competition model is lighter than the "Kata" model, and despite a very slightly lower resistance in comparison to white oak, the red oak is also a little lighter, and therefore quite popular, especially for women. Of course, for children, we definitely recommend red oak. For men, The All Japan Jukendo Federation International Department recommends the Kata model.

The Mokuju also exits in the practice of Aikido, as it was one of the first fighting arts studied by the founder Morihei Ueshiba, an art in which he was famous for exceptional mastery. It has been said that most of the Jo techniques stem from the Jukenjutsu and Sojutsu (art of the spear) and actually not from Jodo / Jojutsu.

For proper Jukendo practice, the 4.5 shaku length is meant for Kids, while the 5.5 shaku is for adults. However, the shorter 4.5 shaku is sometimes used by adults outside of Jukendo practice (Aikido for example).

For now, the engraving module for the Mokuju is associated with that of the Bokken.
An engraving on the Tsuka/handle corresponds to an engraving on the stock/butt, an engraving on the bottom of the blade to an engraving on the section connecting the stock with the stick, and the engraving on the centre of the blade to an engraving of the centre of the stick.

You will find a Cotton Mokuju bag in the wooden weapon carry bags section.
