Here's a source for quality equipment, some of which I havn't been able to get from martial arts suppliers:

 

http://www.ringside.com/

 

They specialize in Boxing and Kickboxing/Muay Thai supplies and equipment, but a lot of this is useful for martial artists of any system. Service is good, quality is excellant, and they have a good selection of products. Prices are good, but reflect their quality.

 

Some of the things they have that interested me:

 

*120" to 170" handwraps

 

*'Opponent ball' that attatches to your heavy bag chain and swings as you strike, giving a more realistic workout.

 

*Arm that straps onto your heavy bag or dummy.

 

*Offset hung headache bag that is more unpredictable when it returns at you.

 

*Really good groin abdomen protectiv gear.

 

*Good videos. They aren't glitzy and ultraprofessional. But they are understandable and packed with good info. The ones I have are 'The Speed Bag Bible' (book and video) and 'Wrapping Hands' (video).

 

Thanks to Patrick for letting me post this. I still recomend 'shoping at home' (the KF store) when they have what you want. He provides a great forum, and something has to pay the way. But this site is worth checking out.
