 The ''naginata'' is one of several varieties of traditionally-made Japanese blades, originally serving as a polearm used by feudal samurai, foot soldiers, warrior monks, and the ''onna-musha'' (women warriors belonging to Japanese nobility). Commonly misunderstood to be a type of sword rather than a polearm, the ''naginata'' consists of a wooden or metal oval-shaped pole that has a curved single-edged blade on the end, with a round handguard often situated between the blade and shaft; the blade is inserted into the shaft and secured by a wooden peg that passes through a hole in both. The blade's length ranges from 30 cm to 60 cm (11.8 inches to 23.6 inches), while the shaft ranges from 120 cm to 240 cm (47.2 inches to 94.5 inches).
-Naginata can be used for battering, stabbing or hooking opponents, but their relatively balanced center of mass allows a used to spin and turn them as needed to attain a large radius of reach, and the curved blade provides a long cutting surface that can keep opponents at bay; despite the perceived disadvantages, the weapon's weight provides power to strikes and cuts, and both the shaft and the weight at the end can be used offensively and defensively. Most modernized naginata practice uses two different types with an oak shaft and an oak or bamboo "blade".
