Review: A Tough Workout for Shoulders - First, I am not a regular fitness buff, but I do have an interest in martial arts, and have some experience with swords. I have the natural wood hardwood daito bought from desertcart some time ago, which is a great and very well-balanced practice sword for the price. This book is aimed at the workout crowd and not the martial artist, but I think that for anyone desiring some basic skills and forms on Japanese sword technique would like this book. The book is split up into basic exercises, more advanced exercies, and some forms, or routines which combine exercises together. The exercises are clearly explained with good pictures, although I could have wished for a little more detail on technique. There is a background explanation for swordwork at the beginning of the book, as well as workout hints and tips to begin a practice of the sword. The author clearly has training in formal martial arts, but does not go over the head of the beginner. The day I got the book, I tried out the basic and advanced exercises. I only worked out about 10 minutes. I then had to take a few days off as my shoulders were so sore I could hardly lift them, even though I only practiced a few minutes. After having practiced the exercises as well as several of the routines, I am beginning to see a change in my shoulders. I also tend to lose track of the time when I get a hold of that sword and go through the workout. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in martial arts, swords, or simply firming up their arms and shoulders.

Whereas in a book, the picture and description are on the same page so that you can refer to the picture while reading the text, in the electronic it did not. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Broaden Your Fitness Routine *by C***I on 7 August 2006* This book is not about self-defense. It won't teach you how to take out the thugs in the next block. Nor is it designed to give you martial arts training. What this book does is give you another option to add to your fitness routine. If you're getting bored with the normal routine of weight training, running, aerobics, cycling, and swimming, then this book is for you. What it will do is add to your routine. It will broaden your fitness program. Just like swimming, cycling, and running, with Forza, you determine the intensity of your workout. I expect it will also tone your arms and shoulders. I tried the exercises in the book and I broke out sweating within fifteen minutes. And I have been lifting weights and doing cardio for ten years! I'm in good shape already. The sword that was light during the first fifteen minutes will start to make its presence known at this point. At this stage, I am far from graceful. My "cuts" are not yet precise and not yet smooth. But I'm having fun with the routines. I do not own a live blade. What I use is a heavy, plastic Bokken, which is designed to take the place of a Katana during practice. The weight is supposed to also duplicate that of a real blade. In any case, my shoulders and forearms were sore for the next couple of days after my first workout. When lifting weights, I wear gloves designed for the purpose. When doing Forza, I use my golf glove. I bought another golf glove for the other hand so both hands will be covered! I find the soft, conforming leather of the golf gloves give me a better feel of the sword/bokken compared to weight-training gloves. I really recommend that you use gloves to avoid blisters and calluses. Atleast at the beginning. My Bokken does not have a leather grip. The gloves not only protect my hands, but they also keep the sword from slipping through my sweaty fingers. I also think you will have more fun using a Bokken than you would using say, a broomstick. This is a very refreshing approach to fitness. If you do it with enough intensity it will give you a very good workout. You probably won't stop there though. I suspect you would also want to work on your smoothness and gracefulness. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to add another activity to their workout routine. Forza is different, fun, and challenging to do gracefully. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/79112097-forza-the-samurai-sword-workout-kick-butt-and-get-buff](https://www.desertcart.at/products/79112097-forza-the-samurai-sword-workout-kick-butt-and-get-buff) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
