Red Oak Round Tonfa - Used

Thank you for viewing.
This is a listing for a used pair of red oak round tonfa.
I purchased them during my student days influenced by manga, but never really used them and kept them in storage. Please check the photos for their condition.
There are no major chips, cracks, or wobbling.
Material: Red Oak
Size: Approximately 44cm
Shape: Round
Excellent in weight and strength, perfect for Karate, Ryukyu Kobudo, and Chinese martial arts practice.
Sold as a pair (left and right), allowing for offense-and-defense integrated training by holding one in each hand.
As these are natural wood products, the weight, color, and wood grain patterns will vary from one piece to another.
Tonfa are traditional weapons used in Ryukyu Kobudo and Karate, with theories suggesting their origin from the handles of millstones or the spatulas of farming tools. They enable offense and defense through a variety of movements, and require actions such as swinging, thrusting, and sweeping, leading to skill improvement through training. They are weapons recognized for their practicality and multifunctionality, even officially adopted by police forces worldwide, possessing a structure suitable for defense and control.
In the United States, the side-handle baton was introduced as police equipment in 1972, with a design particularly known as the PR-24 becoming widespread. This shape has a structure excellent for defense, allowing blocks against attacks by aligning it with the arm, and also enabling control of the opponent's wrists and arms. Thus, tonfa are not just striking weapons but multifunctional tools that can aid in defense and crowd control with training.
For shipping, they will be carefully wrapped with cushioning material, protected from water and damage, and sent in a cardboard box suitable for 80-100 size shipping via Mercari's anonymous delivery service.
Immediate purchase is welcome.
