About Samural Sports
Testimonials Thank you to Shihan Dana Abbott and Samurai Sports for the opportunity to use the ActionFlex combative weaponry. I use these products when training my students and also in competition. This modern soft weaponry makes it fun to use and as a trainer, I do not fear for my student’s safety. I heartily endorse these products and urge others to use these unique swords and weaponry. Best,
I am the owner of the Dynamic Combat™ Academy. We provide the highest level of quality education and training in the fields of reality-based martial arts, defensive tactics, self-protection, security and safety training. I personally have used ActionFlex products and they are of the highest quality I found in 30-plus years in the business. I definitely recommend them, to the novice or the expert! Thank you.

I was exposed to chanbara six months ago and it the best and most economical way to practice weapons at full speed and full power without kendo bogu. The weapons are very durable and balanced, and the technical support and expertise generously provided by you is worth the price of the weapons. The skill gained in regards to weapons techniques and their practical application through the practice of chanbara is invaluable.
I have owned a dojo since 1994. Since I added chanbara to my schedule my student retention has improved. We use the Action Flex swords from Samurai Sports and my students are very pleased with how they feel and last. I have tried other soft padded weapons and find that the Action Flex line is the best for our needs. Action Flex swords allows us to play hard and not feel the pain. Tim VanDenover
My name is Marc “Crafty Dog” Denny. I am the ‘guiding force” of a real contact stick-fighting group known as “The Dog Brothers.” Our fighting with rattan sticks and minimal gear has been turned down by the UFC for being “just too extreme.” We hold a semi-annual day of fights known as “the Dog Brothers Gathering of the Pack.” Over the 15 years we have been doing this we have tried many, many kinds of padded sticks. The results have always been frustrating; and, in one case a fiberglass rod core shot out the end of the insulation upon impact and shattered a large mirror at the Inosanto Academy. How dangerous! For the last couple of years I have been using the ActionFlex sticks and am very happy with them. The people who train with me are impressed as well – they promptly go out and get their own. In my professional opinion they are a superior product. The covering does not have “drag” the way duct tape/pipe insulation and other commonly used materials do. The core has an ideal blend of flex and substance, unlike the shatter-prone tendency of PVC pipe or rattan, which is too skinny and wimpy or too substantive and painful. Excellent characteristics! On top of this, service is excellent and I have been pleased with the willingness to modify models to my specifications. I recommend Action Flex sticks. Marc “Crafty Dog” Denny
I am the School Program Director and Head Instructor for A.S.K. Martial Arts located in Maryland. We teach traditional Korean Tae Kwon Do karate in an after-school program in cooperation with the Montgomery County Public School System and the local chapter of the PTA, which sponsors us. We have recently incorporated chanbara into our regular curriculum
and have noticed several surprising benefits. It has developed a stronger
awareness on the defensive
posture of our students, has increased their reflexes and timing, and
most importantly it has increased their focus and concentration. I wholeheartedly recommend chanbara and Mr. Dana Abbott’s professional and sincere approach on this new and exciting twist on a very traditional and respected martial “art” style. Sincerely,
