"I have been doing Kendo for the past 37 years, and I went through many Bogus. But, I still remember the Bogu my grandmother bought me more than 30 years ago. It was a 2 mm machine stitched Bogu, which for a kid at that time, it was too good. I still have it, and look at it when I start designing a new Bogu. To be honest, it was a heavy very Bogu, and it took me a long time to break it in to feel comfortable using it. The Men had a Steel Mengane, which made it very heavy, but I was very happy at that time. This GOBANZASHI JISSEN Bogu, with the advanced technology and craftsmanship, it is a Bogu that is almost half of the weight what it used to be, and you can start wearing it from day one, as if you have been using this Bogu for years. The Men weights just over 2 lb (1.2 kg), Kote just over 1 lb (490 g), and Tare 1.5 lb (660 g). This Bogu will take you to a totally different level of training. The design is very simple and beautiful, using the best material for the Futons. The most remarkable thing about this Bogu is the GOBANZASHI stitching for all the Futons, giving a look and flexibility that only Tezashi (Hand Stitch) Bogu coudl offer. It is a very comfortable Bogu to wear. My goal is to produce a Bogu that all Kenshis would be looking forward to wearing everyday, for practices, tournaments and Dan promotion exams.
