5 comments about Everlast EverGel Hand Wraps.

1. Bought these as gift for my 13 year old son. He says they are comfortable and work well. He uses them when working out with the WaveMaster freestanding punching bag.



2. I wish I had read the reviews here before I bought these wraps this week. I've used them three times for moderate work on a heavy bag and they are already coming apart along the knuckles. I figure they may last another 2-3 weeks before I have to toss them.



3. Yeah these are good wraps but if you're looking for something similar to work a bag with try MMA style gloves.



4. Nice considering the price. I bought these for my 9 year old son to hit a 60lb heavy bag. He likes them and doesn't complain about any part of them. They have held up fairly well for several months now.



5. When I first got these they felt great. They worked great too, but the seams on the wrist started to tear after a couple of weeks of use. I started to tape around the wrists but the fringe of the torn seams became uncomfortable. Had they been more durable I would have given them 5 stars.

5 comments about 40" Kendo Wooden Bokken Practice Samurai Sword Katana.

1. Bokken is flimsy and looks as if it will break easy, and the laquor will scrape off. I have three other "real" bokken and this doesn't compare at all to those.
   
   I would not recommend using this in any real practice. All show, no go.
   
   Great big "made in China" sticker on the box too.



2. These are well constructed practice swords that have survived all my workouts as well as being transported to Baghdad and back again in my luggage... Sword Demon provides outstanding service and was very responsive to my queries.. An excellent combination.



3. very very thank you th sword is beautifull I make an special place for her
   
   thank you



4. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1M4TQZCHZESMT This is a video of me describing the practice sword after a little use.



5. This sword is worth the money. It has a beautiful look to it. However, the finish will not stand up to constant abuse from practice. I've only had mine for 2 hours and it is pretty scratched up. I would recommend this sword for some one who wants to practice alone, or wants to hang something beautiful on their wall. Regardless of the finish problems, it is a very strong sword. It is lighter than some of the other practice swords but doesn't vary in its ability to attack back.

5 comments about Everlast 4214 Leather Speed Bag (10"x7").

1. This was a gift for my son and he really liked it. It seemed very well made and of good quality.



2. it even came in a bag...i was most impressed. Enough said ....I love products from everlast...they have never disappointed.



3. This bag is the one to have ,I got the cheap 6pc.bag set and changed the swivel and now with this bag it rebounds close to the gym speedbag .The first time i hit this bag in the store i knew it was the right one, Made me look like a Pro



4. I'm just learning speed bag technique. I liked this bag because it is very balanced and easy to hit.



5. The bag isn't a good as I thought it was...very rough on the hands. The last bag I used I could easy use it without wraps...this one is much harder and rougher. It is a step up from the last bag, but you may want to look at other options.

5 comments about Black Finish Professional Double Locking Handcuffs.

1. You get what you pay for. These cuffs would be great for the bedroom and could even be used as perhaps an emergency spare set for real arrests. They are better than the toy cuffs you would find in many stores, but not as heavy duty as the kind most police use (Smith & Wesson). Considering the low price I give them 4 stars, but if you are looking for a pair for daily law enforcement work, you should buy a better and higher quality pair.



2. This is a very good set of REAL cuffs. Sure they might not be the same as what an official of the law would use. But these are definately not "toys" from the typical sex store. Great fun, But yet another warning like others have said before.... Be careful...this is the real deal. You better really know and trust your partner.



3. While the price was right the quality was a bit lacking.This item was just slightly above dime store quality. But after all you get what you pay for.



4. this is a great product. i got it very fast.i ordered 2 of them and they work greatBlack Finish Professional Double Locking Handcuffs



5. I Think These Handcuffs Are Pretty Aweasome For Handcuffing Real People And They Are Double Locked And Black So Thats Aweasome For Handcuffing Someone Mean Or Rotten.I'm Getting These Friday July 3rd 2009.I'll Enjoy Them To Be Trainig With.I'm Turning 13 And I Want To Be A Cop When I Grow Up So Yeah There Be Good For Me To Train With.

5 comments about Wushu Shoes (Feiyue Brand) -.

1. These are a really nice pair of shoes, I teach kickboxing, mostly outdoors and wanted a good lightweight shoe with flexibility, these are perfect. I also wear them casually and people comment on how cool they are !!!!! Good deal, I'm hip and comfortable :)



2. I recently ordered a pair of these shoes from Martial Arts mart via Amazon. I received a black pair of slippers and am waiting to see if they will replace them with the shoes I ordered. I will keep you posted.



