Used by many top swordsmen

As a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19, wearing a mask is mandatory during kendo practice and matches, but it can be very hard to breathe while practicing kendo with a mask on.

However, a revolutionary mask has been released that significantly reduces this feeling of breathlessness.

that is thisKendo mask KENNMA.

The manufacturer asked many experienced kendo practitioners to serve as monitors, and after much trial and error, they commercialized the product to ensure it could perform even during intense exercise.

In fact, at the All Japan Championships held recently, many athletes, including Hoshiko Keita, used the KENNMA during the matches.

Most of the top winners at the All Japan Championships used KENNMA.

What's so great about this KENNMA?

Feature 1: Comfortable three-dimensional structure

The most notable feature is its three-dimensional structure.

There are mesh breathing holes over the nose and mouth.

This significantly reduces breathlessness during kendo.

*Front side

*Back side

*Side view. Mesh breathing holes at nose and mouth

*From the front. Breathing holes widened.

Feature 2: Small skin contact area

The mask is made entirely of a sturdy, firm mesh material, minimizing the surface area that comes into contact with the skin.

It doesn't stick to your nose or mouth and restrict breathing, and it doesn't feel sticky when you sweat.

*Firm mesh material

Feature 3: Made with materials that don't hurt your ears

Wearing a mask for a long period of time, not just for kendo, can cause ear pain.

However, the KENNMA earphones are made of a soft and thin material, so they are less likely to hurt your ears.

However, since it stretches less than regular rubber, if you choose the same size as your usual mask, it may feel a little tight.

You need to be careful when choosing the size.

*The part that rests on the ear is made of soft and thin material

Feature 4: Low-stress structure

This is just my personal opinion based on use, but the mask part is made small so the seams don't touch the inner ring of the mask or the area where the futon presses down on your face.

When wearing a mask for a long period of time, the seams can be surprisingly stressful, even if they are not noticeable when wearing a mask normally.

However, KENNMA is designed in a way that makes it less likely that you will feel that kind of stress.

Feature 5: Unobtrusive odor

There is almost no unpleasant odor that is often found in products made from synthetic fibers.

Feature 6: Made in Japan

It is a reliable domestic product.

This is the evolved mask KENNMA that has been chosen by many swordsmen.
