Prolong Shinai Life - Shinai care - disassemble, flip-it, and reassemble it. How to tie nakayui etc.

https://www.shinaimall.com

This is our very first youtube video, and it is made for beginners as well as established kendokas. How to prolong the life of your shinai. Shinai care is important to regularly check for splinters and cracks, and it is always a good idea to flip the shinai around once in a while to use both sides of the shinai to distribute damage build up on the bamboo slats. To do so, we need to untie the shinai, and reassemble it. This video is made in attempt to make it easy to follow. Please do forgive us for the rough editing and camera angles. We will continue to work on the quality of our videos for your pleasant viewing. Please help us stay engaged and committed by subscribing and following our channel!
