What is a Kendo Armor Set? | Explaining its Composition and Role

A kendo armor set is a set of the four basic pieces of armor required for kendo practice and matches.

• Men (face): Protects the face and head
• Do (body): Protects the torso
• Kote: Protects both wrists and the back of the hand

It is important that the garment fits snugly to the body, allows for easy movement and ensures safety.

How to Choose a Kendo Armor Set | Three Checkpoints to Avoid Disappointment Even When Buying Online

• 1. Accurate measurement of size
  

  We can calculate the optimal size for each piece of protective gear based on information such as height, weight, head circumference, hand size, and waist circumference. BUSHIZO offers free advice upon prior consultation.

• 2. Selection based on practice frequency and match purpose
  

  The model you should choose will depend on the situation, such as lightweight and softness for beginners, or shock absorption and breathability for competitive athletes.

• 3. Materials, tailoring, and design
  

  Small differences such as the material of the faceplate (duralumin or titanium), the hand (deerskin or Clarino), the coating on the body, and the width of the stitching on the tabi, directly affect the feel and appearance.
