daido juku headguard
OSU! Hi guys I'm new here...I am very happy to write something here.
I would like to ask you where I can find the kudo headguard since here in Italy,where I live there is no kudo dojo anymore..
I heard that there is a new helmet for kudo but I cannot find it..also I have problem in reading japanese so I really have no clue..
I also would like to ask you if is it possible to add padded flaps on the back and sides of the neck in order to allow very controlled shuto striking..in other words something like the ProForce® Thunder Padded Combat Head Guard w/ Face Cage that you can buy on the AWMA site (I am not allowed to post the link)


Thank you very much
OSU!

No! I really respect what Azuma has done with kyokushin.
But I think we all teach our own Kudo and I think we are all Kudoista!
A TKD Master who teaches here in the CO stated that Kyokushin is one of the original MMA. This Master happens to be Korean by the name of Choi. He is the 1st person that i have met here who actually knew alot about Kyokushin and he really respects all of us who practices kyokushin. He says that we are the few martial artist that are true.

I stopped into the Daido Juku HQ this week in Tokyo, and unfortunetly, they don't sell the head gear right out of the HQ...

They also told me that a new helment is under development, and should be released later this year (a helmet that DJ has been involved with hand on)

I wouldn't go buying the new helmet thats for sale at the moment. From what I've heard there are a few problems with it.
Like the chin guard is easily used to choke you out!
So perhaps thats why there is another one being designed.

What I was told when I spoke with the person at DJ Head Quarters, is that the current helment is not officially endorsed by DJ....although it is probably the most popular style.

The new one that is being designed and manufactured is being done by the organization. So it will their official helment...

Does that make sense?

There's a news item featuring the new head guard on the Daido Juku homepage, I don't know what it says so hopefully someone can translate:

Basically it is announcing the change in rules of what head gear can be worn.

For the 2007 All Open Tourney preliminaries, the current head gear "Super Safe" can be worn.

For the 2007 All Open Tournament finals, and moving to all tournaments in 2008 including the All Japan Tourney, the new headgear "Neo Head Gear Open" known as NHG Open, will have to be worn.

To dojo's, leaders and other officials who have placed orders, shipments of the NHG Open head gear will start soon.

Ordering of the helment by the general public will be announced on this page, and from time of payment, shipping will occur within 2 weeks.

Junior Size (S) will be 10,000 yen (9,000 yen for DJ students)
Senior Size (L) will be 15,000 yen (14,000 yen for DJ students)

(names of the actual tournaments may be different....I am just using a standard phrase as I do not have intimate knowledge on the exact naming of DJ tourneys)

I just add the blue part that is directly above what vapor has translated.

The second report about Eurpoean Championship by Azuma Jukucho.

This championship is historically significant in terms of the introduction of the Neo Headgear, the new Kudo helmet. The helmet has been reconstructed (the string to the back of the head was too long, and if the position was a bit lower the head gear would be harder to come off). When compared with the past the strengthened plastic is wider on the face, the facial expression can be clearly seen, there is not much problem with durability (the exchanges of blows between big fighters can be fierce), the power of punches is clearly understood so number of meaningless wild strikes is reduced.

In the past we knew that the future of face-hitting competition was related to the development of head gear, but the cost of development was expensive (the molding costs 10000000 Yen. This time a developer has brought forward the prospect of face-hitting Budo by evaluating the achievement of Daido Juku in the last twenty years, and a joint production is achieved.

“The level of safety is high, it is closer to actual combat, and the audience will be more emotionally involved.” A tournament like this, like a dream, has just finished without major accidents. In 1981, it was like driving in the rough sea that I introduced head gear in Daido Juku and made head-hitting possible. Similarly, Daido Juku now is facing a big reform, Kudo has entered a new era.

OSU!

When I visited the HQ last month, they weren't clear that it would be sold to the public...they hinted that it may only be through your instructor...so this is a good step on their part.

Some new developments about NGH
There are some new changes to the rules about using NGH and here is the most updated version:

2007 Openweight preliminaries - can use supersafe together
2007 All-Japan after Openweight - NGH must be worn
2008 Preliminaries and Shinsakai - can use supersafe together
2009 Preliminaries, tournaments, Shinsakai and everything else - must wear NGH

By the way the devlopment cost of the headgear should be 10 million yen (I swear that I saw one more zero last time!!!)
