Budo Brothers barrel bag coming in clutch for the pool and rainy islands. Two other martial artists recognized the logo while I was getting through the airport 🙌🏽😎 General Community Question: What other applications have you used your Budo Brothers gear for something that wasn’t directly aim at Martial Arts? 🤔

The Budo Brothers Podcast is Back! 🎙️ We’re firing it back up and this time, we’re making it easy. No plans, no idea what we’re going to talk about, just crack a beer, pull up a lawn chair, shoot the shit, and bring you along for the ride. Sometimes less is more. And we’ve been putting off the podcast for far too long because the grandiose plan we had was too big to actually execute on. We always had it in our minds that Season II had to come back “bigger than ever!” The plan was to create this elaborate studio with sick lighting and an epic background… and surprise surprise, it’s never going to get done because we have been in a constant state of survival mode… Instead, we’re just going to randomly turn on the cameras every so often and speak what’s on our minds. So pour yourself a drink or a nice cup of tea and join us to see what’s “Under the Kimono” 🔥🙌

My wood addiction has worsened over the past couple of months... I can't stop buying exotic wood and it's starting to cause problems in my relationships, hahaha. But, I mean COME ON!!! It's too beautiful NOT to buy! Even if we don't have the budget... actually, especially when we don't have the budget, and I don't have a plan for what to do with it... Sometimes that's the best way I create products though... I fall in love with the material, then start to daydream about what it could become. First things first, most Tigerwood I've come across in the past has been pretty boring and bland with very little character; maybe a few stripes here and there at best. But, I recently stumbled on a batch that BLEW MY MIND! I have never seen Tigerwood with this much TIGER energy in my life! It's wild... The only responsible thing to do was to back up the truck and buy a bunch... Now I need to figure out what to make out of it... I did a test run on some Tanto Trainers just to see what it would look like, and I was blown away! But we just recently dropped a batch of Tanto, and I'm feeling saucy! I am currently in the lab, starting to experiment with a few different innovative design concepts using this stunning Tigerwood.... Stay tuned... I shall emerge soon with something that's never been seen before 🔥

Round two of revisions on the Kobō Krusher Trainer, and we think we've finally dialed it in. Guess Erik's favorite number, and we'll send you a sample to product test! ⚠️ Only ONE guess per person.
