🎉 Huge congratulations to @Geoff Hunter ! 🎉 You're this month's lucky giveaway winner! You've won a Wooden Krusher! We'll send you a DM to get your shipping details and let you choose your preferred wood type. Thanks for being part of the Budo Brothers community! We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your new gear!

This has been in the works for over a year now, and we are officially up and running with our new production equipment! Kyle and I dumped our life savings into the business as collateral for a big loan to buy a bunch of new equipment. We still have a few kinks to work out, but we made our very first product yesterday! We created a Purple Heart Kobo Krusher ... Not going to lie, this thing is pretty sick! Would be great for training, especially with the rubber nubs. The most exciting thing about this new equipment is it will open up a dozen new product lines for us. We're talking Bokken, Naginata, Yari, Katana, Machete, Walking Sticks, and anything else we dream up! We are curious: what are the top new product lines you would like to see come out? And obviously All of these would have elements of exotic wood, but we are also able to get into the LIVE blade game. And please comment on anything we're missing!

We had the opportunity to train with Tuhon Apolo Ladra, founder of the iKali program, and explore how Kali drills can develop practical fighting skills for sparring, stick fighting, and real-world self-defense.

We’re doing a limited run of our Red Carbon Fiber Kali Sticks!

Whoa… it’s been a while. But we’re back. The Budo Brothers Podcast has been reinvented and rebranded as Underneath the Kimono. This time around, we’re stripping things down, taking ourselves a little less seriously, and giving you more of a behind-the-scenes look at what’s actually going on in our world—what we’re building, what we’re thinking about, what’s challenging us, and what’s inspiring us. This is a place for us to connect and catch up. We’ll talk entrepreneurship, martial arts, creativity, innovation, new ideas, the ups and downs of building Budo Brothers, and, of course, plenty of jiu-jitsu. We don’t know exactly what the cadence of the podcast will be yet—and that’s kind of the point. We want to keep it loose, genuine, and fun. In this first episode back, we catch you up on what we’ve been doing over the last couple of years, where Budo Brothers is headed, some of the new products we’re working on, and the concept of Sutemi—full commitment with no turning back.
