Some weapons are available for use during Class but you will eventually want to obtain your own. These can be purchased from a variety of sources over the web. BuJin Design provides quality weapons and hakama.

We offer the KI Gi to members, at cost. Our favorite gi is from KI International. We recommend the Heavy Weight 100% Cotton 10 oz. Canvas – Japanese Tournament Cut Uniform (Mugen Orange Label).
