Buy Machine stitch bogu set?

[Pichit]

Hi Every body

As I have read from all the thread that every body wrote, I think that all of you have very good experience in kendo and also know a lot of stuff about bogu.
I need the suggestion about machine stitch bogu which I plan to buy 1 bogu set for my own, many people suggest me that I should buy low stitch interval bogu like 3mm to 2mm machine stitch bogu as it last long ( I want to play kendo as much as possible as long as I have time and place for practice) and give better protection than large machine stitch bogu.

So do you think that should I buy very high quality 3mm or 2mm machine stitch bogu from Japan? or buy high end quality 2mm With Japanese material Machine stitch bogu from Korea)?

Also can you suggest the good bogu manufacturer please from both Japan and Korea please.

Thank you in advance

Unless you got money to blow on Japanese bogu, I'd start with a machinestitched set from Korea. (In fact, I did start with a machinestitched set from Korea).

I got mine from Sehyun (http://www.sehyun-kumdo.com/sehyunindex.htm) , but I know others who have gotten similar quality and price from Kendoshop (http://www.kendoshop.com)

Sehyun is a little quirky as they dont accept credit cards and you have to a bank transfer, but I wouldnt hesitate to use them again.
I'm starting to get holes in the palm of my kote, but that's after 2.5 years of training 2-4 times a week.
