Uniforms and Equipment

Bu Jin Design - High quality gi, weapons, videos, etc. Can be somewhat pricy.

eBogu - Good place to order your first gi (white uniform). Prices start at around $50. Check both the aikido and judo pages. Call them to discuss sizing.

Kingfisher Woodworks - Hand made, excellent quality and design, wooden weapons. Outstanding aesthetics and handling.

Martial Arts Supplies - Inexpensive, light-weight practice uniform. Under $30. This gi will not last through vigorous practice, but for those just starting, it is a lower cost option.
