2024-06-18 23:28:05I recently purchased the amethyst men from california budogu and am extremely satisfied with the overall service and quality of the product! Extremely efficient, my order arrived in a very timely manner which made practice more enjoyable with the new men. I won’t be buying from anywhere else, Nathan has helped me and even followed up after I received the package to ensure it fit well. Thank you to him and his team, they’re truly amazing people that want to make sure your experience in kendo is worthwhile :).

2024-04-09 10:16:50Just received my first bogu (Amber set) and I absolutely love it!In one word, my experience has been FANTASTIC. Nathan has spent weeks answering all my questions, demands, existential questions and more, to make sure I get the bogu that I really need, while trying to match the budget I had and my cosmetic desires!I cannot recommend them enough for the quality of this bogu, Nathans kindness and generosity and the most amazing customer service Ive ever experienced.

2024-03-09 02:38:22California Bogu has been awesome to work with! They helped our family get into our Gi and Hakama for Kendo and our armor is on order! It’s been so helpful to have them work with us and talk us though all the steps to get our uniforms ordered from Japan. I can’t recommend them more! 😊

2024-06-14 15:41:04Amazing site! Great selection of gear and easy ordering. Support small business! - They have an amazing assortment of Tenugui, all of high quality, and some quite difficult to find in the US. I highly recommend ordering from them! 6 stars.

2024-04-21 03:06:30I can see why California Budogu continues to receive 5 stars from their customers... They went above and beyond to get my order shipped in a short time frame from the supplier in Japan. I cannot think of any other vendors I know so far who is willing to do that! They also provide continuous updates on the order status to ensure that I am not forgotten. Thank you again!

2023-12-23 01:41:5210/10I have used California Budogu for several smaller items, such as shinai and himo, but this was the first time I tested them out on a custom bogu!I ordered a custom Do from them in October, and I was pretty nervous because: 1. It is pretty expensive to order custom Bogu, it is not a cheap investment. And 2. the design and customizations I asked for were very specific. It would have been easy to mess up. Long story short, I was very impressed! They did fantastic!Timing:I placed my order with all of my specifications in mid-October. It typically takes around 4-6 months, but it arrived late December! Barely over 2 months - very fast turn-around!Quality:I was skeptical, at first, because it was such a large investment. But they got everything perfect! The stitching is tight, and the design is exactly what I sent them. I am very pleased with the outcome!Customer Service:I was not sure how picky I could get with the design or instructions, but Nathan consulted me the entire way! He helped me know what would be feasible with different stitch patterns, and he even gave his feedback on my design options. It was very helpful to have an expert communicating with me through the entire process, and the results were fantastic!All in all, I highly recommend California Budogu, especially if you are investing in high quality custom bogu!10/10

2024-05-22 15:38:12I am beyond happy with the products and services offered by California Budogu. I placed a large order to equip a newly established university kendo club, including shinai, shinai bags, bokuto, and uniform sets. Nathan was incredibly helpful in confirming the order, including triple checking all uniform sizes to ensure that our members got properly fitting hakama and gi. Pricing was excellent, shipping was fast, and the products more than met expectations. I look forward to shopping with California Budogu again soon!