3. I ordered these shoes to use for parkour training because of the grip. When my shoes arrived they had an incredibly potent and disgusting chemical smell. It gets on my socks and my hands. I could barely stand to be around them long enough to lace them up. They are sitting outside on my porch right now because they contaminate any room that they are in. None of the other reviews have mentioned this, so it could be a one time defect. I really hope the smell goes away, because they seem like excellent shoes otherwise and they cost very little.



4. great price for it and especailly when it's free shipping. I know they come in different color aside from black and white. hopefully the vendor will consider selling it on-line. thanks



5. For years I looked at these shoes and thought they were tacky. Then I reaqd an article about how they were worn at the olympic demonstrations and were now to be produced and sold for $65 in NYC. I immediately thought, "gee, I should try them while they are still cheap." I bought a pair for myself, my gf, her son and my son. I practice and teach taijiquan, I love these shoes for any outdoor practice that I do. They are so tacky looking that they are sort of cool, they wear well, and feel great to use. I even wear them casually now. For the price, they are the best shoe that a martial artist can buy. Who doesn't love a good shoe for $15. I am now collecting them in multiple colors.

5 comments about Black Cord Wrapped Boken Daito Wood Practice Sword.

1. A decent item for extremely light use. Use with any regularity more often then extrememly light results in the "cord wrap" sliding around and falling off; leaving a a very sticky glue film behind. Very light in weight though, so anyone can use it.



2. its hard wood, its black, it hurts when you get hit with it, it's perfect



3. After buying a few katanas from this site awhile back, I quickly realized that I needed a practice one to hone my technique so that I would feel more confident when it came time to handle a real one. I decided that this bokken katana would suit my needs. It recieved many positive reviews and it was also cheap. It arrived in less than a week and I immediately fell in love with it. I was amazed at how similar this sword felt compared to my real ones. Before I bought this sword, I couldn't get my real katanas to sing when I swung them, but afterwards, I feel much more confident in handling them and they sound like they are supposed to. This sword is excellent for practicing swings and other techniques such as stances. I would not recommend it for sparring sessions, though, as when I hit a low ceiling while practicing one day, I slightly damaged it (Nothing major, just a small chip, and the ceiling took most of the damage anyway). One major complaint I have is that the cord on the handle has begun to unravel after frequent use, making the sword difficult to use once my hands become sweaty. Still, I recommend it because it allows me to become more comfortable when using my real katanas.



4. My brother and I have three of these swords. The paint chips easily though so I recommend the wood kind. One of our black swords is almost completely white because of this. Overall great sword. You can go all out and wont break them. They are a good weight and great for practicing.
   Don't buy the black! just by the natural because there is no paint to chip. costs the same but looks so much better. But if you already have a black sword and you get this, then it leaves black marks on it. That doesn't look horrible though



5. Great sword. Has a hard durable finish so you can spar with your friends and not hurt it. Pretty good weight for a sword.

5 comments about Century The Original Wavemaster Freestanding Training Bag.

1. This bag is great for beginners or for those that don't like to go as hard as they can. Although they claim 250lb or more in the base, it moves quite a bit. On concrete, where I have it in the back yard, it makes a lot of noise. But, it's a great bag, and can take whatever you throw at it. Make sure you wear gloves, in the first 15 minutes after I got it, I tore my knuckles apart punching it.



2. The Century Wavemaster is a decent piece of equipment. I practice Muay Thai with it and it allows me to practice roundhouse kicks and knees for accuracy and power. The adjustable height allows me to adjust my focus in workouts. I wish there was a way to load the weight platform with solid sandbag is just of just free sand or water. Filling it with the necessary 200+ lbs. can be a bit time consuming. This gripe is minor and I am happy with the product.



3. This is a very good product. I bought it for my son and it works very well for him.



4. This is a great product and is serving its purpose very well. My daughter and I are into Tae Kwon Do and use this to train with. My only recommendation is to make sure to put the full 230 lbs of sand in the base for stabilizing. Great product.



5. I first filled my Wavemaster with water. It leaked constantly out of the cap that covers the fill hole. Plus it moved an inch or so every time i kicked it. So I'd have to work it from one angle until it had creeped across the room and then go work it from the other angle to get it back to the starting point. Later I filled it with sand. Much better. I had some rakes leaning against it in the garage for about a year. The pound or so of pressure actually BENT it!! It actually has a 5 degree bend in it from the pressure of some RAKES leaning against it!!!

5 comments about Everlast 4455-3 3-Pk. Hand Wraps.

1. I'm a 5'2 female so my hands and wrists are pretty small, but these wraps are still way too short to complete the directions that they came with. The material is good so I still use them, but I have to cut way too many corners, so I'll still need to get another set. Good for young teens I guess.



