Whilst this is a great beginner set. I have to warn that the Kendogi seems to be half a size smaller than other Kendogi I have (the Kachi elite featherweight).

Nothing

Very good

Excellent value and superfast shipping!

Is fantastic!!!

Fast delivery and the quality is cery good

Good quality, fast shipping and the package was well protected. I bought the basic kit with kendogi, hakama, shinai and bokken. I've been using them along this week and everything feels solid.

Great starter set.

This is a great starter set. It covers all the essentials.

Great starter set!

Beautiful stuff,great quality,will definitely consider buying from kendostar again

Me ha gustado elntrato que me han dado, solucionando una falta de stock de en el pedido de forma rápida y eficaz

Perfect

This is an amazing set. It provides you all you need to start Kendo, and the quality of the equipment is excellent!

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The only complaint I have, is that the garments have no instructions on the proper care of them . None of the paperwork have instructions on the care of the garments either.

Perfect set Thank you

Very high quality stuff for a good price! The package was shipped and arrived in the country very fast. If it hadn't been for a slow customs process, I would have gotten it in less than a week! The hakama and kendo Gi are exceptionally well put together and the hakama doesn't seem to crease too badly.

First time i ordered from Kendostar. Very satisfied with every aspect of rhe company. Part of my item was delayed but no fault of Kendostar. Very please with everything

This is the second set I've ordered and the quality of all items is just great, especially for beginners. As before, customer support was amazing and swapping the indigo gi fir a white one was (again) no issue at all. This is the first time I've used KendoStar's embroidery service and the result is absolutely crisp and clean, and it looks fantastic! I.m.o., if you're new to Kendo, grab one of these sets as it'll put many smiles on your face!

Excelent quality for good Price

Beautiful starter kit, great products and good price, all in one

Good quality kendo gi and starter set. Happy with delivery timing and have used in training. Very comfortable.

El pack es perfecto! Calidad-precio espectacular! Muy contenta!

Great quality and sizing fits perfectly just as measured according to the website, looking forward to be wearing this in all the keikos from now on:)

Quick shipping, items as described. High quality, great size chart, fit's great, feels great, looks great. Highly recommend.

Great value / quality ratio Even though kendogi and hakama are produced in China, they seem to be very well made. Kendogi is 100 % cotton and it feels very good. Absorbs sweat and it's comfortable. Hakama is 35 % cotton and 65 % polyester. Hakama holds it's shape and when you put at least little bit of efford in folding it, there is no need of ironing it everytime. All-purpose shinai is great - it's ready to use, it does not require oil or any other treatment before the first use.

Quick response, flexible staff and quality items! The KendoStar team was very quick to respond to my inquiry and was willing to change a particular item in this start up set upon my request. Overall, the team was a delight to interact with and my order arrived within a week (mainland Europe) in perfect condition. Given the quality of the items, the set price is fair/on the low end. I will most certainly return to KendoStar in the future.

Highly recommended I received the KENDO BEGINNER START UP VALUE SET quickly. The advice from the salesperson was excellent and the set has very good quality. I will buy here again.

Excellent Set for Beginners High quality materials and low price

Highly recommend it! I bought the Kendo Beginner Start Up Value Set some time ago and I am very pleased with the purchase. The order arrived really quickly. All of the items are of great quality. The kendogi and the hakama also fit perfectly - the sizechart is reliable. I am definately going to shop at KendoStar again. Already got some people from my dojo to shop at KendoStar too!

Best Set for Beginners Wahrscheinlich das beste Set für Anfänger, das ich in Kendo-Shops gesehen habe. Es ist alles sehr gute Qualität und nichts fehlt, so dass Anfänger nicht das Problem haben jedes Teil einzeln suchen zu müssen, stattdessen müssen sie nur einen Klick tätigen. Der Preis ist meiner Meinung nach auch absolut fair und gefühlt sogar billiger als auf anderen Seiten. Ein sehr großer Vorteil sind aber sicherlich auch die kurzen Lieferzeiten. Die Produkte sind in der Regel innerhalb einer Woche da. Wir empfehlen dieses Set auf jeden Fall in unserem Dojo für unsere Anfänger. Probably the best set for beginners I have seen in Kendo-Shops. Its all very good quality and nothing is missing so beginners don't have to look up each part they just have to do one click. the price is also I would say absolutely fair and maybe even cheaper than on other sites. But for sure a very strong advantage is also the short lead times. The products are in general there within a week. We definitely recommend this set in our dojo for our beginners.

