Masamune Team's Advice:

  • Check the cord before and after training regularly.
  • After using Do, tie the Himo around it to dry flat.
  • If the Himo is twisted, feel free to unfold it and then iron it back to its original shape.
  • The cord will break in the striking or fastening areas.
  • Once the cord is damaged, it can't be repaired and must be changed.
