1 comments about Link Hyrule Sword Leather Belt Strap.
- The strap is really nice, and very sturdy. The slits for the sword and for the excess belt strap are adjustable by buttons, which are a bit hard to push back together, but it's worth the trouble so your sword doesn't fall out. I tried it out with one of my other cosplay swords; it fit very tightly (this sword was a Mugen Shirasaya, so it had no guard), and it didn't fall out once. Will be using for my Link cosplay for a convention around here. Highly recommended for any Link cosplayer!

5 comments about Black Mini Night Watchman Kubotan Keychain.
- the product arrived in a timely fashion, was well packaged, and was exactly what i expected.
- While I have never owned this product or another kubotan with a knife inside, I have owned a normal flat-tipped kubotan for about three years now and had professional martial arts/self defense/police tactics training with it for the first of those three years, so consider my background when you read this review...
While I fully believe a kubotan is an EXCELLENT thing to learn how to use for self-defense for men and women alike, I fully believe that a kubotan that unscrews to hold a knife is completely impractical. How often will you have the oppotunity to unscrew the cap for the blade or even flip a pop-cap version around to the blade before you're attacked? My guess is never. More than likely, you won't even know the attack is coming if they know what they're doing, and so you need an immediate (I wish I could underline the word "immediate" to show the gravity of that term...) response to the attack. I standard kubotan is much more practical and prevents the risks of accidental damage to yourself should you fumble with it in a moment of high stress.
My opinion, whether considered professional or not, would be to buy a regular kubotan and find a martial arts or self-defense instructor that is educated and capable to teach you how to effectively use it. I had a 4th degree blackbelt in "hybrid styles" (he owns his own dojo and was given his 4th degree by counsil decision, his 3rd degree was in American Karate) teaching me, so I can tell you from experience that you will come out of it with some pain and bruises, but also invaluable experience that could save your life one day.
- Came on time, good condition, very handy keychain knowing it could hurt someone really bad if attacked or something. I like it. thumbs up and don't leave home without it.
- The Kubotan I received is totally different from the one listed in the image in the product page. The blade is in silver not black, and is not sharp at all compared to my little Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife. Unfortunately I bought 2 pieces from this Kubotan. you should buy a normal Kubaton at least it is cheaper and you will get what you see.

3 comments about Karate Uniform Medium Weight White 100% cotton Size 000 to 7.
- This is a medium weight gi. If you are not sure whether you will keep practice Karate or not, this is a cheap gi to start with.
Eventually you will go for a heavy gi in the future.
- this is a great gi for people who are beggining to train a martial art.
- I purchased this item because my daughter started taking a Tiny Tigers karate class. We tried to get a uniform at the school, but it took two weeks for orders to come in. I also wanted something logo free and 100% cotton. My daughter didn't like the size 0 at the school because it was very large and the instructor told us they don't shrink much. I went with the 000 instead, since she in petite. It was still large, but I washed it in hot water (not recommended) to shrink it considerably.
Now it fits perfectly. I'll definitely buy the next size up when it comes time to trade in. The sizing chart was accurate and really helped. The white belt included was also the perfect size to tie properly.
Thank you!

3 comments about Shock Doctor Adult Power Gel DNA Mouthguard.
- This mouthguard would be good for any sport where you where a helmet... But it is not good for boxing!!! It works good to stop concussions but beware if you get hit in the mouth your lip will split open, it has happened to me twice. So I decided to get the Shock Doctor double mouthguard which provides the same concussion resistence and also alows easy breathing.
- I bought two Shockdoctor mouthguards, this one and a Power Gel Ultra. I bought them, not for fighting, but to prevent night time teeth grinding. This guard is wider than the Power Gel. It's easier on the jaw and a lot more comfortable to use. I don't have a wide mouth or a large bite, but the Power Gel in comparison left such little rooom - it forced my teeth to line-up in an unnatural position, and holding my teeth in that position for long periods took effort - it tired me out by always forcing me to clench my teeth in a certain way when using it. I threw it away. This one, however, at least for my uses, is great. It's easy to use, feels more attuned to the way my teeth naturally line up, and fairly comfortable. However, I have to agree with J Landis - it's a good guard for helmet sports, but the front of the guard sticks out so far that if you actually got punched or hit in the top lip it would probably split right open.
If you are looking to an alternative to the $700+ recommended dental night time teeth grinding guards, this is a cheap alternative.
- DO NOT BUY (if you are expecting lip/mouth impacts). I bought this mouth guard not realizing the black plastic in the picture is quite rigid. It gave me a fat lip almost immediately and I had to go out and buy a soft mouth guard before my next practice. Bad for any type of impact or contact sport like Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing etc.

