ARENA GETS BEHIND ITS ATHLETES WITH THE BISHAMON COLLECTION FOR THIS YEAR'S SPORTING SHOWDOWN
arena has invoked the warrior spirit and divine favour of Japanese tradition in the launch of a special new kit, the Bishamon Collection, to get behind its team at 2021’s premier sporting spectacle.
The Bishamon Story
One of the Seven Gods of Fortune in Japanese folklore, Bishamon (or Bishamonten) is an armour-clad warrior god, a guardian deity who protects and brings divine favour in battle. He carries a spear in one hand, and in the other a pagoda symbolizes a divine treasure house, whose contents he both guards and gives away. The Bishamon Collection honours this spirit, celebrating the fighter that exists in everyone, and supporting them with arena’s distinctive armour so that they can be at their very best during the heat of the battle, whether it’s in a global competition pool or a community centre training session. Examples of monuments to Bishamon in Japan today can be seen at Head Temple Kurama-dera in the Kyoto prefecture (https://www.kuramadera.or.jp/index.html), the Shigisan Chogosinshi-ji Temple in the Nara prefecture (http://www.sigisan.or.jp/english.html) and Hokaiji in the Kamakura prefecture (http://hokaiji.com/).
For the collection’s design, arena combined the Bishamon’s warrior expression with the pattern of his armour, Bishamon Kikko, which is inspired by the shell of a tortoise, representing longevity and good luck. The result is a design that symbolizes good luck and protection, with a singular ultimate goal: victory.
arena's Bishamon Collection includes two high-end competition racing suits – the Powerskin Carbon Glide and Carbon Core FX – along with the Take Down range of swimwear and accessories. In addition to the global collection in combinations of black, white, turquoise and grey, there are also five national versions of the Take Down range featuring the colours of Italy, Australia, the Netherlands, Great Britain and USA respectively.

Katinka Hosszú, Bishamon, and the ingredients necessary to claim the big prize
“I love the new Bishamon design! The underlying motif complements the Iron Lady character, who is herself a tough warrior that never gives up. Having this pattern on my chest gives me a mental strength that helps me to push through my races even when things don’t go as planned. Being mentally prepared means that I am able to overcome my fears, step out of my comfort zone and finish the race knowing that there was nothing left in me; I brought my best, the ultimate warrior out of me. “Physical strength is also part of my warrior makeup: the durability to get through the toughest training sessions, and being able to perform at my best under enormous pressure no matter what the circumstance. In this atmosphere self-confidence has an important role to play; it’s something I’ve developed over the years through continuous effort, hard work and dedication. “I don’t have a lucky charm; one of the reasons I love swimming is because it’s not about luck. Everything is black and white; each of us has our own lane in the pool, and we compete at the same distance and stroke. At the end of the race the athletic performance is measured in minutes and seconds which sets the final ranking. In a 400 IM race I need hard work, endurance and flawless technique as a substitute for luck.”

The Global Bishamon Offer: For the Race
arena's global Bishamon Collection features limited editions of the Powerskin Carbon Glide and Carbon Core FX racing suits. In elegant black with the stylized Bishamon-Kikko emblem in turquoise emblazoned on the front, the Carbon Glide and Carbon Core FX are arena’s flagship duo designed to help athletes perform at their very best, and are available in men’s jammers, and women’s full body open and closed back versions.
Powerskin Carbon Glide
The most advanced, sophisticated racing suit arena has ever designed, the Carbon Glide gives the swimmer a sensational underwater glide and feeling of speed unlike any other. This feature is delivered by two new advances, Hydroglide fabric and the Carbon Extreme Cage, which combine lightness and compression to deliver the ultimate experience in racing performance. Covering the front and lower back, the ultralight, low-profile Hydroglide is smooth to the touch, giving it incredible glide and speed, while also reducing drag and turbulence in critical zones. Covering the legs and lower torso, the similarly ultralight, low-drag Carbon Extreme Cage has carbon fibres woven into the fabric in a tight grid-like pattern surrounding specific muscle groups, providing exceptional muscle support and improved body hold to enhance performance without restricting mobility. The result is added stroke power and stability with optimum durability, flexibility, and efficiency. The suit also employs a unique taping structure, with carbon strategically infused into the woven lining to activate major muscle groups, thereby enhancing the swimmer’s feeling of support and body hold.
RSP women’s suits: €575,00
RSP men’s jammers: €395,00