Nice! Great value set! The Kendogi is really comfortable to wear and well made. What you should know: It is not dyed with Aizome. So it doesn't stain the skin and you don't look like a smurf after training. In summer, the gi is a little warm at first. But that changes as soon as you start to sweat. Then it cools wonderfully and evenly. Cotton is simply great. The shinai bag is also excellently made and comfortable to wear. What I would like to see is a zip or at least a velcro fastener on the small pocket where you can put the Tsubadome or something else so that you can close the bag completely. But that's only a small thing and you can glue a velcro fastener on yourself. I can recommend the set without reservation. The shop is also great. Great service and you get a quick answer to every question! You can tell that Andi-sensei really puts his heart into it.

It's so good! I started my kedo life with kedostrar and got what i wanted! The size chart was good and helpful.

Excellent Beginners Set My Hakama and Kendogi fit perfectly and is of high quality. The Shinai and Bokken are great for me as a beginner. I have had no issues and enjoy training with them. The bag is great. Hold the Shinai and Bokken no issues and easy to carry. Presentation was beautiful when it arrived. And it arrived fast! All the way to South Africa in less than a week. I recommend this set to any beginner out there.

(español) todo correcto en el envío, llego en la fecha prevista y en perfecto estado

Extra Set and delivery I have ordered two sets for me and my wife. Uniform set quality is much better than the ones we had used before. They are comfortable and nice to train in. I highly recommend this set to every kendo beginner because all necessary things are included. I'm impressed by the speed of delivery. Everything went as effectively as if I ordered in my homeland.

Great products and super fast delivery I had seen a lot of great reviews for this beginners value set. And I must say the quality an fit of the Hakama and Kendogi is great! I chose sizing that corresponded to my height and it fits almost perfectly. Shinai and bokken feels great to swing and overall we are very happy with the product. I bought a set for me and my girlfriend and she is especially pleased with the kendogi and shinai. The only nit pick we have is that her Hakama wasn’t folded as nicely as mine before shipping, and therefore has a little bit of wrinkles. All in all great products and we look forward to continue shopping for kendo equipment at KendoStar!

Great Product Great Quality/price relation. I ordered this and it arrived in less than a week. The bag was really great quality and the shinai had really great geometry. One thing I would note is that you might want to get a size a bit smaller because when I tried mine on I found the hakama to be a bit long. I also want to note on the shinai/bokken's packaging, The packaging was extremely secure but that also made it very difficult to open the box. I tried to open the box and it took me nearly 40 minutes.

Fast Delivery / Kendogi Measurments Pros: Great quality/price relation. I ordered from latin america and it took less than a week to get the order in my door. Amazingly fast. The shinai is perfect. The bag is great, really good quality. Cons:The KendoGi was a little small for me. The size is exactly as it said in the table of sizes, the problem is that you should take into consideration the height and not the measurements. The measurements are a tight fit, and that's not what you want, so, at least for me, I should have ordered 2 sizes more than my measurements, that is the recommended for my height. The bokken is just a little bent. Overall: I am really happy with the purchase. I will buy from kendostar again.

Just perfect I just bought my second beginner set as it includes everything you need. -The Hakama and Gi has good quality and is easy to handle in regard of washing and folding. -The shinai is good, so far no damage and in one piece. -The booken is also good and pleasant to train with -The bag is good for its price.

Perfect for beginners That set includes everything a beginner needs. I am now practicing with it for a bit more than half a year (two times a month). Everything is still like new.

No need to worry I must admit I was a bit worried about buying and being unable to see it before hand. But my worries were unwarranted. The quality is extremely high, very comfortable kendogi and hakama. Not overly heavy but heavy enough to keep you warm during winter, and I’d imagine cool in summer. The shinai bag is great quality too, easily fits my two shinai plus the bokken comfortably.

Best value Probably the best value beginner's kendo set out there, when factoring in free shipping and customs charges taken care of. Everything you need to start minus bogu. Good quality basic gi and hakama, really nice practice shinai and bokken, and a nice heavy-duty shinai bag. And all backed up with the best customer service in the kendo industry. What's not to love?

Great value for money This set is a very good choice for every one new in the world of Kendo. A hakama and gi easy to care and a durable shinai bag.

Well Worth Your Money The kendogi and hakama are of amazing quality and fit me really well, which is welcomed as someone who is curvy and short. The shinai is amazing, I haven't used it yet but the shinai that was provided on my beginner's course was Kendostar and it's lasting me really well. The bokken feels wonderful quality as well, I only wish I could have chosen the colour but that is my only complaint. The shinai bag that you get is amazing quality and easily fits both the men's and women's 39" shinai and the bokken in it if you don't want to store it on the front. I will recommend that you make a name tag and pop it in the holder because this set is so good you will find that lots of other people have that same shinai bag.

Very Comfortable with Easy Care The kendogi and hakama uniform combo was a good initial investment for me while getting back into Kendo after many years away. The quality of the entire set is top notch and very affordable. Very lightweight and washing machine safe (I use garment mesh washing bags). Delivery was quick and free.

Excelent Deal! Excellent customer service and products. The uniform is of very good quality, the material and the size fits perfectly according to the measurements shown on the page. The Shinai and Bokken are perfect for a beginner as myself. It already covers the basics for me to be able to train with all kinds of exercises. I thought the carry bag would be of a lower quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. The material used is very good and seems sturdy, with enough room to carry several Shinai. The purchase process was easy and the information was quite clear. For shipping, I was afraid that there would be customs charges, but everything was covered with the initial price! (Shipping to Spain). An example of great customer service: I received an email after my purchase, informing me that the Hakama of my size was out of stock. They went ahead and upgraded de product without any additional cost! Great way to get a new loyal client!

Maximum Bang-for-Buck This set is exactly evening you need to start your kendo journey. Shinai for keiko, bokken for kata, a bag to carry them + the tsuba & tsubadome in a pocket inside, and of the nicest-looking shades of blue I have ever seen on a uniform. The kendogi and hakama are a great addition to your collection. The hakama's inner pleats are especially useful if you're like me where I always steam press my clothes to make sure I'm always presentable. The bokken is compressed bamboo, surprisingly. Feels light to swing, just don't impact onto anything too much. The shinai is remarkably nimble to handle, feels lighter than my previous training shinai. I will absolutely recommend everyone I know to get this

Processing & International shipping in 2-3 days It arrived way too quickly even though it was an international shipment :D The set is very nice to purchase as a starter, ensuring you're all set without missing anything.

Excellent Shipping time and Quality. I ordered this package from Greece and I was fully expecting it to arrive in 2 weeks and have to pay customs and import taxes. Both those worries turned out to be nothing more than fantasy. The package arrived within a week (6 business days) and no shipping or customs or import taxes! I was amazed that you truly only pay once, especially with Brexit. That being said, the quality of the products themselves is great, exactly what I ordered! Although I am facing quite a bit of trouble fitting the tsuba on the shinai, but I will ask my Instructor for further assistance. I am absolutely shopping again.

Perfect for me! I'm a new-ish kendo practitioner and I couldn't be happier with what I got! No hassle whatsoever, everything came perfectly packed and it all looks and feels great! Now, I just need to figure out how to put the kendogi on faster..

