I have a Windy version that's $109.00 Retail and worth every penny. It really protects you from some wicked punches and kicks. I really only use use it when we're doing multlple attack defense (ussually at Black belt promotions) since the "attackee" always seems to lose it on the attackors (me).

Great article. Thanks!

I know that the one aspect I really like about my double is that when you get clipped in the lower jaw by a hook or kick (moving sideways) the jaw is protected. More specifically, I no longer have to worry about not being able to chew my food (i.e. jaw is sore/swollen) after taking a glancing...

Bought a pair of Vibrams last Friday (has to travel a ways to find a store that stocked them) and wore them to a 3 hour Krav seminar on Saturday. I found them to be great except that I apparently have very short stubby little (baby) toes that would not go in their slot/pouch deep enough and kept...

I'm 49 and have been doing martial arts for 30 years. I still kickbox a couple times a week with a variety (in age & experience) of training partners. I get a kick out of the looks and comments I get from friends that are my age, way out of shape and think I'm nuts for getting in a ring and...

I guess my question would be why waste the time, money and energy on vinyl Everlast gloves (why exactly did you buy them in the 1st place?)? Throw them out and get even a marginal pair of leather and you'll be way better off.

I don't know John and have not purchased from his company. However, he has been around a while, there are no reports that I see that he has "ripped anyone off", and he seems to be trying to communicate and do the right thing. Let's take a breath and cut him a bit of slack. Delivery times for...

Great review. Thanks you.

I think you need to focus on some hard cardio to diffuse your stress and anger as I'm not sure that weight training is going to do it for you. I agree with Knuckle that aggression can be used during your weight training but stress and anger may actually hurt your ability to stay focused, have a...

I think Century (god help me) makes a product called the "Cornerman Bag Stand" that I've seen in karate schools and seems to fit what you are looking for.

I thought that Title and Ringside were under common ownership now? Or was that Combat Sports & Ringside - does anybody remember?

I wouldn't worry about weight at your age - any extra will come off quickly. However, I'd eat a pretty lean diet with lots of veggies and if you must exersize try swimming arms only.

I think the colors are cool too but they do seem expensive relative to other options. I can't remember seeing in your posts if you've ever reviewed/tried the Gorilla Gear Gloves (Did you)? I think they are going to be my next frivolous equipment purchase.

I'm lucky in that I can see OK and prefer to spare without my glasses or contacts. However, before I discovered this I did wear them (soft) while training and they stayed in OK. There are certainly times when they would get moved around - when you take a glancing type (or a poke) blow to the...

I looked at the video and it looked ... like it worked well. Although I'd bet that the protection is from the cup (which it doesn't look like you can buy yet) not the shorts which at $75.00 per pair seems a bit steep.

I totally agree. Trapping & countering ... hmmm seems like that may actually work in real life - like in a real self defense situation.

I currently use the Avantguard cheek and face TOP TEN Avantgarde Bayflex Training Cheek and Boxing Martial Arts Kickboxing Karate Thai Kwon Do Head Guard which I prefer to the Olympia Full protection. Mainly because I don't like how the chin protection is set up. In pictures it looks like...

I really believe (as do many other here) that The Top Ten is the way to go. Here is a review that was done here in Sherdog: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f67/top-ten-head-gear-review-1239869/ I've used the Top Ten for years and so do most of my sparring partners. If it is sized and put on...

In all seriousness - I'd rethink the gym & instructors that your training in/with if they really believe and say that. Time to find someplace new with folks that have a clue.

Excellent Suggestion!
