5 of 5 Awesome Bogu Sets July 23, 2018
Reviewer: XING LI from Shanghai, Shanghai China  
I bought this my first bogu sets one year ago. Frankly, I very much doubted whether it is worthwhile buying this because I am unfamiliar with bogu. However, this amazing bogu sets proved my worry is superfluous. It fits my body very well and achieves an excellent balance between weight and protection. The hand-stiched texture makes the MEN and KOTE very flexible to wear. For the reason of safety, I updated the metal mask to IBB-PRO, it is really light but of a reliable quality of protection.

Two months ago, I passed the examination of First Dan(cho dan) with my comrade-in-arms, this sweak soaked bogu sets. Thanks a lot!

If you asked me why I choosed Tozando when I had to buy a bogu set. The reason is simple in chinese character絆(mixed bond?). I visited and bought my first kendoyi and hakama in the head store in kyoto, Tozando impressed me a lot as the sincere service and nice commodity. From that time on, I knew my first bogu sets would be definitely bought in TOZANDO!

5 of 5 The superb XXIst century bogu July 30, 2012
Reviewer: Olga Feodorova from Moscow, Russia  
I have been practising Kendo for quite a long period and I have used different Japanese bogu sets. But when I first tried my Tozando bogu set, I not only understood it was made with absolute perfection, I had a feeling that I was born in this bogu - it fitted so well! In my opinion, this is the bogu where surprising craftsmanship and top technology go hand in hand, making it possible to create a light, well-fitting, flexible, though strong protective equipment. Having this bogu, I am very confident of my competition practice now. It is impossible to have low-level Kendo in such a great bogu. :) In other words, it's a great bogu for great Kendo. I also hope it will serve for a long time. What about next time? - Tozando only, no doubt!

5 of 5 Excellent quality April 14, 2012
Reviewer: Nguyen Dong from Van Nuys, CA United States  
I've been using this bogu for seven months and it is very comfortable.  It offers good protection as well as being light weight and flexible for movement.  I upgraded to the Ultimate Roiro Kyoto Urushi Take Do and it is beautiful in performance as well looks.  I believe that this set will be quite durable.  I am very happy with my purchase.

5 of 5 Excellent bogu! January 31, 2012
Reviewer: Ambjörn Holmkvist from SkellefteÃ¥, Vasterbotten Sweden  
I have been using this bogu for 2 months now and I must admit that it is the best bogu I have ever used.

I got it looking exaktlie like I wanted it and Tozando has provided the best support that I have ever encountered from a kendo web shop.

Im really pleased and I highly recomend it for both shiai and practise. The koté feelt like wearing nothing on your hands and made my wrists really flexible whilst still protekting from the hits of my teammates.

5 of 5 Superb armor January 4, 2012
Reviewer: Brian Sherry from Vienna, VA United States  
After 10 years of doing kendo in an introductory set, I decided to get a new set.  I wanted quality and I wanted a traditional hand-made set from Japan.  The result is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, but perhaps more importantly a fantastically effective set of kendo armor.

Although I knew the quality would be high, the extremely light weight of this set was a shock. Yet, not one bit of protection as sacrificed to achieve it.  This set is beautiful, very light, and provides complete protection, all at once.  Also, the smaller size of the men-dare allows a wider range of motion in the shoulders and is quite liberating!

5 of 5 Simply Awesome December 9, 2011
Reviewer: David from Ellicott City, MD United States  
It fits perfectly.  Super light and soft.  It's protection ability has definitely reached beyond my expectation.  Shipping is super fast (1-2days from Japan to US).  The only downside is that you have to wait several months, but I think it's worth the wait.

Reviewer: Kirk Doran from Auckland, Auckland New Zealand  
I purchased by using the 6 month payment plan. This really helped me in getting the funds together to by this great bogu. The bogu is really light but takes the knocks much better than my old set and looks great too.

5 of 5 AWESOME treasure for a Kendoka August 9, 2011
Reviewer: Thang Tran from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam  
Just received this customized set. Only one word to describe "AWESOME".
Everything is just perfect & well-fit to my bogu. My feeling of the first wear is like a Tuxedo, very comfortable and nice looking. The whole bogu set is less than 5kg, very light. But it's very strong, very protective. I no longer feel the pain of tough strikes.
If you are looking for a FASHIONABLE, EASY TO CARE, LIGHT-WEIGHT & PROTECTIVE bogu set, I do recommend you this one.
If you are looking for a high-quality international Kendo Shop with outstanding consultancy services, I do recommend you to keep in touch with Tozando.
