kendo gear normally has to weigh equal to your own body weight though most of the weight comes from the armor itself.

Ahhh. So legitimate Kendo armor! That's nifty, I've always thought that it was difficult to do that kind of stuff. 

My gear usually consists of a Kevlar Helmet, IBA flak vest/bulletproof plates, a thirty pound rucksack, a 20 pound Field Surgeon's kit, Four 30-round magazines, one loaded in an M4A1. M9 Sidearm with Two Magazines, one loaded.
