Yeah, I've seen some of the pink sparring gear. What a hideous color. I've never been a girly girl and I'm certainly not going to start now! LOL! Its good to know what I can expect with the sparring gear. It wasn't too pricey at least. I bought mine online because it was $89 for the entire starter set...the head gear, chest protector, hand guards, kickers and mouth guard. As they break, the dojo sells the Macho Rival so I might just get that. My dojo just went non-profit so every little bit helps! Thanks for all of your replies!

Just curious what you guys think about this line of sparring gear? I needed a decent set to start with and since I couldn't find anything made for women (grumble...grumble) I went ahead and got the Macho Warrior line. I've tried on a few others, and this fit the best. What do you think about it, or do you know a better line? Even better does anyone know of sparring gear made for women?

I'm still learning my first kata, that would be wanshu.

Hey everybody! I'm fairly new to martial arts. I joined a local dojo after looking at several. I liked the atmosphere that this dojo had. I've really been enjoying myself and wanted to chat with other people who enjoyed similar things, so here I am am. I'm 25 yrs old, and am a Systems Administrator by day. The dojo I go to teaches Shorin-Ryu and so far I love it. I love that they do some cross training like Brazilian jujitsu and kobudo (for orange belts and above, sigh...I'm a lowly white belt right now). Anyhoo, I look forward to getting to know some of you guys and gals!
