Bōgu Kumite is a phrase meaning “sparring match using protective armor.” Bōgu Kumite is a mid-traditional sparring competition using full-contact punches, kicks, and blocks. Modified kendo armor is worn as protective equipment and is widely used in various Martial Arts that fight without weapons, such as our classical Ryukyu Kempo Karate system. Generally, only strikes that would hinder an opponent had they not been wearing the protective equipment are scored.

The men is a traditional headgear used to protect the face, neck, and shoulders. It consists of a faceguard with several horizontal metal bars running the entire width and length of the face, a long rectangular thick cloth padding that curves over the top of the head and extends to cover the shoulders, and a throat protector. The men is held in place with a pair of woven cords that wrap around the head and are tied at the back. The back of the men is left open for ventilation.
