  1. 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.

  3. An online kendo store that does NOT kill you on shipping costs?

    I wanted to purchase a tsubadome as a small present for myself (passed my shodan) but I can't bring myself to pay almost equal costs in shipping for one small item! Is there an online kendo store that just ships USPS?
