otaku gear35" Padded Foam Bokken Samurai Sword for Practice, Sparring, Cosplay, or Prop for Special Events

Used for play fighting with son. They're toddler proof.

Bought for my kids. They have so much fun.

LightFun to useVery durable

the text says 'set' and pictures 2 foam swords, either they forgot the second sword or the text and pictures are misleading at best. But, there was only one foam sword in the box.

They're very fun before they break but whoever said that they are capable of swinging full force and not hurting the equipment (aka the swords) and that they are for sparring must've never held a sword before because after one sword fight with a buddy of mine they broke immediately. Their internal structure is a hollow, weak, plastic pipe that bends very easily and does not last very long after its been bent. I would recommend them if it's for 5-7 year olds, maybe, but definitely not if you want something that you can actually enjoy for more than about 2-3 minutes

Practicing with two broom sticks

These are very durable however after doing some research, they are VERY expensive buying from this company. They are weighted to help strengthen your wrist and forearms.
