I’ve gone to multiple website such as sparringgearset.com, trueswords.com, and maeqd.com but I can’t tell for sure if the kendo equipment on these websites are real and won't break when I use them?
Answer: I do not know any of the shops you listed so I cannot say for sure but I can tell you that you should avoid any online martial equipment shops that sell “Kendo” equipment. Unless they have done kendo for years, they probably do not really know about kendo and what we use.
Please read this article and at the bottom you can find a link to some shops.
