The Shinkudo Dogi, often referred to as a kimono, is a traditional costume for full-contact martial arts. Shinkudōryū only requires white dogi.
Dogi are made of a dense fabric that can withstand the stresses of wrestling, yet is lightweight and flexible, not burdening the athlete with excess weight or restricting movement.
On the left chest of the dogi jacket is a graphic stylized kanji for Shinkudo.
On the left sleeve is the name of the Honbu: Bujinkai.

A traditional belt from Japanese martial arts. Firm yet flexible. The soul of a fighter. Traditionally, the belt color changes with skill and proficiency, from white to black.
The Bujin Shinkudoryu system has 10 apprentice grades and 10 master grades. The following color gradation of apprentice belts is used:
Beginners (uncertified novices) - white belt
10th and 9th kyu - purple belt
8th and 7th kyu - blue belt
6th and 5th kyu - yellow belt
4th and 3rd kyu - green belt
2nd and 1st kyu - brown belt
All official colored belts have the school name embroidered on the right side. Within a single color, senior kyu may be distinguished by a black stripe. Starting with brown belts, the name of the belt holder is embroidered on the left side; thus, senior apprentices' belts are named. Holders of master's degrees from 1st dan and above wear custom-made black belts.
