4 comments about Foam Ball Bearing Nunchaku.
- The foam is just soft enough so you don't hurt yourself. I used this type at a seminar and the ball bearing is easier to use than the ones with rope. The rope doesn't allow for a good range of motion like the ball bearing. These are good for beginers to use and to also practice Katas with.
- The main benefit you will find is its softness and lightness that make it a great tool for training purposes, be sure you will be able to develop speed with no harm probability and will have a nice piece too.
The ballbearing system give you better motion range and control, the smooth uncoated black material and the dragons printed on it gives an elegant look to your training and demostrations.
- I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to use.
It's much better then the heavy wooden/steel ones for beginners because these ones wont send you to the hospital if you hit your head while training! <-Is a major +!!!!
lol
No cons at all
- +foam padded so you don't hurt yourself
+metal chain and swivels are more durable than corded ones
+cheap
-doesn't weight the same as a real nunchaku
-foam padding occasionally slides down a little
-one handle of mine is slightly bent

5 comments about Ninja Utility Belt.
- i is a very good product. the pouches are fake leathery type material instead of sewn stuff, which was a pleasant surprise. the buckle is sound, and the belt itself is of good quality. the puches shift around a bit, but you can take them off, arrange them how you want, and sew them in place in under five minutes. i took off the smallest pouch to put my sword there. IN MY EYES the only downer is that the velcro (whilst good and strong) is too noisy to be truly stealthy. replacing it with magnetic holds was time consuming, but worth it. overall, good stuff.
- The velcro is a bit problematic. It is way too loud and also can cause the belt to frey. The pouches also slide around unless you use the placement straps, and even those only help to a certain extent.
Overall, though, the belt is exactly what I was looking for. Sturdy, no risk of things falling out, and easy to adjust. Just a few changes to the make of it would make it perfect.
- This was part of a gift for my son. He believes that he is a ninja, so the belt completed the outfit.
- This is the cutest utility belt ever. I got it for a friend who acted like a ninja, and now she actually looks like one. Thanks.
Note: know that the pockets of this utility belt are closed by velcro, which if you're creeping in the shadows, or in a air duct, will INFACT get you caught. Just a thought.
- If you actually would like to receive the item you purchased do not buy from this company !
The parcel if you lucky enough for it to even arrive at all will get to you weeks after the promised delivery date and once it actually arrives the documentation is in such disarray as to prevent you from actually claiming it from the post office...
I have to say you guys certainly left an impression on me ! I will never do any form of business with you again !

5 comments about 2 Natural Bokens Wood Practice Swords, Wooden Daitos Training Katana.
- This bokken feels heavier than my Japanese white oak bokken. It simulates the weight of a live blade katana made for tameshigiri (test cutting) more accurately. The sticker on the wrapping says it's "red oak" but I'm not sure if it's American red oak, Japanese red oak, or other. The description on here says it's just a generic hardwood. It's beautiful because it's highly figured but it's not suitable for all swordsmanship practice. It would be a nice display piece without the tsuba (hand guard). The tsuba is ugly and mine is bent so it's rippled around the edge.
I'd recommend it for solo cutting/kata practice but not for partner practice where it would have contact with another bokken, due to the grain of the wood not following the curve of the "blade" and/or knots (both of which create weak spots). For partner practice, I'd recommend a Japanese red oak (aka kashi) bokken at the very least or a Japanese white oak (shiro kashi) bokken which is more durable than Japanese red oak but is more expensive.
Even though bokken are safer than live blades, if they are swung with enough force they can break bones or cause internal bleeding (hence the warning in the description), so be careful. Think of them as skinny baseball bats and treat them as if they were live blades.
- I just got these swords today, and already I love them. They feel even weighted compared to my steel katanas, and from what I see they seem sturdy enough to last a long time. Only complaint was putting the rubber slip to the plastic tsuba took longer then I wanted. Also, the shipping was faster than estimated, which is a big plus.
- The moment i saw the box for these in my portch i was extatic, and when i got them out they were more than i expected. they fit comfortably in your hands and are the weight is as good as could be asked.
They accuelly come with one painted and one natrual stained, they are American Oak (witch is easily told by the natural one)
As for use, i havnt had a chance to try them with a partner yet, but they seem solidly built and tight grained, they should be able to handle coming into contact with eachother easily.
one downside is that the package comes with ALOT of packing peanuts, but otherwise no complaints
- I am 12 years old, and I like the two bokkens I got for my birthday. They are nice and solid and are good to practice with before you get a real sword. I reccomend that you get this product if you want a good practice sword.
- It was a worthy purchase on these two bokkens. The price was great and it sure beats using a makeshift stick. There was a free gift included as well--- something that remained in the martial arts vain.
Thanks!

