Shinbu Right Hand & Wrist Protector

Right wrist and hand Protector – Silicone Cushion Protection

This uniquely developed protector is designed to protect the right kote, which often absorbs repeated strikes during keiko and competition. By incorporating advanced silicone cushioning, this supporter helps reduce impact and discomfort while maintaining the natural movement required for effective kendo.

The protective silicone cushion is strategically placed to cover the upper forearm area (common strike target), the base of the index finger, and the outer wrist bone—areas that are particularly vulnerable to repeated impact and pain. This targeted protection helps absorb shock while allowing the practitioner to maintain control and sensitivity.

One of its most innovative features is the unique wrap-around wearing method. Instead of the traditional design where the arm is simply passed through a sleeve, this supporter wraps around the arm, creating a secure hold while maintaining comfort. This design provides strong support without interfering with the wrist movement or the inside of the hand, ensuring that the swordsman’s grip and technique remain completely natural.

As the first kendo supporter to utilize silicone cushioning, it offers exceptional shock absorption with minimal bulk. Even during long practice sessions, the supporter remains comfortable and effective in helping relieve pain caused by repeated impact.
