Jade
Our most affordable, all-purpose set. Ideal for beginners or as a reliable spare, offering solid protection at the best price point—under $500. Nothing fancy, just a perfect starter set that delivers value.
Amber
Designed for those prioritizing protection without breaking the bank. This soft and comfortable set features extra Futon padding to minimize pain, this set is great for beginners worried about strikes, or those who frequently serve as Motodachi at their Dojo.
Amethyst
Our most popular mid-range set, striking the perfect balance between quality and price. Featuring a simple yet unique Tezashi-looking design, it's ideal for Kendoka at any level, and our top recommendation for a first Bogu set.
Pearl
A Jissengata Bogu set that’s perfect for Shiai. Lightweight, modern looking, and ready for competition, it’s designed for those willing to sacrifice a bit of protection for enhanced agility and speed. The best choice for a lightweight, modern set at an affordable price.
Sapphire
Our top-tier in-stock Bogu set. Made with premium materials and available in two finishes—lightweight Orizashi or luxurious deerskin Futon—this set is for those seeking the best quality with minimal wait time. It's the perfect master-quality set for Kendoka who values performance and craftsmanship.
