Ji(地) • 2-2-8mm Entry Level Bogu Set

It took a long time to put this set together. Staying under a low budget while trying our best to keep the quality as best as possible has been, in all honesty, difficult. But when we found the "Ji" we were celebrating!

Hokubei Budogu believes that when it comes to kendo bogu, the primary function should be protection. We hate to see our customers getting hurt during Kendo and to start disliking Kendo because the bogu is not providing enough protection, and every practice becomes annoying due to pain. The next consideration was comfort.

The Ji has a unique stitching pattern. It is a repetition of 2mm-2mm-8mm stitch widths, which creates a row of grooves that provide extra cushioning while improving durability, shaping, and comfort. The materials are high in quality and have ample padding in the futon to give the end-user good protection.

The weight of the bogu was also considered, and this bogu is on the lighter end of the spectrum.

The best thing about this set is the price point. We were going to retail it at $450, but to help beginners get into Kendo, we decided to slash the price to $395, which includes shipping, a basic bogu bag, and even free optional name embroidery.

As a beginner, you will need that extra money as you break your shinais, and get other kendo gears, and we hope that this reduced rate will help you set foot in Kendo in some way. Hokubei Budogu is not just about selling Kendo equipment. We want to help the Kendo community grow, and we will do so by sourcing the best bang-for-the-buck equipment, where quality is a priority.
