During my career as a Kendogu professional, it has been somewhat hard to deliver a Kendo Bogu set that provides this level of protection, whilst I was employed at Japanese companies. Despite producing an extremely popular, extra-protective Bogu set in the past, that was hugely popular, I was told by the companies in Japan that worked for that it was not to be continued - as it did not meet the needs of Japanese customers. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis upset me a great deal, and was a deciding factor in leaving employment at such companies, in order to start KendoStar. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe great thing about VANGUARD is that it is great for ALL levels of Kendoka. It's great for instructors who are on the receiving end of lots of hard strikes - especially from beginners. But it is also a fantastic set for instructors to recommend to their students, including the beginners, as they also benefit from the protective features. I know myself, from my own experience as a Kendo instructor, that a large number of students quit Kendo shortly after first wearing the Bogu. This is because of the pain that they experience as beginners, which not only are they not used to, but also because they are also on the receiving end of strikes from other beginners, who have not mastered the cutting technique. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Japan, this is less of a problem, as most beginners are children, and not adults.

However, to prevent wear and tear, and to allow for good shaping, 5mm diagonal 'Naname-zashi' is used on the Mendare - ensuring VANGUARD is both durable, and comfortable. A light, but strong IBB Mengane (protective cage) features reinforced Titanium bars in the strike zone - giving excellent balance, and exceptional strength. To improve hygiene, a new type of specially developed micro-bacterial felt is used for the Uchiwa (face padding), which dries quickly, and is resilient to odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7455224102959,"sku":"VG-MEN","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/products\/SLV_2599a__43987.1499176330.1280.1280.jpg?v=1569124610"},{"product_id":"vanguard-kote","title":"'VANGUARD' Extra Protective KendoStar Kote","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003eMeasuring Guide:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8400_240x240.jpg?v=1641997666\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8400_240x240.jpg?v=1641997666\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8401_240x240.jpg?v=1641997697\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8402_240x240.jpg?v=1641997724\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD) Measure from the wrist joint, to the tip of the middle finger.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eE) Measure in a slight diagonal line around the knuckle and palm area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eF) Measure around the palm, with all fingers and thumb closed.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBACK \u0026amp; REINCARNATED!\u003c\/strong\u003e The Extra Protective Bogu Set 'VANGUARD' is one of the Bogu sets that stands out as unique amongst its rivals.

During my career as a Kendogu professional, it has been somewhat hard to deliver a Kendo Bogu set that provides this level of protection, whilst I was employed at Japanese companies. Despite producing an extremely popular, extra-protective Bogu set in the past, that was hugely popular, I was told by the companies in Japan that worked for that it was not to be continued - as it did not meet the needs of Japanese customers. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis upset me a great deal, and was a deciding factor in leaving employment at such companies, in order to start KendoStar. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe great thing about the VANGUARD series is that it is great for ALL levels of Kendoka. It's great for instructors who are on the receiving end of lots of hard strikes - especially from beginners. But it is also a fantastic choice for instructors to recommend to their students, including the beginners, as they also benefit from the protective features. I know myself, from my own experience as a Kendo instructor, that a large number of students quit Kendo shortly after first wearing the Bogu. This is because of the pain that they experience as beginners, which not only are they not used to, but also because they are also on the receiving end of strikes from other beginners, who have not mastered the cutting technique. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Japan, this is less of a problem, as most beginners are children, and not adults.

During my career as a Kendogu professional, it has been somewhat hard to deliver a Kendo Bogu set that provides this level of protection, whilst I was employed at Japanese companies. Despite producing an extremely popular, extra-protective Bogu set in the past, that was hugely popular, I was told by the companies in Japan that worked for that it was not to be continued - as it did not meet the needs of Japanese customers. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis upset me a great deal, and was a deciding factor in leaving employment at such companies, in order to start KendoStar. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe great thing about VANGUARD is that it is great for ALL levels of Kendoka. It's great for instructors who are on the receiving end of lots of hard strikes - especially from beginners. But it is also a fantastic set for instructors to recommend to their students, including the beginners, as they also benefit from the protective features. I know myself, from my own experience as a Kendo instructor, that a large number of students quit Kendo shortly after first wearing the Bogu. This is because of the pain that they experience as beginners, which not only are they not used to, but also because they are also on the receiving end of strikes from other beginners, who have not mastered the cutting technique. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Japan, this is less of a problem, as most beginners are children, and not adults.

They also carefully adjust the thread tension to control the thickness and feel of the Futon.
