OWNED AND RUN BY MARTIAL ARTISTS
We are passionate about what we do, because we share the same vision and objectives with our fellow martial artists. Shogun Supplies is managed and run by martial artists, from our head managers to our lower level employees - most are employed because they understand what our clients are looking for and what is expected from their martial arts divisions. Therefore, we strive to maintain high quality standards across all of our product lines and we hand pick our wholesalers according to our quality measurement criteria.
Our founder is a successful entrepreneur and dojo owner who teaches Genbukan Ninjutsu, which was founded by Grandmaster Shoto Tanemura. Genbukan means “place that nurtures the professional martial artist.” Also, Gen means “black,” referring to a place for practicing skills and techniques which are mysterious and powerful. One who masters Genbukan training is said to radiate light to the “outer world of darkness.”
Because quality is so significant to us, our employees often test new gear themselves during their martial arts classes or instructors will incorporate the gear into their classes for students to test and leave feedback based on their experience for quality measurement purposes.
What makes our brand stand out is that we import some of our unique supplies, including Ninjutsu uniforms, all the way from Japan - where a lot of martial arts styles originated from.
