I would say no... It's not full tanged but if your looking to do some type of martial arts using weapons I would suggest cold Steel Kahana practice

Yea if your only swinging it around in the air. But you want to hit something like a dummy or whatnot no

Owning this blade i do not believe that it would break in a sword fight but i would be wary of using this blade because its extremely sharp.

Yeah the whole thing feels sturdy, id rather not choose this sword for cutting just cause im not too sure about the curves on it, I had to re-wrap the hilt just cause the leather wasn't glued on very well. It weighs about 4 lbs so it is plenty sturdy enouch to chop through things. I recommend if you were to chop anything, sharpen it first so it puts less stress on the blade.

No the sheath that came with the sword is cheap and usless. I suggest either reinforce the sheath with better threads or make a sheath of your own

This sword is a good sword for display purposes, but do NOT go and try to take on the spartan empire with it. This sword is not at all something that should be used for fighting but it is wonderful to hang on your wall. I tried fighting my brother with my other sword and the thing inside the handle snapped and all the handle pieces came off as well as the pommel. So if you ask me for a straight answer, I would say not really.

I bought my sword from qswords. I'm happy with it. I think it is a rather well made sword.

The sword is a rat tail tang. Definitely not " battle ready ". I wouldn't even do solo practices with this for fear that the tang will break. It's a wall hanger - a beautiful one though.

It is a prop sword. It isn't very sharp at all. It is definitely not considered a weapon as it is meant for display purposes only

This sword is pretty hardie. I am not sure about contact fighting, and be careful, you can stick someone very easyle .

It's not sharp due to AMC right's and most ppl that will buy it know nothing of swords.. Full tang is a yes, this is a full tang battle ready katana. Once sharp if you want to sharpen it, it can kill So becarful

Well I use it more for display, but it is pretty heavy and sturdy and sharp at the end. My guess would be if you are very careful it wouldn't break. I saw a video of someone using the sword to chop a wooden beam in half, but then again it is a cosplaying sword

The sword certainly seems sturdy enough to withstand fencing but I do not think it was designed for protracted use as an actual weapon. I myself would hesitate to use it with abandon that is in the excitement of a match you might start hacking with it. No good could come of that although you would probably win the match! If the the sword fight wod be like those intense but elegant fights in Errol Flynn's movies, I'm sure the sword would be just excellent!

Nope. This was not a good quality sword. I bought four, and they weren't even the same length. There isn't anything for the belt to catch on. I would go with a higher quality.

No.This knife roll is best suited for small to medium knives. If you need a sword bag look for one specifiably for martial arts gear.

Yes the sword is very sturdy, I love it. And you can swing it but it weighs a good amount so I wouldn't use one hand but you can swing it perfectly fine.
