General information

KendoStar was launched by Kendo teacher, and Kendogu professional - Andy
Fisher, with the goal of bringing top quality, Japanese Kendo equipment to
the Kendoka of the world. Further, it is our goal to offer equipment that
is specifically designed and selected to cater to the specific needs of
Kendoka outside of Japan. With KendoStar you can be assured of exceptional
quality, delivered with unrivaled service. The practice of Kendo in Japan,
is somewhat different to how it is in the rest of the world. In Japan, the
majority of Kendoka are youngsters, even below the age of 18, and are very
heavily focussed on competition. Further, most have started kendo during
their early childhood years, and have no memory of how it was to wear the
Bogu for the first time. They have already developed a good cutting
technique, and injuries from hard-hitting, overly powerful strikes are very
rare. Outside of Japan, however, where many people begin Kendo later in
life, we encounter different problems, and have different requirements.
Where young Japanese competitors require lightweight equipment, that
compromises protection, this can present itself as a danger for those of us
practicing around the world. Therefore, caution must be taken when
selecting a Bogu set from a Japanese supplier. Our products are especially
designed and curated with the needs of Kendoka outside of Japan in mind.
Although we also cater to your competitive needs, we specifically look to
provide equipment that prioritizes safety and comfort, and fits the needs
of the international Kendo community. Official KendoStar brand products are
available for you to purchase at our Japanese flagship store's English
website - Kendo Bogu Japan: Mikatsuki Budogu. All orders have free
international shipping.
