First of all, the clothing of kendo (the jury pays great attention to clothing in every grade examination or sub-subject examination, because clothing is a part of the "ceremony" in kendo. )

Kendo clothing is divided into two parts:

The kendo of the upper body and the cassock of the lower body are generally made of indigo cotton.

Secondly, tools (kendo doesn't use real knives, sparring with bamboo knives, but it symbolizes real knives).

Bamboo knives and wooden knives are one of the most basic items in kendo. Bamboo knives can be divided into many different categories according to the shape, center of gravity distribution and so on, and the quality of bamboo chips will be different due to their own factors.

Wooden knives are generally only used for kendo practice, so that practitioners can understand the purpose of the knife and will not be used in actual combat.

Finally, the protective gear of kendo (used to protect the body, especially the hitting part, which is very safe)

Kendo protective gear consists of four parts from top to bottom:

Face: protect the head, throat and shoulders.

Body (bucket): protect the chest and abdomen.

KOTE: Protect the back of your hand and fist.

Tare weight: protect the lower body-can be directly interpreted as crotch protection.

These four parts of the protective gear protect the four hitting parts in kendo practice: man (overhead), (forearm), bucket (abdomen) and moon (throat).
