Bokken,Bokutō is an imitation Japanese sword, made of wood. It is made for practicing form (形 "Kata") in Japanese martial art (Kenjutsu "剣術") and it's also used for Kendō and Aikidō to practice repetitive, individual, cutting exercises (素振り "Suburi") and form. In Japan, Bokutō is called Bokken occasionally. There are ornamental Bokutō decorated with mother-of-pearl work and carving and also for sale

A bokken (木剣, bok(u), "wood", and ken, "sword"), is a wooden Japanese sword used for training, usually the size and shape of a katana, but sometimes shaped like other swords, such as the wakizashi and tantō. Bokken (木剣) is a term synonymous with bokutō in Japan, but is more widely used in the west. Traditionally, the character Ken (剣) is used at the beginning of a word, for terms having to do with the sword, for example in Kendō (剣道 "way of the sword") and Kenjutsu (剣術 "art of the sword"). In contrast, tō (刀) is used primarily as a suffix, for example, in shōtō (小刀, short sword) and daitō (大刀, long sword). Thus, in Japan, the word bokutō (木刀, "wood sword") is more commonly used. A bokken is used as an inexpensive and relatively safe substitute for a real sword, and is used in training for several martial arts.

Bokken are e.g. used in kendo kata, a form of training to develop technically correct movements.

In 2003, the All Japan Kendo Federation (AJKF) introduced a type of practice using bokken. Bokuto Ni Yoru Kendo Kihon-waza Keiko-ho is a set of basic exercises using a bokuto. This form of practice, is intended primarily for kendoka up to ni-dan (2), but is very useful for all kendo students.

Types of bokken
The following list is the basic styles of bokken made:

daitō or tachi (katana-sized), long sword;
shoto or kodachi or wakizashi bo, short sword, (wakizashi-sized);
tanto bo (tantō-sized); and
suburito can be made in daito and shoto sizes but are meant for solo training. They are much heavier and harder to use, developing greater muscles, increasing skills with 'normal' sized bokken. One famous user of the suburi-sized bokken is Miyamoto Musashi who used one in his duel against Sasaki Kojiro.
Bokken can be made in any style of weapon required such as nagamaki, no-dachi, yari, naginata, kama, etc. The examples above are the most widely-used.

The All Japan Kendo Federation specify the dimensions of bokken for use in kendo kata.[3]

Tachi: Total length, approx. 102 cm; tsuka (handle) approx. 24 cm.
Kodachi: Total length, approx. 55 cm; tsuka (handle) approx. 14 cm.
Additionally, various koryu (traditional Japanese martial arts) have their own distinct styles of bokken which can vary slightly in length, tip shape, or in whether or not a tsuba (hilt guard) is added.

Suburito are bokken designed for use in suburi. Suburi, literally "bare swinging," are solo cutting exercises. Suburito are thicker and heavier than normal bokken and users of suburito have to develop both strength and technique. Their weight makes them unsuitable for paired practice or kata.

The bokken is also used for self-defense as well as violent crimes. It is therefore stereotypically depicted as the weapon of choice for hoodlums in Japan such as the yankii (high school delinquents) and the bosozoku (biker gangs). These type of bokken may be decorated with gang slogans or Chinese characters

Bokutō should not be confused with shinai, a sword made of bamboo that is used for practise in kendo

Le bokken ( 木剣, littéralement sabre(剣) de bois(木)) ou Bokutō ( 木刀, nom généralement utilisé au Japon) est un sabre japonais en bois reprenant la taille et la forme du katana. Il peut être utilisé avec la garde (tsuba) qui protège les mains, ou sans la garde.

Il sert principalement à l'entraînement dans le cadre des arts martiaux (aïkido, kenjutsu, iaido, kendo, jōdō) comme remplacement à meilleur marché et moins dangereux du sabre. Historiquement, le bokken a également été utilisé dans des situations de combat. Le samouraï Miyamoto Musashi est réputé avoir longtemps utilisé le bokken comme arme de combat, en particulier lors de son duel contre Kojirō Sasaki.

Comme les katana, les bokken ont suivi leur époque, et chaque école traditionnelle historique — Tenshin Shoden Katori Shintō Ryu, Kashima Shinto Ryu, Yagyu Ryu, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu, Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu, etc — possède des caractéristiques physiques, poids, courbure, longueur, pointe, épaisseur, adaptée à la technique de cette école.
