Intermediate 30kg Kongo Ken (£75)

For advanced users. Please see the description below.

The Kong Ken is unique to Okinawan Goju-ryu and was based on a steel ring used by Hawaiian wrestlers. After seeing this in Hawaii Miyagi Chojun Sensei on his return to Okinawa decided to develop a similar piece of equipment changing the shape to oval. The oval shaped Kongo Ken better represented the shape of the human body and a greater number of exercises may be employed. The Kongo Ken can weigh from 30Kgs upward, depending on the user. Care must be taken if the Kongo Ken is too heavy. Exercises may be performed with a partner or alone. The Kongo Ken helps to achieve power in the hips and legs and also helps us with the strength and co-ordination required to perform good throwing techniques.

Our Kongo Ken’s are made to order and are available in three weights, Beginner 25kg, Intermediate 35kg & Advanced 50kg. Special weights can be made by custom order. Please contact our sales department direct for a quote at sales@chinahand.co.uk.