2. They are ok. One pair started coming apart, but that might just be from good ol' fashion hard training. I think I would prefer the mexican wraps. I prefer for my wraps to come up higher on my arm, but that is just my preference.



3. These would be best suited for a child, woman or a man with very small hands. Offered little protection and coverage. Was not very satisfied and they are now sitting in a box in my home gym while I use other ones.



4. The 3 pak hand wraps are a great value. It works out well for my classes to have the extras on hand so I am not always ordering them for my members. My students seem to like the different colors, but being that they are all female, would like to see pink, blue and yellow!!!



5. The good:
   > This product has the everlast logo on it, making it brand attractive.
   > dries out fast
   > colour does not run
   > slightly stretchable
   > bundle of 3 pairs makes it ship to ship
   
   The bad:
   > at 104 inches (264 cm), this wrap is quite short
   > the everlast logo is not centered, which reflects on the quality and care in the making
   > material stretches out unevenly

5 comments about Century Wavemaster XXL Training Bag.

1. I have tried out both this XXL Bag and the Bob Dummy. While the Bob Dummy looks pretty cool and the initial punching is fun you soon find that you are limited. With the XXL Bag you can move all the way around the bag and keep punching. Also you can use leg kicks, knees, and elbow strikes. In my opinion the XXL bag is also softer on the hands. The Bob Dummy does allow you to use uppercuts which is nice to have. The XXL does not allow for uppercuts. I think there is an extension that you can buy that attaches in order to do uppercuts. The XXL that I bought does not have any number targets painted on it but I intend to come up with something to put targets on it..ie Maybe a marker, or tape, or something along this line. It would be cool to have both the XXL and the Dummy, but the XXL will give you a better overall workout.... My $.02



2. Purchased this for Muay Thai practice and i'm very impressed. It seems to be stable (not move as much as others I have kicked in the past) and offers a great training session because of its design. Would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to work on kicks (especially those to the legs etc...).



3. This punching bag was one of my presents for my 13th b day. im kinda young sooo plz listen cause all i have to say is that this is the most amazing punching bag ever. like i said im 13 and you wont even need gloves to punch this bag. and speaking of the durability, it is outragiously outstanding. it does not move 1 inch if you punch it. my parents punched it and it still didn't move.but maybe like 2 milimeters or so... but not that much. thats how good it is. i suggest to fill it up with water because you're going to be spending up too $100 on sand... sooo i reccomend this bag to people of 10-99 years of age. best you'll ever buy. its also good for kicking boxing even if ur not a kick boxer. and for boxing people as well. THE END. thank you for reading my novel/reccemondation lolz. jk :D I REALLY LOVE THE BAG!!!!!!!no joke -.-



4. For an inanimate "sparring partner" nothing beats a good hanging heavy bag, but if one has no place or means to hang a heavy bag then this is a decent substitute.
   Complaints: One, it isn't near as firm as a heavy bag -- almost like punching a big pillow. Works okay for speed and form, but doesn't assist much with developing power.
   Two,it moves around too much. (Advice -- fill the bottom with sand instead of water).
   Otherwise, it's okay for a home gym with limited options.



5. Well, the item is nice... But is it what i was supposed to get?
   
   First of all, the writing and such on the bag itself is not the same as the image shown with the WaveMaster written vertically on it... I got the one with the circular looking logo... Both say WaveMaster XXL but I don't know if there really is a difference so I haven't created an issue out of it. Yet.
   
   Secondly, the packaging was crappy... Granted it's huge and the bag part probably wouldn't need padding, the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Suppose the base was punctured or something? There was no padding in that box either. See the link for the bag i actually got at CENTURY INC 20028463 Wavemaster XXL Black

5 comments about Everlast 4455BP Hand Wraps.

1. I needed some good hand wraps for the punching bag, and with the name EVERLAST printed on the cotton made material, I knew what I was getting. With a name sure to last, Im please with this product.



2. Everlast is a master of its craft. I highly recoomend these wraps! I purchased two packs and completely and utterly satisfied. Thank you amazon!



3. I use these wraps for boxing, kickboxing, and an 'MMA on the Bags' class. I'm very happy with them. They're nice and thick (I'm not fond of those skinny, flimsy wraps) so I get great coverage and the thickness also gives extra support for my skinny wrists, and allows them to keep their shape. Because of their thickness, I can also use them as a knee or ankle support. I recommend these wraps to any boxer.



4. these wraps are great. If you need longer wraps go for the Mexican style wraps. My hands are a bit smaller so it's fine for me. Definitely helps protect my hands when I hit the heavy bag. You definitely need wraps if you're going to do that.



5. I bought these hand wraps for my son and he is very happy with them.
