Bōgu
We offer a range of kendo armour to suit all kendoka. All of our bōgu is built from scratch to your measurements and specifications. This helps to ensure perfect fit for comfort, form, and above all, safety - which we believe is paramount in a set of kendo armour. Whether you are seeking kendo bōgu for general training and keiko, jissengata bōgu for shiai, or premium items for enbu and gradings, our bōgu will exceed your expectations.
With the use of Shogun Kendogu's own Bōgu Builder technology, it is now easy to visualise your customised kendo bōgu with a massive range of colour and design options included in the price.
A full custom build, free international shipping, and a 3 year repair warranty make Shogun Kendogu’s kendo bōgu exceptional value for money.
