The protective equipment are "men" (a face mask) and "do" (a breastplate), which are both the same as those in "kendo" (a traditional Japanese swordplay), and "kote" (padded gloves to protect the wrists and forearms) and "sune-ate" (leg guards), which are peculiar to naginata wielding techniques.
防具は剣道の面、胴に独自の小手、すね当てである。