Good fore beginners Like the product I received but in my haste I ordered gi that was to small but that's my fault and they was willing to trade sizes aslong I paid the shipping to and from that's fair but since I live inn norway that cost mor then buying a new gi then I rather sell the small one to a club member fore half pice and lose less but overall good service nothing bad to say all trouble was my fault and now I am looking to buy a bogu from there

Perfect starter I bought this a month into kendo and it has fulfilled al my beginner needs! Great quality, customer service helped me very quickly with sizing. Couldn't be happier

Look no further A great starter set that even my sensei was impressed by the quality. Shipping to Malaysia only took about a week or so. Will be purchasing my bogu next.

WOW! Well done Kendostar As I’ve just started my Kendo journey I’ve spent countless hours browsing Kendo shopping sites looking for the perfect starters kit. It wasn’t till I came across Kendostar.com that everything else I’d been looking to buy fell to the side. After learning to measure myself for the Kendogi and Hakama I placed the order (from New Zealand) and it arrived perfectly presented 5-6 days latter! Not only was the Kendogi and Hakama a perfect fit, all items were high quality! I look forward to further purchases in the future as I move forward with my training. On a side note, I must mention that not only is the shopping experience and presentation on the webstore well above others I have visited but also what a perfect partner to have in DHL Couriers. I was able to track my order in real-time (via DHL Express app.) and couldn’t believe my eyes at the speed at which my order crossed the globe to my doorstep! One of the best online shopping experiences I’ve ever had, well done to all that touch my order!

Good running start Great value for what youre getting

Best starter set out there I looked for many starter sets. This is definitely the best one i could find regarding content/value/money. I am using it now for over 7 month and nothing has broken etc. PERFECT!

Amazing value For the kit you get in this package the value is amazing, but always check your sizes before you buy and maybe consider going a size up from what you think you are. Definitely would recommend

Great Value for Money! Great Value for Money!

Perfect way to get started This is literally everything you need to get started at an incredibly competitive price for *quality* equipment! I've been practicing for a year now and everything has been fantastic. The shinai feels nicely balanced and with only a touch up every now and then to shave off the splinters it's holding up perfectly. The kendogi is a nice cotton and shows no signs of fading, plus the hakama is pretty low maintenance. Would be nice if the pleats were double stitched but that would be unreasonable at this price point. You also get a shinai bag to hold everything!

Very competitive pack I am a starter in kendo. Very satisfied by the service and very fast delivery. Set easy to take care of. Shinai better than usual basic ones. Two points for me : kendogi a bit large for me (tall and thin) and the tsuba pocket on the bag opens too easily.

Michael D I purchased the beginners set perhaps more than 6 months ago it has treated me well. Certainly, good value and will get you far. however, as Australia is in the summer month I have found the kendo gets quite hot. I have also found the hakama is losing its pleats despite proper folding after every session? perhaps it's a fault on my end. Shinai, carry bag and accessories are all great.

Great set! Used it a few times now and couldn't be more happy!:D

Epic Quality This set has really perfect quality. You will feel it when you receive your set. They are way much better than the pictures. As a company they have really great customer service! Highly recommended

Fast shipping and excellent quality! I have purchased this set now that I've started to practice kendo at a local dojo and I'm delighted with it. The gi and the hakama are very comfortable to wear during practice. The carry bag is also a nice addition to the set since it has a convenient outer pocket to keep the tsuba and tsubadome. The shipping was fast too! I'm so happy to have purchased my first kendo uniform from kendostar!

Awesome set! Awesome set! I got everything I need to get started. The gi and hakama feel very nice and the bag is super practical. The support team way very helpful and responsive. They noticed a mistake I made choosing sizes and helped me fix it.

Perfect Value I am new to the world of kendo and decided to get this as my first purchase and was not disappointed. It feels great and wasn't expensive. I would highly recommend and will be using this site in the future!

Just amazing Could not ask for a better way to start off my kendo Journey then with this great set and for a amazing price thank you kendo star can't wait for my next buy

Really nothing to argue! Great quality, good customer service, perfect size. Thank you I really recommend this bundle for starters!

Great quality and price This bundle contains everything a beginner needs to start practicing at an affordable price. Gi and hakama feels great and the shinai bag feels sturdy. The shinai itself feels comfortable to wield and the bokken is great for kata. Would definitely recommend to anyone starting Kendo.