Powerskin Carbon Core FX
The Carbon Core FX features the latest improvements to the highly successful Carbon Flex VX, and is the most compressive suit of arena’s comprehensive racing range. Providing a powerful locked-in feel along with exceptional core support, it uses the same Carbon Cage technology as its predecessor, delivering a high level of durable compression across all areas of the body. For these reasons the Carbon Core FX is likely to appeal to sprinters for its high level of compression and range of motion. The Carbon Core FX features a new Twin Taping structure on the back of the legs of both women’s suits and men’s jammers, providing a lifting effect on the legs that helps the swimmer to hold a high body position even when fatigued, giving maximum hip height in the water. In addition, the internal carbon fibre-infused lining on the women’s suit has been extended up the side of the suit with an incision just below the chest, providing multiple benefits: maximum compression and locked-in feel through the legs and torso; an additional, evenly-distributed pressure profile across the body; further improvement of core stability for an enhanced body position in the water with lower form drag; and improved upper body mobility, without compromising overall compression and support.

Cobra Ultra Swipe Mirror goggles
Supreme hydrodynamics and optimum vision combine in arena’s premium racing goggles. Revolutionary Swipe Anti-Fog technology – which is activated by a simple rub of the finger – preserves clear vision up to 10 times longer than before, so swimmers no longer have to be concerned with goggles fogging up. Sleek, watertight design with low profile lenses, high-tech moulding and blade-like contours minimize drag and improve glide, while lens curvature dramatically increases peripheral and frontal vision.

Adam Peaty, Bishamon, and the ingredients necessary to claim the big prize
“(Like warriors), I think athletes have both weaknesses and strengths, and recognising these is very important to become an even better athlete. I have a lot of patience, discipline and an unparalleled work ethic, and I use adversity to propel me forward, using it as motivation rather than seeing it as an obstacle. Mental angels and demons can also affect a professional athlete, especially those that have been at the top of the game for a long time. Mastering these is a long self-discovery journey, something that has no end but that is exciting as you are always learning about yourself. Looking forward to the Olympics, my self-confidence is at an all-time high, and this will be needed to do what I want to be able to do in this race. Containing the excitement and nerves is a big thing, but also embracing the Olympics for what they are is also huge; the potential to inspire millions, if not billions, of people around the world.”

Sarah Sjöström, Bishamon, and the ingredients necessary to claim the big prize
“We are all in a way warriors, me too. I don’t stop in front of difficulties, I'm eager to challenge myself and also to sacrifice (e.g. to train far from home) in order to win. I think I have both courage and discipline, which define my success. Building self-confidence is also a very important part of preparation, you have to believe in yourself, every single day. And you can’t train just physically, it’s not a full training program then. Meditation, mindfulness, long walks in nature, sauna, a good book, being in silence, #metime, good sleep every night etc., these are the tools that help me to balance moments of stress or nervousness. Being positive helps too: Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right (Henry Ford). Then finally the suit – I love the message of the Bishamon design of the racing suit, that the force comes from the core. I love the design and it does make me feel strong and confident.”

The Global Bishamon Offer: Take Down collections for patriots
For decades arena has sponsored athletes and national swimming federations in the promotion of the sport, and has been inspired by these collaborations to constantly innovate and strive to provide the best products on the market. In recognition of these fruitful partnerships, arena therefore decided to develop five additional Take Down ranges in the colours of stylized national flags for the following countries:
ITALY blue along with the national flag colours (green, white, red)
