Cold Steel GLADIUS TRAINER Practice Sword

Description

Martial arts masters have known one simple truth for centuries. If your ultimate goal is to handle a sharp blade safely and effectively, you must supplement your training with a tool that closely approximates the size, feel, and weight of the blade, but minimizes the risk of causing serious, permanent injury to yourself or your training partner. This concept has been adopted by many cultures, including the ancient Romans, who used wooden swords to train their gladiators. The only problem was that wooden training tools can rot, crack, split, or splinter and cannot be used in all weather conditions. Cold Steel’s solution to these challenges was to create a line of synthetic polymer substitutes. Inexpensive and unaffected by anything except the most extreme temperatures, they are waterproof, weather-resistant, and surprisingly durable. This sturdy polypropylene Gladius Trainer is the ideal practical sword for reenactors of the Roman period.
