Who is Bushido Martial Arts Supplies?


Bushido Martial Arts Supplies was established October 7, 1994 and has become Western Canada’s largest Martial Arts Manufacturer. We recognized Bushido had the world of opportunity to transform into your best choice martial arts and fight gear supplier in all of Canada and therefore we acquired the business in June 2008. There have been many challenges for us from renovating our warehouse and reception, redesigning our POS system, website and catalogue to rebuilding our inventory levels and implementing new processes and procedures.

 

We took over the business with an uninviting reception and a warehouse that was disorganized. It took us 4 months to rebuild our reception and warehouse shelving and bin systems. Now we have an inviting reception with our products on display as well as a completely organized warehouse and storage system where product management is efficient.

 

Even though we support the entire fight arena of sports, our core business is traditional martial arts and boxing. We aspire to always have stock of the products we offer. However due to the extremely wide range of our products it is impossible to have every product in stock all the time. If we are out of a product that you order we will follow-up and inform you before we ship.

During 2009 we are going to concentrate on building our inventory levels so that we can meet your needs with a continuous supply of our products.

We have introduced a ‘pick & pack’ system and a final inspection process before shipping occurs. If we have your email, you will receive notification of your tracking number.

We have also introduced our website and this catalogue that displays all our new products and images with descriptions and stock codes. By matching the stock code to your order we will improve communication and understanding of what products it is you wish to purchase.

We have implemented an aggressive ordering system that will minimize delays. All stocked orders are shipped within 24 hours (working days).

Because we stock substantial levels of inventory and with our great sourcing abilities, we can provide you a level of service and price that will be hard to beat.
