One of the challenges of being a beginner is finding the information I need when I need them. And that includes where to purchase gears, how to properly wear the kendo-gi and hakama, and attaching the himos on the bogu men for the first time.

Given my recent troubles with my men himo, I realized that it would be a great help to beginners like me to have easy access to a list of how-to videos.

Thanks to a fellow kendoka who gave me links to four videos on how to attach the chichikawa and men himo, I was able to fix the problem I had with mine.

Below are the said videos along with other resources that I find helpful:
