5 comments about Everlast EverGel Hand Wraps.

1. Reading the description makes it very clear these are good gloves, however nowhere does it specify they are for a woman. It wasn't until i realized they also sell them in pink that they are girls gloves, and naturally did not fit when they arrived.



2. I very seldomly purchase ANYTHING without first looking at reviews, and I do not understand why these got a bad rating. These gloves are a MUST HAVE if your in a rush and dont feel like wrapping your hands or tend to wrap too tight such as myself. I have always wrapped my hands and had my doubts about these gloves. I'm a VERY hard hitter and have busted knuckles even with gloves and hands wrapped. It got to the point where I had to take a hiatus from the heavy bag cause I was causing some pretty bad damage to my hands. When these first came in the mail, I knew for sure I was in for some trouble, they do not look like much, infact they almost look like they would guarantee a broken wrist, but these gloves have SAVED my hands. I would recommend to ANYONE. I spend anywhere from 12-13 hours a week on a bag and have yet to have a SINGLE problem with the gloves. The only thing I would suggest, and this goes with ANYTHING you buy on the internet, is you might want to go to a sports store and try on a pair to find out what size you need.



3. I used it TWICE... and mean TWICE!!! And they fell apart. And I'm just a girl punching a bag. Do not buy these never had a pair of gloves fall apart on me that fast.



4. I thought I had broken blood vessels in my knuckles from a simple boxing workout, by the way- I wore these under regular boxing gloves!! The dark red marks turned to bruising and lasted a little over a week. Just FYI, I am about 5'7" and 118 lbs., using them for a simple workout - not sparring or anything like that and they still didn't protect my hands. I returned them, hoping to get a refund & I ended up buying Harbinger brand at BIG 5 Sporting Goods store. Harbinger are more expensive (about $44, but I punch as hard as I want now, with full protection)! :) I don't know what anybody would use these for.



5. I use these for my kickboxing class, and as an alternative to bare hands for martial arts training. My first pair was destroyed in less than a week. My sister doesn't hit quite as intensely as I do, and after a month, hers are still in great shape - no tears or wear showing at the seams. These are designed for women, but if you don't "hit like a girl", they're not for you.

5 comments about TMAS Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes.

1. This is my second pair of Feiyue Martial Arts shoes and they are still kicking-butt. Cheep, durable and comfortable. Unlike Chuck Taylor high-tops, which would start ripping and coming apart at the seams for me, the only reason I had to replace my pair of Feiyue Martial Arts shoes was I had wore the tread out and the shoe had lost their bounce.
   
   The only problem I had when I bought my first pair was not knowing which size to get, but after a little trial and error (I only had to return one pair) I got the right pair, and my feet have been happy feet since.



2. I love the shoes. And I'm glad that I got them. UPS messed up my first order and said it was "delivered to my front door." However, the package with my shoes was never delivered. I called UPS and they said I had to contact the buyer to initiate an investigation to find the lost package. This could take up to 3 weeks. I contacted TMAS and they were very understanding, and, no questions asked, sent me a new pair of shoes the next day! I did not expect this kind of response and was very pleased. I received the shoes two days later. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.



3. the feiyue martial arts shoe is an amazing parkour shoe although it has little cushioning it holds up great against wall runs cat grabs and other movents like them. the shoe grip wears down fairly easily but when it is worn down the grip is still phenominal and the flexibility on the shoe is topo notch for balance and pricisions i would recommend these shoes for any EXPERIENCED tracuer



4. I mean really what more can you ask for in a pair of shoes that costs you 15 to 20 bucks. The shoes are great. I mean I only just got them but I love them. They are comfortable, they look good and they fit pretty good too. I do Parkour and Capoeira and I would recommend these shoes for both if you are unable to do them bear foot that is.
   
   For Parkour(freerunning) the grip is great on most surfaces. They are light wight and you really don't feel bad about beating the crap out of them. Like when you buy $100 Kswiss or $80 Pumas. The only thing I have been told is that you should think about getting an insole... But, I don't really think you need it.
   
   For Capoeira. It a pretty good shoe too (as far as a shoe goes in a primarily bear footed event). Light wight, easy to pack in your bag. Even looks good with your capi whites. The only down side to these shoes in Capoeira... Is well, the grip. It grips to well making some of the sliding and/or pivoting movement a bit harder. But still doable.
   
   I got my shoes very very quickly too. Which is a huge plus. You will love them. Just make sure to study that sizing chart very carefully first. If you are a "half" size you may want to go with the small of the two. Unless half of the time you are wearing an ankle brace or wrap like me. Then you may just want to get the bigger size.



5. I don't do Kung Fu or any other martial arts but I have to say these are nice shoes especially for the price. They have a lot of cushion and feel very comfortable. They're lightweight as well. I wanted shoes that were as minimal as possible but durable and these do fit the bill. The only two issues that others have stated too are the rubber smells and the soles are rounded. 2 thumbs up.

5 comments about Cat of Nine Tails Whip - Leather Whip.

1. I received this item as a gift and was amazed at the poor quality. As soon as I unpacked it the (very obvious) glue holding the wrapping around the handle let go and the wrapping began to unwind. I'm only glad that my gift giver didn't waste much money on this item. Although what was spent was wasted. Very, very shoddy work.



2. This is not my first cat-of-nine-tails whip but it is actually the best one for the money. I bought 2 of these to use as gifts and I ended up keeping one of them. This whip has a great handle/grip, very comfortable to hold great for long sessions. It is also well balance so it doesnt require a lot of aiming to hit the wanted spot. Also, what counts, Im receiving excellent feedbacks from the people at the other end of it. It delivers your message loud and clear at normal swing with a very good increase in...love as you increase the swing speed and force. This product delivers!



3. I appreciate the NEW whip that was sent in the place of the one that was damaged. The new whip is very good. I'm so happy that it arrived quickly and in excellent condition.
   
   Thank you.



4. The leather look, feel, smell and action is just what you'd expect from a well-crafted leather article. Very satisfied.



5. I just wanted to say thank you. we used this for an illustration during Easter and it was very effective. thanks and God bless

5 comments about Three Piece Black Ninja Kunai Dagger Set 6 1/2 Inch.

1. i recieved the knives fairly quickly, but when i got them, i noticed a couple of the knives were not in good condition. one was even chipped all the way one side up the blade. i am not satisfied with this, and am going to send them back.



2. Awesome for the cost. These lasted quite awhile considering how much they were used. Eventually, after bad throws, the tips might bend but that can be avoided with lighter throws (but definitely not weak ones) and a good choice of what you're throwing at. Don't throw them at wet wood, the tip of one of mine broke off when I tried it so I suggest you don't do the same. The string will most likely come off after awhile but it works completely fine without it. It just doesn't look as nice.
   
   Overall this product is:
   
   -Durable
   -Practical
   -Fun
   -Sharp tips but the sides are dull so you don't slice your hand while throwing.
   
   Rate: 5/5 stars Seller: Qswords (You get whats in the picture)
   
   DO NOT BUY FROM MARTIAL ARTS LAND. When I got these from that seller, they were thin little black "Kunai" that don't even have enough weight to be thrown and do not stick very well when you DO manage to throw them right.



3. i enjoyed the throwing for a bit. dont be disapointed if you cant get a few throws. i do have some complaints. the tips are hardly sharp the sides are not sharp at all and the string is always unraveling and its also turning into a mess at the end of the strings. so should you order this product? eh not really but just if you do dont be dissapointed. i told you didnt i?



4. For 9-10 bucks, these little things aren't too shabby. The black finish scratches and chips, but that is expected.
   
   The only drawback is the fact that the sheath says "Naruto" on it (one of those junk anime shows). I would never have ordered this if I knew it was affiliated with that. I dropped my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars.



5. unbalanced and way to small for any practical use. dont buy get cold steel or something else. this was a huge waiste of money

5 comments about High Quality Made In Taiwan Black Finish Professional Double Locking Handcuffs.

1. Very heavy, sturdy and a great deal. My girlfriend broke the first pair of cuffs I bought, but she can't do anything to these. I love the black finish, amazing cuffs.



2. Black is beautiful sometimes.
   
   These strong, safe and secure, and damned cute cuffs are a steal.



3. I bought the pink ones. I work with juviniles. And they are great! The price wasnt bad either!



4. Seems like a sturdy pair of cuffs. Exactly as explained. Came a little oily to protect from sea water during shipment which is easily taken care of by a quick soap water wash.
   Bought as a novelty gift, so could not comment on strength or other qualities.
   Great product.



