I'll be perfectly honest with you. I firmly believe that I paid too much ($500) for my bogu (bought from the Master). But, at the time, I didn't have a clue what I needed, what size I was, how it was supposed to fit, or even where I would look to buy it. If my instruction was poor and I was thinking of quitting, the cost might be a source of irritation. However, the degree of pleasure I have gotten from the last 10 months of learning/training is immeasurable. Whatever the "extra" amount I paid, it was well worth it, as the equipment is serviceable, it fits and it has allowed me to train. I now know the value of better stuff and where I can get it. If I ever acheive shodan, I will treat myself to some higher quality stuff.
