Bōgu
Bōgu (防具, "armour"), properly called kendōgu (剣道具, "kendo equipment"), is training armour used primarily in the Japanese martial art of kendo, with variants used for jukendo, naginatajutsu, and sojutsu.
History
During the Edo period (1603-1868) the use of real swords for training purposes was discouraged due to injuries, wooden practice swords in the form of bokken/bokuto and shinai were often used instead, and to further reduce injuries practice armour based on traditional samurai armor was developed, this practice armour was the basis for the modern bōgu.
Description and use
The word "bōgu" consists of two parts: bō meaning "protect" or "defend," and gu meaning "equipment" or "tool." A set of bogu has four components:
A fifth component, sune-ate (脛当て) (shin protectors, or greaves), are worn by naginatajutsu practitioners.

Bagua
The bagua (Chinese: 八卦; literally: "eight symbols") are eight trigrams used in daoist cosmology to represent the fundamental principles of reality, seen as a range of eight interrelated concepts. Each consists of three lines, each line either "broken" or "unbroken," representing yin or yang, respectively. Due to their tripartite structure, they are often referred to as "trigrams" in English.
The trigrams are related to taiji philosophy, taijiquan and the wu xing, or "five elements". The relationships between the trigrams are represented in two arrangements, the Primordial (先天八卦), "Earlier Heaven" or "Fu Xi" bagua (伏羲八卦), and the Manifested (後天八卦), "Later Heaven," or "King Wen" bagua. The trigrams have correspondences in astronomy, astrology, geography, geomancy, anatomy, the family, and elsewhere.
The ancient Chinese classic, I Ching (Pinyin: Yi Jing), consists of the 64 pairwise permutations of trigrams, referred to as "hexagrams", along with commentary on each one.

Let me sit down and tell you what I'm talkin' about
Now what's somthin' you can imagine
So I don't have to explain
Oh, just picture the North Pole
Relaxin' in my chain and my girl
She's bad, so bad, whoa
Havin' a girl like Boog's gonna become the new fad
When you're walkin' to my house
You're gonna be given a map
'Cuz if you turn the wrong corner
You won't find your way back
But I'm sleepy now
So, I'm gone off the track
Bye, goodnight, holla

More ice than the North Pole
More karats than Bugs Bunny
This year forget the socks
And the Christmas tree

Ain't even hit the streets

Got an iced out chain that put a crick in my neck

With that doubled out kit
Too clean, fresh white, gangsta lean
You know how I do, when Inn get on the scene
Santa Claus, "SC" is what I call his name
He give me too much I think Santa got crazy
But anyways, thank you for all the gifts
I left them hot cookies, but just forget it

Red Chanel ski hat, plus a Cadillac
With diamond in the back
Sittin' on the scene with shiny gold D's
Oh, ice crush soda can
Chrome on the left hand
And a walkman, you got a walkman
When I got all this
Man I thought it was great
But I was bad this year
So Santa made a mistake
