I was searching online to get a good deal on sparring equipment but it seems that shipping will take at least 3 weeks or they dont have the gear I'm looking for (pro force). Any suggestions?

don't know if they have your brand or not, but i've bought from them before.

why don't you get it from your school? or instructor?

maybe u find what u want on ebay. but i would rather rely on my instructor instead.

I got my equipment on Ebay cheap. However this can be a bit risky as you can never tell just how good of shape the stuff is in, until you see it yourself.

 

For me it was a bit more difficult as I have a very large head and very small hands and feet. Luckily I found this combination online but had to settle for Macho (sp) brand instead of the Century C-gear I wanted.

 

Buying through your dojo can be a lot more expensive than ebay or online stores etc, but you usually get some good customer service using your local resourse IMO.

I've ordered from them many times and their service is the best I've found. Their prices are pretty much in line with every one else, if not cheaper. I got my Century heavy weight ghi from them at a better price than the Century on line store had them listed. They also have an auction site where you can list items or bid on them similar to e-bay, except this is all martial arts. They also have a monthly contest, which I can vouch for being real as I won a sword set from them.

I get my equipment from Century (https://www.centuryfitness.com) mainly because the home store is near, but I also found some good deals at https://www.allcombat.com I don't know if they carry the pro force though. Wouldn't hurt to check anyway
