Seriously - what is the difference (if any) between a bokken and a daito?

Question

Used in martial arts.

Answer 1

Types of Bokken
The following list is the basic styles of bokken made:

daitō (katana-sized);
shoto or wakizashi bo (wakizashi-sized);
tanto bo (tantō-sized); and
suburi, which is less of a classification than the earlier mentions, it can be made in daito and shoto sizes but it is meant for solo training. They are much heavier and harder to use, developing greater muscles, increasing skills with 'normal' sized bokken. One famous user of suburi sized bokken is Miyamoto Musashi who used one in his duel against Sasaki Kojiro.
Bokken can also be made in any style of weapon required such as nagamaki, no-dachi, yari, naginata, kama, etc. The few examples above are the most widely-used.

Answer 2

Daito Bokken

Answer 3

a Bokken is a training sword made of wood to mimic the weight and movement of an actual sword.

Daito is a well defined CLASS (or type) of blades for swords like the Katana or Tachi, that must meet certain requirements such as length.

for example: the blade must be more than 24 inches in length (from a straight line). but the Tachi has a deeper curve to it's blade making the difference between it and a Katana more noticeable

the Odachi (long sword) can also be classified in this range, but it is often much longer than a Daito class sword; usually up to a foot longer.

Answer 4

A bokken is a wooden practice sword. A daito is a metal sword which I think is shorter than a katana.

Answer 5

I doubt if there will be any simple straight sensible answers. The problem is that the words are used sloppily. A delusion in most people's minds is just a belief that they disagree with. Delusion is actually a term from psychiatry and it means a belief that is false, but also that the belief is held unreasonably without supporting evidence and even in the face of opposing evidence. The word belief itself is neutral about the evidence. You can have unfounded beliefs, but to stay sane it is expected to have something to support those beliefs. I know that is not much of an answer but to make a better answer I end up starting to explain theories about cognition and that becomes too complicated too fast.

Answer 6

Bokken = training sword
Daito = long sword

Answer 7

I have no idea what you are talking about girl.
