In Bokken, Dave Lowry explores how training with a bokken, or "wooden sword," can be used to enhance the minds and bodies of martial arts students. He delves into not only the nature of the bokken, but also the nature of budo and bujutsu in general. Bokken: Art of the Japanese Sword does not present training in a classical ryu of swordsmanship as much as it offers readers general exercises that aim at a coordination of mind, body, and weapon.
