Shinai (竹刀, しない?) is a weapon used for practice and competition in kendo and are meant to represent a Japanese sword. Shinai are also used in other martial arts, but may be styled differently from kendo shinai, and represented with different characters.

竹刀（しない）は、日本の武道である剣道の稽古および試合で防具に対して打突する竹でできた刀の代替品である。安土桃山時代に剣術の一部流派の打ち合い稽古のために袋竹刀が考案され、更に江戸時代になって防具の発達にともない割竹刀（わりじない）が考案された。稀に「ちくとう」という呼び方をする。

「しない」と言う呼び名は、「撓（しな）う」ことに由来するという説がある。これから、撓と書いて「しない」と読む事もある。全日本剣道連盟の前身は、全日本撓競技連盟という名称であった。

木刀にかわって竹刀が普及する事によって、直接打ち合える試合が可能になった。以下、本項では特に断らない限り、割竹刀について説明する。

Sizes and style of shinai vary. For example, an adult may be able to use a shinai that is too heavy for a younger person, so shinai with different sizes and characteristics are made. Shinai are available in many styles and balances. A shinai should not be confused with a bokutō, which has a much more similar shape and length to a Japanese sword and is made from a single piece of wood. However, both shinai and bokken are used in kendo.

The slats of a shinai are usually made from dried bamboo. Some may also be treated by smoking them, or soaking them in resin. Shinai slats are also made of carbon fibre, reinforced resin, or other approved alternative materials.

The shinai comprises four slats たけ (竹?, take), which are held together by three leather fittings: a hilt, or handle fitting つかがわ (柄皮?, tsuka-gawa), a fitting at the tip さきがわ (先皮?, saki-gawa) and a leather strip なかゆい (中結?, nakayui) that binds the four slats. All are secured with a string つる (弦?, tsuru).

The nakayui is tied about one-third of the length of the exposed bamboo from the tip . This holds the slats together and also marks the proper kendo striking portion of the shinai, or datotsu-bu (打突部, だとつぶ?).

Inserted between the ends of the slats, under the saki-gawa, is a plastic plug さきごむ (先ゴム?, saki-gomu), and under the tsuka-gawa there is a small square of metal (ちぎり?, chigiri), that holds the slats in place.

A hand-guard つば (鍔?, tsuba) is then fitted at the point where the tsuka-gawa ends and the bamboo slats begin. This is held in place by a rubber ring つばどめ (鍔止め?, tsuba-dome).

The word "shinai" is derived from the verb shinau (撓う, しなう?), meaning "to bend, to flex", and was originally short for shinai-take (flexible bamboo). Shinai is written with the kanji 竹刀, meaning "bamboo sword", and is an irregular kanji reading.

In kendo, it is most common to use a single shinai, sometimes called itto style. Some kendoka choose to use two shinai. This kendo style is usually called ni-tō (二刀, にとう?), a style that has its roots in the two-sword schools of swordsmanship such as Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū. A ni-to combatant uses a long shinai called the daitō (大刀, だいとう?), which is usually held in the left hand, and a shorter shinai, called the shōtō (小刀, しょうとう?), which is usually held in the right hand. The daitō may be slightly shorter and lighter than a shinai used in the itto style of kendo. Specifications for shinai used in kendo competitions that follow the International Kendo Federation (FIK) rules, are below.

there are lots of specifications from 52CM to 39AAA, good weight and good gravity center, it is so strong as to fight each other and not easy to be broken.
