Buy the perfect armor set for elementary school students and young fencers online | BUSHIZO carefully selects a safe, secure, and growth-friendly set

The most difficult thing about starting kendo for children is choosing the right protective gear. Kendo starts at various ages, with some children starting to hold a bamboo sword as early as kindergarten.

Armor that fits the physique of a growing child is an important factor that determines safety, ease of movement, and ease of continuity. At BUSHIZO, we carefully select lightweight and safe armor sets that fit the body of young swordsmen well. We also have a comprehensive support system so that you can make a safe selection even when ordering online.

Why is "young people's" kendo equipment necessary?

Kendo armor consists of four pieces: the men, kote, do, and tare. Because general sizes are too large and heavy, junior kendo players need specialized armor with the following features:

• Kindergarten toddler size for small builds, and boys' size for elementary school students.
• Soft and pain-free design
• Lightweight material makes it easy to move and reduces fatigue

Specifications are required that can be used safely according to the child's growth rate and physique.

Recommended protective gear types by purpose

■ For beginners and children making their dojo debut

We recommend the soft and lightweight nylon model. The kote and tare are also soft and safe, making them easy to put on and take off.

■ For elementary school students who have become accustomed to kendo and are participating in more matches

Upgraded with durable fabric.

The ideal fabric is cushioned so that it doesn't hurt when you receive a blow from the front.

■ For replacement purchases for middle to upper grade children during their growth period

If you want to reach even greater heights, we also recommend lightweight, highly functional protective gear for matches and actual combat.

Please feel free to contact us if you are purchasing protective gear in anticipation of entering junior high school, where choosing the right size can be particularly difficult.

Key points for choosing a protective gear set for boys

• 1. Accurate size selection

  Choose a size based on your height, weight, head circumference, waist circumference, etc. Incorrect size can lead to injury or stress.

• 2. Safety and fit

  The ideal model is one that combines a light, soft fit with impact absorption.

• 3. Reflect your child's preferences and increase motivation

  Having your own armor will increase your motivation to practice. You can also customize it a little by adding embroidery in your child's favorite color.
