Martial artists have known this simple wisdom for centuries: if your goal is to wield a razor-sharp blade safely and effectively, you should first practice with a tool that has roughly the size, weight and feel of a real weapon, but has the advantage that it is difficult to seriously injure yourself or your training partner. This idea has been practiced by many cultures, including the ancient Romans, who used wooden swords to train their gladiators in sword fighting. The only disadvantage was that wooden training instruments could naturally rot, crack, chip or splinter and were not suitable for use in all weathers.
Cold Steel's solution was to develop an adequate replacement made of synthetic polymer. The products in this collection are inexpensive and virtually impervious to extreme temperatures. They are waterproof, weatherproof and amazingly durable.
This extremely robust training gladius made of polypropylene is an ideal training sword for performers of the Roman era.

- Ich bin beeindruckt. Ich habe es als Geschenk gekauft und es hält immernoch. Mein Kollege leider ist nicht so vorsichtig wie ich mit seiner Waffe und nutzt es nicht nur zum kämpfen aber die Waffe hält immernoch ganz gut und sieht nicht so aus als ob es bald brechen würde. Und wir trainieren eigentlich tag täglich 2-3 Stunden lang. Nur die Kante der Klinge ist stumpfer geworden, aber mit der Art der Nutzung ist es keine große Schwäche.