5. For the price I'm happy with them.
   
   Size:
   The size between the hinge and the case is a little less than 2 inches, which for me means i cannot spin the cuffs around on my hand even when totally loose. I was thinking that i could put leather or something between one's wrists and the cuffs, but that would cause them to be even tighter, I may still try because they would be pretty uncomfortable for any amount of time.
   There are 2 links of chain, which results in your hands being pretty close together, its probably the standard length but i would have expected a slightly longer chain.
   
   Build:
   The teeth are sharp and exact, the piece that spins around wiggles only slightly (can pull it over to the edge of the case, but not run along side it, unless you bent something) Overall better quality than I'd expect for around ten dollars.
   The key seems solid as well, the pin on the end of it seems to be a different metal, probably harder.
   The chain does not seem very thick, just under 1/8 inch, so I would agree that in a law enforcement usage that might be the weak link.
   
   The paint isn't the best finish, I could not find nickle plated ones for this price, mine came with some nicks and scratches in the paint, so no clue how well it would hold up.

5 comments about Gymboss GB2010 HOT PINK SOFTCOAT.

1. Display is easy to read, hot pink color makes it easy to find when I've mislaid it. The clasp is very secure. I love that it uses "more common" batteries that I always keep on hand, so no special runs to the store to replace them.



2. So great for workouts! I recently started interval training and have seen awesome results. Wish I would have found out about this gadget sooner!



3. Best gadget I ever invested for interval training! I didn't have to invest a lot of money!



4. It works fine after you set yourself up to read the instructions.I agree with a lot of other people that that is one kind of a study. There is no possibility to go back in the programming. You have to go forward in a sequence over and over when you miss an entry you wanted to be changed. Also I find it not handy that you can't set up 2 time series. You have to reset your program for the second sequence. For example: 2 minutes interval for 6 times followed by 1 minutes interval by 6 times can't be done. You have to stop and reset the times!



5. This is such a great idea -- but instructions would have been incredibly helpful.
   
   Yes, I read the 3" piece of paper that was useless. Yes, I went to the website and watched the video. Yes, I downloaded the PDF.
   
   Hello? Press "next." Press "change." Not one button on this little guy is labeled. Not one. Try to watch the video and discern the buttons simultaneously. Good luck with that.
   
   Delivered without a battery. That was helpful.
   
   Threw it in a drawer. Buy a watch, you won't scream and it does the same thing if you look down now and then.

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

1. These handwraps are very short. 108" is not the ideal length and I was very unhappy to find this out. I would suggest a much longer handwrap. Especially if you're a beginner, like myself, you need much longer handwraps for the support because longer handwraps allow you to have cross-finger support as well as the much needed wrist support. DON'T BUY. GET LONGER HANDWRAPS!!



2. These wraps are very durable. The velcro on them started falling off after using them for a while but other than that they feel and look great. I even wore them to school! They were a little short but not that big of a problem if you are just messing around with your friends. Like i said, great product. Thanks for your time.



3. Great product. Small enough to fit into mma gloves and less material in your palm than the 180 inch wraps. This is naturally better for grappling. Obviously not meant for heavy bag use unless you also use your mma gloves too.



4. This set contains three sets of 108" Everlast Hand Wraps in Red, Black, and White colors. I was concerned about the shorter length of these since I have large to X-large hands and need to have good wrapping to support my wrists. These were just the right the size, covering my wrists and knuckles with several layers. While others have noted that the 180" length wraps provide better protection, I find that is too much material to have under my light gloves for heavy bag work and light contact sparing.
   
   The material is good quality and doesn't tend to bunch up on itself while wrapping. The built in "Thumb Loops" are very handy and does allow these wraps to be put on by yourself, which is a big plus, and the Velcro fastener is fairly long, providing a secure hold throughout a long workout.
   
   Recommended, with the above length caveat.

5. I have been boxing for about a year now, tried these wraps and they both tore apart after one sparring. I thought these would last much longer than one day, but after this I am down to two handwraps from the get go. So I am not sure how everybody else is holding up with their own but, all I know is I am staying away.

5 comments about M-Tech Folding Knife Stiletto Pocket Pearl Gray.

1. the action on this knife sucks, you need two hands to open it. not worth the postage to send it back!



