Very good quality and quite comfortable. My kote are rented from a dojo I train with and is quite thin so I was getting a lot of bruises before. Now I barely feel anything after any hits.

Just the thing to help with those harder kote strikes - good fit and comfortable.

No more bruises
I always had bruises on my wrist during Kendo training.
That is now a thing of the past.

Helpful for the homies who need extra protection
I'm right-handed and I use my wrist for work a lot, so I wanted to make sure I had a lot of protection for my kote. At the club, we tried kote strikes with and without the protective pad, and I would 100% always wear this, no question. This is true even though I have the ultra-protective Myrmidon armor set. The kote is very padded, but I prefer not to feel the strike...at all. And this does exactly that! I have smaller wrists, so it fits perfectly with the kote without adjustment as I'm still in the breaking-in period.

Added protection
I often get some sore kote strikes, and felt I needed some added protection. This helps so much. It’s comfortable and gets well under my kote.

Comfy and Protective
Very nice kote pad. Feels a lot better than the one that goes over your hand.
Phil
Nice !
Very protective Kote Pad. Good choice for a beginner kendoka. Love it :-)
Jack
Excellent Kote pad. Provides real protection. I had hurt my wrist and receiving kote strikes was quite painful. With this on, I can barely feel the strike at all.

LOVE IT!!!
I just got into bogu, and experienced first-hand how painful it is to receive bad kote strikes x_x After testing this today, I think I can handle any strike now (or at least, the ones on my wrist XD)

Good kote pad
Good product made from elasticated material. A brief back and forth with KendoStar to check on the sizing compared to kote size. Ordered, shipped in the post, arrived quickly. Job done!
Tony
Perfect!
Protects very well against hard kote strikes.
Simple construction but well made and it does what it is meant for, i.e give you a good protections.
Kazan
Great to protect this painful zone
Beginner in kendo, I have ordered it with my bogu but finally did not use it as the pain was now very limited.
My kid practice kendo also and stopped a training because of the pain on the kote. Now he is using it and really enjoys his kendo again.

Great protection piece
Some people overdo kote hits, and this piece really helps. No more heavy bruising on my arm!
Tony
Nice quality
Bought two recently. The quality and the finishing is really good!

Helps to absorb
Helps to absorb those kote from the "heavy right handers"

Very Nice Quality
I bought this recently, the quality and the finishing is really very good, I just wish it is mentioned here that it is only one piece, I play Kenjutsu, and we strike everywhere, including both arms, so I was to order 2 of them!
N.B. if you play Iaido or any other marshal art from seiza position, you can use this one to wear on your feet too to protect the face of your feet from contacting the floor - sometimes it hurts - not a bad idea at all actually, and Itried it and it worked pretty well actually!

Perfect for hand caring
Some of my customer value their hands a lot (groomers, musicians, etc) and they need and extra protection for their keiko. Thanks KS for this product.

Essential piece of equipment
As a beginner, I just moved with the intermediate and advance players. After one week without protective pad, may right forearm was heavily bruised. I realized not only the beginners can hit a little too hard.
I ordered this pad... thanks for the fast shipping, I was able to get it before the next session. Since then, I feel more comfortable and the bruise is now gone.
I really really recommend this piece of equipment to every beginners!

Simple and solid design. Fast shipping.
Andrea
Ideal solution for me
I chose this item after my first extensive stage with a Japanese sensei. I'm a beginner and after 1 hour when we had practice only with strikes on kote my wrist hurt and few hours later despite the ointment, I was bruised. This is a practical solution for beginners that probably not still able to receive the kote in the right way, I'm very satisfied. The additionalò protection is good and is wearable under the kote without any uncomfort.

Super fast sending
