Crew served weapons, like a mortar or heavy machine gun, are much safer for small children to operate.
you waited until age 10?! you might as well send them off to be a pacifist monk!
yes.
Give him a Real Longsword , not this Japano Dork shit. Or at least take an actually exotic weapon,
Aztec Glas Blade or something…
A chakram, and sign them for ultimate Frisbee lessons.
Probably best to start em with a wakazashi and just make sure their bushido fundamentals are up to snuff.
There’s plenty more to the blade than the blade itself.
Hmm, what’s his kenjutsu level? Anything below second kyu and he should still be using a wooden bokken.
I get my friends kid’s swords as baby shower presents.
If you follow my posting you know I’m not joking.
That said, idk what you start kids off with for katana but I imagine there are junior sized bokken and shinai out there.

If you’ve got the scratch you can get the kid a set of these. They’re absurdly high-tech artisan produced foam swords. They’ll probably last for at least a year, likely longer. Gorg makes solid kit.
Katana?! Unless based off Japan, people are gonna be generally wearing chainmail or plated armour, you’d be much better off with polearms imo
When I was in early-mid middle school, My mom bought me an extremely dull, decorative set from a thrift store when I asked her to. It rocked and I still like to pretend to do kata with the wakizashi. Most tweens are smart enough to not impale themselves. It is obviously a judgement call. Never give a child a sharp edge.