2. This is a great knife for the price i reccomend toevery body
   PROS
   keeps edge
   stiletto style
   clip
   thumb studs
   
   CONS
   not a spring assissted



3. I personally returned the knife - though from the short time I had it, it seemed like a well built knife. Just for my needs, and style of knife wielding it wouldn't have been enjoyable for me to own.
   
   Pros:
   Real nice pearl gray handle finish.
   Sturdy, built in belt/pocket clip.
   Belt clip is built. So it hands "upside" down.
   Nice sharp/thin blade
   
   Cons:
   Gray metal portion of handle is dull compared to pearl gray lower portion.
   The "button" that opens the knife should be a bit larger. It doesn't standout well enough to make the opening of the knife smooth. So its a bit time consuming.
   The button to release the blade back into place is also small and sluggish. Which makes it a bit of a dangerous knife - If trying to open and close it in a quick gesture.
   
   These are the reasons why I returned the knife, but M-Tech is also the company that I'm ordering my next knife from. Because though I disliked this knife. The workmanship of the knife isn't flawed. Just the mechanics for me, didn't work well.



4. Bought the item due to the low price. Was pleasantly surprised to see that the blade was sharp and folded out correctly. After a month of usage as my pocketknife I found a piece of the handle which looks awesome btw, had broken off near one of the screws. Needless to say I was dismayed. The knife itself looked good, and it came sharp but having the handle fall apart was not good.



5. A very Good Knife for a CHEAP price! I was very happy with the M-tech but one flaw about this knife is that the screws came lose the first couple of days I got it,Also when I got this knife it was scratched!?! I mean like what the hell but there are some great things about this knife I love, like the style also once you learn how to open it with one hand it looks pretty cool and you can show off your knife skillz to your friends. Plus the stiletto was used by the mobs so if you want a stabing knife this is a great buy.

5 comments about 2 pc. Throwing Knife Set.

1. I just got these knives a couple hours ago. They are so far extremely good knives. They are a good weight and size and just feel great in the hand. These are already some of my favorites. I would suggest these to anyone who enjoys quality throwing knives. I have already ordered a second set.



2. I ordered these as a gift for my brother-in-law. They arrived VERY quickly and were better than expected! I had read the other reviews so I felt confident with my order, my only concern was as to whether or not they came with the nylon holder that is in the picture, there is no mention of it in the product description or in the other reviews. When the package was delivered I was pleased to find that it did indeed include the nylon case for storing the knives (2 separate slots so they don't rub on each other), it also has a belt loop hole so you can carry them around with you when in use. The knives themselves are wonderful! They are a great size, heavy, evenly weighted, and overall have a nice and sturdy appearance. I am very pleased with my purchase, so much so that I will be ordering a set for myself very soon!
   
   Note: Amazon offers this same set and it has free shipping included, look closely at the price...these end up being about a buck or more cheaper even with the shipping costs and they were shipped to me within about 3 days! I was hesitant to order from an outside company because Amazon is so good about fast shipping, but, I am glad that I chose this route and saved myself a few bucks :)



3. The knives came as advertised in the picture, two knives and a sheath with belt loop. 9 inches long, with a 5 inch blade, made of decent metal. After an hours worth of them hitting the cement after bouncing off of wood (due to my not knowing what i am doing) the tip bent slightly. Obviously the metal is not military grade steel or anything but a quick whack with a hammer set it back perfectly and they still work good as new. They were/are cheap and definitely worth buying.



4. I'm very new to throwing knives and these are the first ones that I have perchaced. They preform very well using the no spin way of throwing. In two days of practice I can hit a tree from 15 or 20 feet. They are very well made and 8.5". I would recomend these to anyone who wants to try throwing knives.



5. these knifes came in 2 days. they arived in perfect condition and even after extensive use the still are in perfect condition. they came rasor sharp. once they even collided with another one of my knifes and it sliced a chunk of metal right off of the other knife's handle. they stick in the target every time ,even in hard wood. best purchase you'll ever make!

5 comments about 21" Expandable Steel Baton with Holster.