2 comments about TITLE Patinum Hybrid Gel Fist Wraps.
- Title Platinum Hybrid Gel Fist Wraps are a convenient alternative to plain fist wraps. The regular size fit well for me at 5'6" 170 lbs. They provide sufficient gel padding for intermediate-to-experienced kickboxers to have required protection when practicing against the sandbag. If these are to be used by a beginner one might want to consider full glove protection so as to cover the fingers completely. Easy to wash, easy to dry. It is a great advantage to find them through Amazon as ordering on Title's web site requires that the card and delivery address be the same. All in all, the product does what it says well, fits comfortably and is easily cared for.
- just got these today first time using glove handwraps and I love these things, they fit perfectly under my gloves for competition and provide top notch wrist support

2 comments about Shock Doctor Double Braces Strapless Mouthguard.
- This product works great. The only one on the market that I could find for my teenage son who wears braces. I tried some other brands that claimed to work but the channels weren't wide enough for his braces to fit down into. These worked perfectly and were a lot more cost effective than having an orthodonist make a custom fitted one. I recommend these for anyone who has a child wearing braces in a sport that requires a mouthguard.
- This product was recieved in two days and has performed well for my son during the wrestling season. I would recommend this product for any sports minded child with breaces.

5 comments about Reverse Blade Katana Black with Stand.
- Bought it for the friend of our family. It was a big fun when we found out that the blade is on the wrong side, kind of peaceful Katana :D So, the friend had the desired sword but also his wish is still to become true to hold the real Katana someday :D.
- This Katana is good at what it does. The reversed nature of the blade makes it safe to work with, and the reversed blade is not razor-sharp, all though it could be sharpened. I do not know if this blade has a full tang or not, but I will not be putting it through extreme duress. It does not have a point, but is rounded off, making this blade as safe as one could be and still could be considered a blade. The guard is a bit too wide to be comfortable, but that is just my personal geometry This blade itself seems of good quality. The blade was shipped promptly and arrived in great condition. The stand, as mentioned in other reviews, is of poor quality, but it is essentially a freebie that comes with the sword. In general a beutifal blade that would do wonderfully as a display or cosplay piece.
- I happned to recieve this as a gift and i was suprised. from what they said it came days earlier than expected it's very well made it had a really nice shine to it after i wiped off that white stuff of the blade and i really liked that. The stand was pretty nice seemed a little smaller than expected but the sword still sits on there nicely. All in All other than the stand (which i won't complain cause its free) its a really good sword and well worth the price
- This is a really awesome sword. I would recommend any weapon collector to add this sword to their collection! The reverse blade makes the sword very unique. Not only that, it reminds us of our Rurouni Kenshin hero, Kenshin Himura.
When ever my friends come over, I would always show them this sword and impress them on how cool and unique the blade is.
I would also recommend those who have the money to buy the carbon steel version of this knife for their collection.
- it didn't fall apart like the kill bill one did when i pulled it out of the same box but its about the same quality.

4 comments about Wushu Shoes (Black Feiyue Brand).
- I loved my pair so much I ordered five more. Great, inexpensive martial arts sneakers. For the cost of more expensive shoes I was able to buy several of these. I wear them all the time. Surprisingly well made. You can't go wrong.
- I have been buying these shoes in NYC for 4 years, and this is my first time buying them online. These are of slightly worse quality than normal. The grommet that hold the laces to the shoe fabric come lose very quickly.
But shipping was very fast and efficient.
- the shoes are great! my only beef is that i paid to have them sent fast and they still took forever and then they wouldn't reembourse for not meeting the time limit (like at all, i live in new york city and it took a full 9 days to get here) . if they are they sending them from china? if so, maybe they should take off the 'expediated mail' option/lie...nobody likes to feel like they just got played by amazon.. just a thought..
- Sturdy and light. I chose the wrong size. I am size 12 and chose size 47. One or prob 2 sizes too big, makes them feel like rubber slippers. If just the right size they would fit very snug. Make sure you get right size. Soft rubber bottoms, probably not great for tai chi practice, but would be fun to try as they would make you need to watch your stance and balance more, prob designed for hard Kung Fu and using wide sturdy stance. Decent for kicking a bag too.
