I've been getting back in to hardcore practicing-mode these days, and my kote have had a good beating. After 17 years of doing kendo, I never really stopped to take a look at these bad boys, so i decided to take some pics....I'm curious to know what you think...

a Kote is worn over the hand like a boxing glove. They are used in the Japanese martial art called kendo.