1. The baton is well built and works with little difficulty straight from the box. The black cushioned handle allows for a firm non-slip grip useful when flicking your wrist to extend the baton or in actual defensive use. This device could also be used in the retracted position as a jabing or punching device as long as you used the but of the handle; using the front of the baton may jam the extension posts. To extend the baton, a moderate downward swing will allows the baton to reach its full length. Striking the fully extended baton at a 90 degree angle to the floor will cause the baton segments to loosen so that may slide back into the handle. So far, no inadvertent deployment when casually holding or rocking the handle. The holster is flimsy, but useable. Leather type holsters are available from third party suppliers.



2. This is my second expandable baton I've ever used but my first to own. It feels extremely sturdy and unbreakable. Although, I wouldn't do any testing on real hard surfaces. I bought this strictly for self defense. The rubber grip is awesome and the metal butt end makes for a great window/glass breaker even if you don't own the "Bust-a-cap". The only problems I've had with this is upon expanding the baton, a lot of force is needed in order to fully expand it until it is stiff. Half of the time, I will flick it out and it will feel loose and you can feel some play. But if you give it a real hard flick, it will expand all the way till it's stiff. My buddies china baton expanded all the way out after flicking it with less force. Other than that, this is a real great product for it's price and I would most definitely buy a second, and even recommend it, for its price.
   
   Also, shipping came after 3 days of ordering, nice and fast. Like the previous reviewer stated, you get a flashlight keychain if you buy from security pro USA.



3. For the price this is a well built solid baton, I am not sure how it would hold up in a survival situation but just holding it and giving it a few good swings makes you feel confident. Will take some getting used to flipping the baton out but once you practice a little it is no problem. I have read reviews where people have had problems getting it to retract to closed position. This was also a problem for me but easily solved, I used a little olive oil and that helped get it closed. You will have to jam it down into a solid surface (cement), It might take a few tries. Rubber grip is good. The baton would stand as a good deterrent for a would be attacker. For the price and good function of this baton I would say it is a good buy.



4. I to date have only had this thing for bout two hours, and I am absoloutly tickled pink about this death blowing skull crusher of a baton. It sticks out of pockets just a teence but since I don't personally tuck my shirts in it's fairly unnoticeable. The entire baton extended feels very sturdy the way a claw hammer might feel. Negligible collapse issues(just need to show it who's boss when collapsing.) The black coating of the cap at the end will scratch off, and create metal scrapage if you lock it back using concrete or such. It does rattle some what, but nothing anyone can't pass off as noise from a maglight with batteries. Further more, the handle has an attractive rubbered diamond pattern slip(like a bike grip.) Item came with a nylon stop belt pouch that was a little to small...I personally am not fond of it and don't intend to use it. When I had bought this item I had figured this 21" model would be enough reach and that any larger model would have sway. This thing is just long enough for both practicality and concealabilty, albeit, I'm so confident of this items sturdyness that I was quite angry that I did not order the "31" Black Steel Expandable Baton." Be warned this thing is a 3-4 pound _HAZARD_ to safety, and would not be surprised if any cop busted you one irregardless of state or age if you were caught with it, due to it's observable ease to fracture skulls, break bones, shatter spines and joints, paralyze, or kill. NOT A TOY.



5. This baton is exactly what I was looking for: I wanted a rugged device as a last-resort defense in my apartment, so that I wouldn't need to fights with my bare hands if the worst should happen. I wanted something a little more maneuverable and damaging than a wooden bat that would also be easy to keep by the bed. This compact tool provides me with all of that and thus gives me an additional sense of security at night. It's around 7-8 inches when retracted and fits discretely on my night stand. The rubberized grip is comfortable and the weight balance just right.
   
   The 21-inch size is perfect for extending my reach to keep anyone away from close-quarters combat; it is designed to swing across the body of an approaching aggressor (i.e., downwards from your shoulder at a 45-degree angle), hitting whatever extremity is out in front (fingers, arm, knee, shoulder etc). With any strength behind a swing that connects, there is no question that real damage will be done (e.g., bones breaking, tearing up a knee) and he will be neutralized. Although the baton isn't designed to kill, I also have no doubts that a solid blow to the head could prove lethal.
   
   As others mention, there is probably something to the idea that the sound and look of this thing will intimidate would-be attackers, like when you're outside and approached by someone. There's a near-zero chance I'll ever find out whether this is the case, though.
   
   All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase. This thing feels like it could last forever. Once extended, it is locked firmly in place and can be used without fear of it collapsing at a crucial moment. I find it a little difficult to retract, but this may be because I have yet to really break it in.
