About
us

We were a group of youngsters weary of the typical martial arts shops taking us for a ride or of fly-by- night craftspeople whose knowledge of the product was quite limited.

We asked ourselves: Why buy a product from someone who has less experience than us? Why spend money without some kind of advice or guidance?

The answer was always the same: "let's start to design and manufacture products, let's control them until they are perfect and make them accessible to all who practice and love Japanese culture".

With this conviction Katanamart was set up in 2010 (with the help of the trademark Yarinohanzo) as a community of experts in Martial Arts and Japanese culture, created to bring together, construct and select ideas and products. 

Our philosophy
Our philosophy

From the start we endeavoured and collaborated with young, new, high-profile personalities involved in the field of martial arts, of differing nationalities and ideas, capable of enriching the know-how and depth of the project.

An innovative and structured design, stemming from our passion and aimed at creating a business concept where the centre is not only the business but also the people and their passion; meetings, conferences and seminars focused at understanding the real needs and tastes of the public.

This enormous quantity of information made it possible to create the first prototypes of bokken, swords, yari, uniforms and much more; all with the slogan at the bottom "no one should ever feel dissatisfied with us or our material".

The start of the adventure
The start of the adventure

In 2012 we moved from the theory to practice: the commercial project began with the creation and launching of Katanamart.es, backed by Yarinohanzo.com.

We developed and grew by including various technical experts for each area in Europe, professionals capable of supporting us in the various countries, thus allowing the community to evolve.

After the success of "Katanamart Spain" in 2013, there emerged Katanamart Germany, Katanamart United Kingdom, Katanamart France and Katanamart Italy (with the support of the trademark Yarinohanzo) which in a short time have gained the appreciation of practitioners and collectors.

The future

Katanamart continues to develop year after year, linking online Customer Service, personal Customer Service to meeting points and points of sale in the main European countries where it is possible to meet and talk together.
The recent unification of the logistics in our warehouse in Slovenia allows a centralisation of our forces in order to offer a better service in all corners of Europe.
This will allow the consolidation of a sales network of the best Japanese martial arts products on the market that will reach all the main countries in the European area (opening soon UK, Germany, France).
In addition to offering a better experience to our customers, we will soon have a wonderful surprise!
Our aim is to be able to offer all kinds of personalization in all the items we manufacture, including reproductions of Japanese swords, in the least time possible.
Personalizations and modifications made by European craftspeople or by highly qualified personnel with more than ten years experience.
Last among our 2017 projects, the jewel in the crown, is the web site for Katanamart.com customizations. Take one step and have fun in the world of Katanamart!!!
