“In average, I travel about 3 months during the year, and I take my Kendo Bogu everywhere I go. Prior to the trip, I try to find a Dojo at my destination, and contact the Sensei at the Dojo, asking if I can join their practice. 100% of the time, they welcome me, and I have a great practice at a foreign country. There are many benefits to that: I can keep practicing even if I am away from my Dojo, I can get rid of my jet lag faster, and the best of all, I make new Kendo friends. I think that is real Ko-Ken-Chi-Ai. However, a problem has risen in the past few year, when airlines started charging for extra baggage. Some airlines charge as much as $200 for the second bag. As you are aware, in Kendo there is always two parts to the baggage: Bogu and Shinai. So you end up automatically getting charged for the extra baggage. In order to circumvent that, I came up with this Bag, which holds a bunch of Shinais and a Bogu which fits comfortably on the bottom part of the Bag.
