{"product_id":"7973","title":"Cold Steel Gladius Training Sword","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their Gladiators and soldiers. And Japanese Samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a Bokken. It's an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of Training Weapons are made of heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real sword in length, size, weight and feel. While they're not quite as rigid as wood, they have the winning advantages of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWeight 13.3oz 0.38kg\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBlade Length 22\" 55.9cm\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMaterial Polyproplyene\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Playwell","offers":[{"title":"Cold Steel Gladius Training Sword","offer_id":52772672045402,"sku":"gladiustrainer","price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/martialartlife.myshopify.com\/products\/7973","provider":"Martial Life","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
