Iaito lengths

What is the right length for my Iaito?

Both a centreboard that is too short and one that is too long will hinder or prevent correct movements. We therefore recommend the following sword lengths as the maximum length.

Experience has shown that a size smaller is optimal for most people, as the table is designed for more advanced exercisers, for whom the pulling movement is slightly different than for less advanced users.

There is an extra column in the table for women. As the belt is traditionally worn higher on women than on men, it makes sense to use a different sword length.

The recommended measurement corresponds to the Japanese way of measuring. This means nagasa from munemachi (edge of the blade on the habaki) to the end of the tip.

In addition to our recommendation, there are also differences in the individual styles. That's why we always recommend asking your local sensei. As you can see, the optimum length can be a very individual issue. However, the table should help with orientation.

Body size Nagasa for men Nagasa for women Nagasa for novices
155 cm 2.35 Shaku (71.2cm) 2.25 Shaku (68.2cm) 1 small each
160 cm 2.40 Shaku (72.7cm) 2.30 Shaku (69.7cm) 1 small each
165 cm 2.45 Shaku (74.2cm) 2.35 Shaku (71.2cm) 1 small each
170 cm 2.50 Shaku (75.8cm) 2.40 Shaku (72.7cm) 1 small each
175 cm 2.55 Shaku (77.3cm) 2.45 Shaku (74.2cm) 1 small each
180 cm 2.60 Shaku (78.8cm) 2.50 Shaku (75.8cm) 1 small each
185 cm 2.65 Shaku (80.3cm) 2.55 Shaku (77.3cm) 1 small each

Our Sayagata is a inexpensive Iaito with special charisma. It is one of the most popular training swords in our beginner class.

Despite the favourable price, we have the same high-quality blades fitted on this model as on the more expensive Iaito! You also receive extensive warranty services from us (see below).

You can order this Iaito from us with a Blade length from 2.20 - 2.45 Shaku buy. In this area, the sizes 2.2, 2.25, 2.3, 2.35, 2.4 and 2.45 Shaku are available in individual steps. When purchasing, it makes sense to ensure that the blade length is in line with your own body proportions. Under the "Add to basket" button you will find a table with the sizes that, in our experience, fit our Iaito.

With a length of 2.45 Shaku, the weight is only approx. 780g. This is made possible by the lightweight blade made of a zinc-aluminium alloy. This material is the standard for blunt training swords in Japan and also complies with the local weapons laws.

The blunt blades allow comparatively safe training. This is important for the martial art of Iaido. However, Iaito is also used for training in numerous other martial arts, such as Koryu or the original Kendo. Iai was and is also practised with the appropriate swords in these martial arts.

The handle (Tsuka) has a handle length of 25.8cm. It has a slimming curve, which means that the Iaito fits well in the hand for all hand sizes. The winding is made of Japanese black cotton tsuka. The inlays on the handle are genuine seeds.

Menuki as well as Fuchi and Kashira show bamboo motifs. The stitch plate (Tsuba) shows the Sayagata pattern. An eternally continuous concatenation of nested lines. A good analogy to the eternal learning process in training.

The Scabbard bei diesem Modell ist in Kuroishime (schwarz matt).
The sageo band on the sword scabbard (saya) is made of black cotton.

Should the saya wear out or be damaged during training, we will not let you down with your sword. We guarantee the availability of replacement material for 10 years from the date of purchase.

Compared to Iaito on the international market, this model is similar in design and quality to the well-known Tozando Iaito.