5 comments about TKO 502C All Purpose Canvas 100-Pound Heavy Bag.
- Bought this for the girlfriend so she can practice her Karate at home. She loves it! Great quality, great deal.
- I purchased this for my husband and he loves it. I had been searching for one for some time. This one was so reasonably priced. It appears to be well-made and exactly what he was wanting.
- I SHOPPED A LONG TIME FOR A HEAVY BAG. I LOOKED AT ALL THE TOP BRANDS. WHAT SHOULD I PURCHASE? WATER FILLED OR SAND FILLED OR NOT FILLED AT ALL. SHOULD IT BE COVERED IN VINYL, CANVAS OR NYLON, I HAD NO IDEA. I KNEW THE NAME TKO AND IT WAS THE LOWEST PRICED ( I KNOW ), BUT I LUCKED OUT. THIS BAG IS GREAT. THE BAG IS MADE OF CANVAS WITH A LITTLE NYLON RUNNING THROUGH IT. I'AM NO EXPERT, BUT I THINK VINYL IS MORE PRONE TO SPLIT THAN THE CANVAS OR NYLON. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED HOW WELL IT WAS MADE AND HOW GREAT IT LOOKS. IT IS FILLED WITH SOME TYPE OF SAND AND THE SEAMS AND ALL THE STITCHING ARE WELL DONE. I'AM GLAD I CHOSE THE 100 LB BAG, IT DOESN'T MOVE AROUND MUCH AND I WEIGH 220. IF IT DOES SWING TO MUCH FOR YOUR TASTES, IT HAS A RING ON THE BOTTOM THAT CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR. ANOTHER NICE FEATURE NOT ALL BAGS HAVE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THIS I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE A BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE. IT MAKES GETTING IN SHAPE FUN. BUY THIS BAG... YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
- If you want to perfect your boxing skills and get a great workout at the same time, this is the heavy bag for you. You'll be sweating like a sweathog after only about 20 minutes of punching and kicking. Excellent for a person who lacks a lot of time. Be sure to follow instructions and wrap your hands with handwrap first before putting on the gloves. In the long run, doing this will save your hands. Never hit the bag without hand protection.
The price is great and you can't beat free shipping. It would have cost me an extra arm and a leg for shipping 100 pounds to Hawaii. And believe it or not, I received the bag in one week. You can't go wrong with this one! This is a quality item. Get one now before they decide to charge for shipping!
- I bought this punching bag to release some pain and anxiety from my past and caused by my future, this has helped me do just that. Though life is hard it is worth breathing. I am soo glad God led my steps to this punching bag and most importantly to him. Though in a hundred years having this punching bag wont matter, I'm so glad I have him and he has me. God bless who ever reads this. Amen

5 comments about 1 Black and 1 Natural Wooden Bokens set of 2 Training Swords.
- I was impressed with the quality of these Bokens. The natural wooden boken is very heavy and solid, it has the weight and feel of a metal sword. The black boken is very lightweight but still quite strong. I wouldn't recommend hitting anything very hard with the black one though, as it does seem like it could break pretty easy. The black sword is good for practicing swings as it's very light, the natural wooden sword is great for actual combat practice. The tips of the swords are quite pointy so that's something to take note of.
These training swords measure around the same length as a normal sword. Very nice for practice!
- If you're practicing your sword skills or your parents wont let you buy a sword,then buy this.Its great for the price and it delivers well.You can practice with a friend and if he/she hits you,it wont hurt much.You may also purchase a kendo for practicing.If you need help on anything contact me to:jeancarlo@libertypr.net or tenchinkurio@hotmail.com
I have a message for the Isuishi Clan:Mr.Hamagate cancelled the budokai for personal reasons.We will meet in Hasure's house in Kyoto at dusk,bye.
- This product is as advertised. Both Bokens are usable and
suit my purpose for practice, and the price was right. I would do business again with this vender and delivery was quick.
- Shipping was FAST and both came in perfect condition. My wife and I will be practicing Aikido with them and this set is Perfect. The black one has a thinner grip and is lighter, awesome for her smaller hands. The natural wood Bokken is heavier, and I will be using it. I plan on ordering from Sword demon (Kenshin's reverse blade sword!)
- The handguard on these is rubber and doesn't fit perfectly, so if the hand guard is what you're excited about, don't be it's pretty much useless and is prone to falling off. As other reviewers said, these are different weights not just different colors. They are bot comfortable to use, I broke the natural colored one after about two weeks of tough swordplay, but I taped it and it was in fighting shape again. These aren't indestructible, but they're also nice and cheap. I recommend them.
