taken care of or else it will pose a danger to both you and your opponent. The shinai must be checked for splinters and oiled regularly. This helps keep the shinai from breaking and sending razor sharp shrapnel into you and your opponents faces.

The shinai's string must also be kept tight. This is to keep the top from slipping off and making the shinai go through your opponents men.
