## Description

The best of the world's martial artists have known a simple truth for ages... if you want to become reasonably good at wielding a Fighting implement, you should endeavor to learn the best Fighting techniques, footwork, and the basic stances. However if you want to be a master at it you will have to eventually start training with a "live weapon". if, for example, your ultimate goal is to wield a razor sharp sword safely and effectively, you need to train with a sword that approximates the size, feel and heft of a live blade, yet minimizes the possibility of causing grievous, permanent, or life threatening injury to yourself or your training partner. This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their gladiators and soldiers.And Japanese samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a bokken. It's an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that a wooden training weapon can Rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless. Cold Steel solution to these dilemmas was to design a line of synthetic substitutes, that are low in price and impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of training weapons are made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate their Real counterparts in length, size and feel. While they're not quite as rigid as wood, they have the winning advantages of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant. Features: - impervious to the elements - made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available - duplicate their Real counterparts in length, size and feel - virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant. Specifications: - overall length: 31" - blade length: 22" - weight: 24 oz. - thickness: 3/4"

Review: Great for training to get the feel of such a weapon and how to move, hold, maneuver it, etc. - Was perfect for my martial arts weapons training. Sturdy, well made, nicely weighted. My nunchaku movements and practice routines fit well into the use of this sword trainer. As a career soldier, I have always studied history and military history, weapons, tactics, training, etc., and the Roman era has fascinated me the most over the years. So I thought I would see how the various weapons techniques and movements would translate into other weapons or hand-to-hand warfare, such as the Roman "broadsword."
Review: Stout - awesome - cool - This Gladius is a "Training" sword. The sword is good looking, very thick and heavy. The size is just right as a representation of this type of weapon. For me it will mostly hang on a wall as a backdrop for videos related to my book Gladiator School; for that purpose this sword is perfect. I may actually take it with me to speaking engagements. No worrying that someone may accidentally cut themselves. Love this and based on the quality and heavy feel of this I am likely going to by more products from Cold Steel, like the shield and a dagger. Perhaps another sword and a spear too. It got here in a day and a a half! Yes, I'm pleased!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does it say cold steel if its plastic?**
A: It's made by the company Cold Steel.

**Q: How durable is this blade**
A: It's quite durable. If you manage to bend it, you will have to bend it back into shape though.

**Q: How long is the blade**
A: the blade itself is 22.5 inches from tip to cross piece and the handle is 9 inches long so if you can't do math then the whole thing is 31 and a half inches long in total

**Q: when i practice what is a good set of protective padded armor i can wear to minimize bruising?**
A: I would highly  recommend  a good set of gloves with rubber or ceramic  knuckle  pads.  I took a lot more hits to the hand than the body

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite training tools. Nerdy but WORTH IT.
*by N***Y on March 12, 2025*

Slightly larger than actual scale, at only a pound and a half... so not historically accurate... if what you want is a real and authentic gladius. But, it's also made of black polypro, so... be advised. Similarly, if you are looking for a whack away at each other sword, NONE of the black polypro swords meant for that. They will chip and break. They can also break bones and fracture headbones if used for violence, SO DO NOT. THESE ARE FOR TRAINING MUSCLES TO MAKE PRECISE MOVEMENTS WITH A SWORD. ONLY. Specifically, this gladius can be used to train several styles, including saber fighting and some fencing styles (not Olympic), medieval and Renaissance styles, all the gladiatorial and roman military styles that used it, and several Asian and South east Asian styles. Also replaces a viking sword and an Irish sword, for the purpose of training the style... imperfectly, but good enough to work out. It is NOT good for anything Katana, medieval long bladed hand and a half, and (as mentioned earlier) Olympic-scored fencing training. At all. To practice nearly every style of knife and sword work, a well-rounded blades person needs three practice swords: gladius, medieval hand and a half, and katana... and two practice karambit knives. Buying more style blades is AWESOME and an excellent idea, if you want specific honed skills at a particular style with a particular style blade... but these polypro knives are really only good at developing muscles for blade work, NOT for honing precise skills. To do that? You must eventually work with heavy wooden bokkens, to build skill, and then real steel to get precision. These replace light handweights and PVC tubes filled with H2O to build muscle. I cannot recommend enough for that purpose.
