sickwithit13 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Is adidas the best brand for sparring gear? uniforms? shoes? Martial Arts USATALIUM - THE SPIRIT OF TAEKWONDOhttps://www.talium4me.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Personally, I don't think so. Only the very expensive Adidas equipment is any good IMO. I prefer Blitz, Firepower, Century or Meijin gear. The only exception to that is the shoes - Adidas shoes are good. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

dinesh Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 their uniforms aren't that bad. The 14oz ones I am talking about. They stand up pretty good and don't fit bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickwithit13 Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 when you say the best adidas gear are you reffering to the foam-dipped? And would you say the best adidas gear is better than the other brands?

dinesh Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I believe it's the "Champion" one, made especially for kata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 And would you say the best adidas gear is better than the other brands? It compares to some other brands that we have here in the UK - Top Ten and Pro Force are two that spring to mind. Anyway, I think it's just a matter of opinion about sparring gear - I love Firepower gear, but someone else may hate it. I probably had a bad batch of stuff with the things I bought from Adidias - my Adidas gi tore very easily and the stitching on the gloves came undone after a week of use. "Was it really worth it?

battousai16 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 see, that's what happens. the little un-fed underpayed slave children think they can get away with shoddy stitching, and i for one am not gonna' take it anymore! give me 2 minutes alone with one of those kids that'll teach 'em a thing or two about quality... seriously though, my big beef with adidas is the whole sweat shop thing. though, to be honest, the big reason i've never bought it is cuz it's just so much more expensive than everything else, and it seems to be essentilaly the same stuff, just with 3 little leaves on them.
