  2. Post Sticky Thread Sticky: Free manual in PDF format

    Save yourself $5. Free equipment manuel download in French, English, and German. I like how it says "please don't copy this illegally" on the bottom of the first page. Too late.

  2. Tips for maintaining bogu in HK?

    Maintaining bogu used to be so easy. Back in Australia or Taiwan I'd just wipe it down after practice and hang it up outside on the balcony. No so in HK where I have to dry out my bogu inside the apartment (the smell's not too popular with the missus I might add). For background information,...

  6. Tenugui design

    I was wondering, does have having a different/brightly coloured/distinctive design tenugui get regarded in the same way as the coloured do? The tenugui I've got at the moment I like very much but it is navy and blends into my men. I see lots of people wearing white ones with Japanese writing on...

  7. Smile My trip to Maruyama today!!!

    I went to Maruyama today... The guy who helped me, Jeff, was one of the most pleasant people I have done business with which provided a great experience in the education of bogu. He and his wonderful wife and son created such an hospital atmosphere by serving tea and treats we felt right at home....

  8. Question Tare - cost versus benefits & Mine

    I have decided to join the much vaunted Mine club (well, at least more extensively - I already have the kote) as I will be traveling a lot more now and it will also allow me to let my bogu dry between practices. My question is, would it really be worth it getting the Mine tare or just get...

  9. Anyone else see this "new" bogu from Yamato Budogu

    It looks kind of funky. From it's pricing and description, do you think it's meant to slightly undercut and compete with Chibabogu? Anyone seen it in person?

  13. Watch out on international credit card purchases now

    Maybe everyone else already noticed this -- if so, sorry. In the U.S. we're undergoing some fairly major credit card changes. Credit card issuers are being restricted in some new ways and they are using some new fees to make up the difference. I just got my new explanation of "benefits" in the...
