Sports Chanbara

Sports Chanbara is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport in which participants spar with lightweight, padded foam swords and other weapons designed to allow full-contact hits without injury. Developed in Japan in the 1970s, it combines elements of kendo and other sword arts but emphasizes safety and accessibility, making it practiced by people of all ages, including children. Matches are scored based on clean hits to permitted target areas, and it appeals to those wanting a low-barrier, playful entry into sword-based sparring.
