Awesome gear and service KENDOSTAR! Ordered Saturday, delivered the following Friday to Australia. First bogu set for my daughter - super happy with the fit and quality. A real confidence booster for someone new to kendo. Thanks team.

I have been practicing Kendo for six months and bought this as my first bogu set. After wearing the club bogu, it is wonderful to have something that fits. Until you wear it, you can't appreciate that KendoStar's equipment is measured to 0.5 cm for a better fit than other retailers. I watched other kendoka put in added men pads to get the fit needed (and watched the pads come out during practice) that came automatically with KS fit without the need for other pads. My sensei was honored to take the first hits with the new gear. He hit harder than needed to test the padding - the protection is superb. I was able to break into the kote within a few practices. I'm glad I decided to buy the KendoStar bogu.

Nice and friendly budget set
I return to play kendo after been away for 8 year and this is my first own purchase bogu. I'm quite impress with the quality of the product and the attentiveness that Kendostar have to fellow practitioner. The bogu dose it's job very well you can take more hit on men strike without feeling pain. I'll advice my friend and new member who looking for buying bogu to visit Kendostar for sure.

first bogu set
Wore this for the first time last night at training after having worn club Bogu the previous six months. It did not disappoint. Great quality as you would expect and felt super protective (especially with kote strikes). Would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting their first set.

Best priced Bogu and quality as always very good. Delivery was quick as usual. That’s why we choose kendostar as our first visit for new kendo stuff!

Great Budget Set
Well, it's a cheap set and if you have the disposable income I'd recommend buying the next price tier up. That said, it's a really nice cheap set. The dou is well shaped, the wide padding on the kote very protective and the color is impressively deep and rich. It also has really nice little features like coming with an omamori (and explanation card), the kote had a separate bag and the kote are lined. I bought it for my club and the student who is currently using it is really happy with it.

KendoSuperstar
As a first set it is incredibly good and despite the low price you feel the excellent quality of the product.
KendoStar once again confirms itself, in my opinion, as one of the absolute best kendo shop.
Hannah
Excellent Set
Beautiful set of bogu, very reasonably priced and doesn't feel cheap in any way. The men and kote have a really nice velvety lining, the padding is so good I hardly even felt an impact the last time I got hit. The measuring guide is also really useful, the customer service was great and it came with a cute sticker, win win.
Reka
First set
This is my first bogu set. After reading a lot about the differences of bogus, I decided to buy this one. I am very satisfied with it. It's a little heavy, but very protective. And I could change the 'do' with an exclusive one thanks to the staff's kindness.

1st Bogu set for complete novice
I’m new to Kendo and have never worn any bogu before so I was pretty nervous about ordering a whole set online without getting fitted in person. However, I followed the measuring guides/tips provided here and everything looks and fits great! It also came with QR codes to videos on how to properly prepare and wear each piece. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the quality and care that went into every detail of this set. Thanks!

This is a VERY nice bogu!
Okay, so it doesn’t have some of the more fancy bells and whistles included on some of the more expensive bogus in the range, but it’s protective where it needs to be. The strike zone for the men is thickened, and to be able to get the kote used on popular “Vanguard” model is a splendid result! The men dare are very supple as is the obi of the tare. If you are careful with your sizing measurements then the sizing will be spot on.
Vanguard Basic V2…does what it says on the tin!

Shipping to Türkiye
You can already read how good the product is in the comments below. What I want to add is that there is an international shipping. I am writing especially for Türkiye. I say consider this as a positive benefit when buying the product.
Thank you KendoStar

Great for beginners
We have two of these for my children, purchased with guidance by Andrew. The bogus make a very good first impression, are protective, and I expect them to be long lasting too. The ones we have are not stiff and look like they will be used for a long time.
Warren Ho
Great beginner's set!

Great deal
Hello, I ordered two bogu sets, they look great, are well made and got good price. I am very happy owner now.
Barry Stevens
Great First Set
I purchased this as my first bogu set, and it has been wonderful. Very protective and well priced. I recommend it to any people looking for their first bogu, and in our dojo almost all our new members use Vanguard Basic sets with no complaints.
Eddy
Perfect fit!
After borrowing a bogu for almost a year, I decided to buy my own. After some extensive research and questioning my senpai I decided on this one.
I love the straight forward design of it and the quality feels amazing. I can vouch for the protectiveness of it as keiko is an entirely different experience with this bogu compared to the one I started with.
Jayon
Great bogu
Great no frills protective bogu and again the build quality of Kendo Star products is excellent!