Perfect set This beginners start up bundle is just perfect and has great quality. Choosing the right size for my set was easy thanks to the video. Thank you Andy for all the help and your awesome service!

What a bargain! This was purchased for my son who is just starting his kendo journey. Stylish gi and hakama set, tough as nails shinai bag. At this price, it is a brilliant support to those entering into the world of kendo. Thanks KendoStar, for nuturing our beginners!

Perfect choice! Without a doubt the ideal kit to start. The quality of the product is excellent, and the detail of the unique package, you attach a letter, they thank you and they are careful with every detail. I loved. Thanks for the great video, choosing my size has been easy thanks to the explanatory video. The excellent price. Thanks!

Super Happy Bought this Set some weeks ago and i am more than happy! The quality ist Just great for that price. All new Kendoka - Go for it. Best wishes from Germany.

Great starter set I ordered this starter kendo set that arrived quickly. The packaging where it was needed was strong enough. It was a perfect choice in terms of value for money. The hakama and kendogi looks great. The compressed bamboo bokken was a pleasant surprise.

Beyond Happy I received my order today and I am very pleased about the fast delivery, safe packaging and awesome quality of the products. This beginners start up bundle is just perfect and has great quality for a small budget. Also the support regarding the Hakama sizes was just awesome. Thank you Andy for your quick and very friendly support via mail.

Very Good Set Thank you for this offer

Better than I expected This was for my girlfriend who has started recently doing kendo. When the package arrived (the quickest I've ever received) I got impressed not just for the quality also the details for the client. Very happy with this shop

Awesome bundle! Hakama and kendogi are beautiful and really lightweight, I love how they look while wearing them. The bokken is really light and feel nice while swinging it, it looks great too. I still have to try out the shinai, I’m oiling it right now but it looks really well made and durable. The carrybag is a little tight but does it’s job pretty well. The shipment took a little longer than usual because of the high demand in this period but the costumer support was quick to let me know about this and this was really nice. Once it got shipped it took only 3 days to be delivered here in Italy! (A week before the estimated delivery date) Everything was packed very carefully and the order arrived in great conditions. I’m really happy about this order and definitely will shop here again in the future! Also, thank you so much for providing such great videos on The Kendo Show YouTube channel!

Bought 5 sets thus far Will continue buying these good value sets for beginners

Bought 3 A great deal for beginners! Will continue buying them for new members

Useful! I bought this as another spare set of gi and hakama for regular training, and to leave some shinai and bokuto at the club to reduce travel weight. Everything is great for that purpose. Definitely worth recommending to incoming beginners

Great Deal! Very Good Price and Quality!

Please keep this up This is an excellent choice for beginners. The shinai has a standard balance so it's perfect for any Kenshi. No words for the bokken, just loved it!!! Love my new KS kendo gi, althought i had some sizing issues and think i got a short sized hakama and a bigger dogi. But anyway, still feels great on keiko, very lightweight and comfortable for the skin. Overall, KS has nice quality, no complains.

Great bundle, great price! I originally only wanted to get a new uniform, but I saw this bundle and I couldn't pass it up. Very, very happy with my purchase. Thank you Kendostar!

What a great bundle Excellent price and the best value I have seen for such a bundle!

Beginner Bundle Over the moon with my beginner bundle. As i am new to Kendo i mailed Andy looking for some advice on the sizing of the kendogi. Andy was very helpful and after making the purchase i couldn't be happier. Excellent!

Great set Great price

Great quality Uniform is light and comfy during practice, easy to wash and maintain, quick to dry and looks great. Shinai feels well balanced and also durable. Carry bag quality exceeds expectation. Perfect for beginners.

Brilliant beginners set Both the uniform and shinai set are well priced quality of hakama and kendogi very good, shinai also well balanced and shinai carrying bag very good quality well do Kendostar made my day

Great set for affordable price. Kendogi and hakama are good, shinai is well balanced. Quality shinai bag. Great beginner set.
