Good Wholesale sources for WTF gear?

[IcemanSK]

This might be pre-mature, but in talks for starting a non-profit dojang under a GM.

What wholesale companies have you had good (or not so good) experiences with? Quailty of service, quality of gear, etc.

Thanks!

I use both TigerClaw and Century. I have had good luck with both, and now both offer ordering online. TigerClaw usually delivers a day or two faster though.

Good Luck!

Tiger Claw!

I've only seem Tiger claw foam boots (years ago) & wasn't impressed. But they have good stuff, huh? Are their V-neck uniforms ok?

KWON is my favorite by far. They sell the WTF stuff that you mentioned in your subject line.

https://www.kwon.com

They don't have a minimum order for your first order and are fast. You only need a business license to open an account.

To give you an idea of wholesale prices, a size 6 adult karate uniform (student weight) is normally $32.99 retail, but is $15.99 wholesale. The Brazilian JJ gi's are $99 retail, but are $49 wholesale. 6 foot bo staffs are $19 retail and $11 wholesale. The foam dipped gloves are $29 retail and $14 wholesale (they even have the yellow gloves and boots).

By the way, if you can't get a business license, go to https://www.martialartssupermarket.com & https://www.martialartsmart.com

They both have close to wholesale prices, without the need for a business license.

I use Tiger Claw and KWON. Both are equally quick in fulfilling orders, but TC is by far quicker in shipping. Probably just because KWON ships out from the midwest, and TC is in the Bay area. Both I find are also probably equal in quality and choice. Some items are better than others, and so forth.

I've also ordered from Academy of Karate Martial Arts, or https://www.martialartssupermarket.com

They have a large selection and wholesale pricing
