Katana sound effects with a wooden edge. These are bokken, the wooden training swords made to a katana's size and shape, clacking together in attacks and blocks, soft through to hard. Wooden staffs too. Dojo sparring, basically. For the flashier side there are anime fight and weapon sounds, designed and stylised.
Wood on wood is drier than steel: a knock, not a ring. That suits training scenes and Martial Arts sequences. The defensive hits give a solid Parry at different strengths. The anime sounds bring whooshes and magic for when a sword fight leaves reality behind.
