dreamer38f Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 Has anybody seen the metallic sparring gear? Do u know which company sells it? thanks If you think you can't, then you must. If you must, you will.
SaiFightsMS Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 I believe you might be referring to some of the metalic colors in the macho warrior line. Also take a look at a copy of Black Belt magazine. Look through the ads. Many companies now make sparring gear in gold and silver.
iamrushman Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 yes; metalic sparring equipment sounds like an increase in injuries....i have to agree with SAI, perhaps it's the colors you want.......

TKD_McGee Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 However, it is very shiny. Thats a Turn On. Do unto others, as they done to you.
iamrushman Posted November 10, 2001 Posted November 10, 2001 i only mention injuries due to the fact that i would hate to kick a mask like the one's used by baseball catchers or have some one block my kick with an iron forearm brace on........or is that why you want it?(lol)......... oh and congrat on that shiny new green belt, lovely. _________________ rushman (karate forums sensei) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon "saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-11-10 15:48 ] rushman (karate forums sensei)3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon"saying nothing...sometimes says the most"--e. dickerson
dreamer38f Posted November 10, 2001 Author Posted November 10, 2001 Rush Sweetie, If i had that type of mask on, I wouldnt be able to see that attack comeing...lol. I kinda like TKD's idea of it being a turn on...would distract u...hehehe If you think you can't, then you must. If you must, you will.
SaiFightsMS Posted November 13, 2001 Posted November 13, 2001 My first mask was a closed chin mask (all of our kids used to have to wear the closed chin ones). With my goggles I was always steamed up (the lenses) and could not see a thing. I got another more open helmet and was much happier. The other thing with the closed chin helmet was it did restrict visibility even before my lenses fogged up. Actually I think the color of sparring gear does make a difference. In some ways it is nice to express individuality. But, I think my white handpads are harder to pick up against my white gi.
dreamer38f Posted November 13, 2001 Author Posted November 13, 2001 My school does sell equipment and bags, of course. Like u said it was an individual preferance. I do like your point on the white hand pads tho, had never thought of that. I might try it. Do you also wear white kicks? If you think you can't, then you must. If you must, you will.
SaiFightsMS Posted November 14, 2001 Posted November 14, 2001 Yes Dreamer I do wear white footpads too. More as a matter of matching the rest of my gear though.
