Anybody ever heard of it or seen it? I was looking through a bogu catolouge I got out here in Japan, and in the back they had a small section for something called "JuKendo" JU being the kanji for "gun"

The armor looked pretty much the same but it had this really cool looking left shoulder guard (imagine something like what Cloud wore from Final Fantasy 7), and the Tare had a small clip at about the right hip, looks like you can clip or hang something from there, and the Tsuki pad, was really wide. The MEN, DO, KOTE, and TARE looked pretty much just like Kendo bogu. it also included something called a "Koshibutoun" (lower back pad?)

on the next page you could also buy, rubber knives, wooden pistols, and padded staffs, and bats.

looked interesting. Anyone know anything about it?
Jukendo...bayonet fighting. The two target areas ate the tsuki and the heart(hence the weird chest rig). You only use the rifle/bayonet. The rubbey knives and pistols are probably for chanbara or some other martial arts training tools.
