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.
This FAQ is presented as a guideline for purchasing bogu. The main target is beginners who are buying their first set. If you have any comments on this FAQ, please contribute to the comment thread, which may be found here. This is part one of four, covering the nuts and bolts of ordering...
Thanks to Swissv2 for this link: How to fold your hakama Hamish

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,...
I was contacted the other day by Rodney Uhler. He is in the process of opening a branch of Nine Circles Budo supplies in the U.S. (East Lansing Michigan in fact). Their website is still under construction, however he visited out dojo with a sampling of his first shipment of stock. Nice stuff....
Hi Everyone, We just finished making a short documentary about the craftsmen who make bogu, you can see it on the Miyako Kendogu site or the Tozando Site, or watch it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&hl=en-GB&v=YfwlOvD_dyU I found it really interesting to make, so...
has anyone tried these kote from e bogu, they look nice, and are on sale atm http://www.e-bogu.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ANK-KEN-BOG-3MMKOTE-PFR thanks alot!
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...
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....
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...
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?
Hello, Does anyone here knows if there are any bogu-makers in Japan that still makes old-style bogu? Like the interlaced bamboo Dou etc... Thanks, Jack
Hey there! First, I'm new here (though I've been reading for some time) so I hope this is the right section :) I've been doing Kendo in bogu for around half a year now. Since the beginning I always had some problems with my men. Like getting a headache, couldn't tie himo tight enough, etc. Most...
how do you tie the himo onto your men ect i cant figure it out. does anyone know any website that will explain it i've look but couldnt find anything.
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...
Hi everyone~ I wondered if anyone on the forums is or has been dealing with piercings. I know a couple of people who have navel piercings doing kendo and naginata and have reported no problems. I included, got a navel piercing back in May, and haven't experienced anything as of yet (knock on...
My girlfriend needs new kote and I thought about the 3mm's from Nine Cirles... anyone has any experience with kote from there? Thanks in advance!

I ordered a size 1 keikogi and a size 23 hakama from e-bogu, and they turned out to be pretty small... So I'm considering ordering one size up in both. These sizes seem to match my size more correctly, but what if they shrink? Should I buy an even larger size up?? Thank you very much! Btw,...
I've stumbled upon this great forum while looking for some gear that's on the wishlist for our dojo. Maybe someone on this forum could point me in the right direction. I'm looking for steel kendo kata yo/ha-biki, I've found a lot of shops that sell steel iaito (but those or often only to be...
i strolling thru my local sports store and saw in the SCUBA department some dive gear bags. some of them are fitted with backpack straps, and even rollers. some are even mesh to keep the water drained, and able to dry out, which is a plus for sweaty bogu if you sask me. theyre good sized and...
