Recently, many different types of kendo uniforms have been released. Although jersey judo uniforms faced a lot of criticism when they were first released, they now seem to have become a standard item. It is a good thing that the number of types of judo uniforms is increasing, but I think that it is becoming more difficult for practitioners to choose. This time, we have picked out recommended kendo uniforms for various types, including double-layered, single-layered, jersey, women's, hand-stitched, and specially dyed! We hope this will be helpful when making your selection. Click here for the list of kendo uniforms https://bushizo.com/products/list.php?category_id=10
