We love the Cold Steel practice swords.

Please understand. 
Not everyone can handle the responsibility of a practice sword. 
These are meant as real trainers. Use discretion!

If my husband wasn’t such a Godly man who instills self-control and safety in our boys I would never have been OK advancing past the nerf weapons!

Our boys love these training swords:

  • Hand & a Half
  • Training dagger
  • Gladius
  • Chinese Martial Arts Blade

Not quite ready for trainer swords?

Nerf swords are a fun place to begin!

    You are so right in that our boys need these “toys” as they grow up. My son would turn every stick he found into a gun or sword. We had many a long rifle like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. Now at 14 he and his dad have designed their own blow guns and have competitions with their latest design in darts.

    […] Moms, you cannot take the warrior out of your sons. Embrace that. There is something primal and beautiful about a strong man with a sword or bow. Think Joshua (Biblical), William Wallace (Braveheart), Legolas (Lord of the Rings). I want my sons to be like them. Don’t you? Are you ready to join me as a mom of sword-wielding, arrow shooting, and courageous sons? Here is how you begin. Click here. […]
