Swordfodder brand cutting targets are a patented synthetic material designed to provide consistent and useful feedback for martial arts enthusiasts in the practice of sword cutting, or tameshigiri. The practice of sword cutting has been used traditionally in both Western and Asian martial arts as a method of determining the quality of the weapon, as well as that of the swordsman. Sword cutting in more recent days has been used as a means to demonstrate proper technique and power generation, and as a learning tool for determining flaws in individual performance during the practice of martial arts. Our staff is made up of experienced swordsmen and women from a wide variety of sword and knife based arts, which allows us to ensure that we provide the martial arts community with the best, more effective cutting material we can available.

Our company prides itself on providing three important services to the sword community:

1. Our targets are designed to be easy to use, with minimal setup or preparation, so that you can work on your cutting form whenever it suits your needs.

2. Swordfodder targets are safe for your swords- without the chance of breakage or bending experienced with other cutting surfaces while still providing excellent feedback and information about your cutting performance.

3. Swordfodder targets are safe for the environment, being completely biodegradable, and without any smell or messy clean up.

As well as 100% customer satisfaction and service.

These services are why we say Swordfodder is “a cleaner, easier to use, synthetic alternative to traditional tatami omote“, and we hope you will too!
