TOO MUCH KANJI isn't just a name.
At first glance, it looks like a rash guard covered in random Japanese characters.
It isn't.
Every character on this garment was chosen for a reason.
Inspired by the Japanese legend of Hoichi the Earless, whose body was covered with sacred writing for protection, TOO MUCH KANJI is designed as a modern combat-sport talisman.
Wear it. Train hard. Keep moving forward.

THE STORY BEHIND THE INK
Long ago, according to Japanese folklore, a blind musician named Hoichi was protected from spirits by having sacred text written across his body.
That story inspired this collection.
Not because we believe ink has magical powers.
But because every athlete needs something that reminds them to stay focused, stay calm, and keep showing up.
BUILT THE SPARS WAY
At SPARS, protection isn't about avoiding hard training.
It's about training tomorrow.
TOO MUCH KANJI represents the same idea:
Protection. Discipline. Consistency.
Because progress only matters if you can keep coming back to the mats.
