Gladius, training sword made of polypropylene


Martial artists have known this simple wisdom for centuries: if your goal is to wield a sharp blade
To safely and effectively practice, you should first practice with a tool that is roughly the size, weight, and feel of a real weapon, but has the advantage of being difficult to seriously injure yourself or your training partner. This idea has been practiced by many cultures, including the ancient Romans, who used wooden swords to train their gladiators in sword fighting. The only disadvantage was that training instruments made of wood could naturally rot, crack, splinter, or chip, and they couldn't be used in all weather conditions.

Cold Steel's solution was to develop a suitable replacement made from synthetic polymer. The products in this collection are economical and virtually impervious to extreme temperatures. They are waterproof, weatherproof, and surprisingly durable.

This extremely robust training gladius made of polypropylene is an ideal training sword for artists of the Roman era.
