Is 10 too young to get my child his first katana? Maybe a wakizashi or is that going to ingrain bad reflexes in them once they finally get a full blade? (hexbear.net)

I get my friends kid's swords as baby shower presents.

If you follow my posting you know I'm not joking.

That said, idk what you start kids off with for katana but I imagine there are junior sized bokken and shinai out there.

If you've got the scratch you can get the kid a set of these. They're absurdly high-tech artisan produced foam swords. They'll probably last for at least a year, likely longer. Gorg makes solid kit.
