About Shureido USA

Shureido USA is proud to be the exclusive distributor of authentic karate and kobudo equipment from SHUREIDO, Okinawa, Japan, the birthplace of Karate.

With the true Karate-Ka in mind, Shureido, Okinawa Japan manufactures the highest quality martial arts equipment today, including self-defense weapons, sandbags, kobudo and makiwara equipment. Shureido Karate gi’s, traditional in style, are handmade by skilled craftsmen from the finest quality material available using the latest sewing techniques.

Shureido USA began in 1978 in a small shop in Los Angeles when Ryukyu Enterprises Inc. was offered a chance to exclusively distribute the Shureido brand. After the devastation of having our business looted and burned in the 1992 Los Angeles riots, we moved to Orange, CA where we now have an 8,000 square foot facility where we stock the full Shureido product line and can ship you a Shureido gi, karate or kobudo equipment within 24 hours, usually the same day.

Since quality and authenticity are the essence of Karate, we are proud to offer the Shureido brand, which represents the highest quality that can be found in martial arts equipment anywhere. Remember Shureido, the world famous brand from the birthplace of Karate.
