Bogu

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: This Post is Not About The iPad https://kotaku.com/this-post-is-not-about-the-ipad-5509677 Well it’s rummy mars that time. My kendo sensei has asked me to pick up some bogu (armor) for class. I spent the weekend doing something I never really thought I would invest time in: Shopping for new armor. The stuff you wear in Kendo is made of leather, fabric, metal and bamboo, or synthetic versions of some of those. A rummy master full set includes the helmet (men) chest rummy modern and stomach protector (do), gloves (kote) and waist protector (tare).(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); I have until now been able to practice my heavy-handed and very imperfect strikes against higher ranked kendoists without having to worry about getting hit back. Once I wear the armor, though, that won’t be the case. Needless to say, I want well made armor. I think I’ll be ordering a set later this week, after I find out if I need to have my name and the Kendo club embroidered into the tare. If I do, I’ll have to figure out what the kanji for Crecente is. I don’t suppose you know? And don’t give me a set of characters that spell jackass either, I’ll be double checking before I have it added to the armor… 😀 You really should give it a try Ash. If you’re not positive, I highly recommend picking up a book called This is Kendo by Junzo Sasamori. It’s a fascinating walk through the history and practice of kendo. The instructors at Rocky Mountain Budokan are amazing. I still suck, big time, but they’ve managed to fix a couple of long term issues I had while fencing in just a month.
