kickboxing gear

Doublebase · 03-07-2006, 07:54 PM

I recently started kickboxing. I hate using the gear at the gym. It stinks and doesn't fit well. I got some extra cash and would like to get some of my own. I want headgear, 16oz gloves, shin guards and a jock. I was looking at Dick Sporting Goods. They carry Everlast and TKO equipment. I am new to the martial arts world. Is Everlast to martial arts like weider is to weightlifting equipment? Can someone point me in the right direction. I would prefer to try on gloves before I go buying them off the internet but what can you do. How does the headgear run size wise? I have a small head, I don't want to purchase the wrong size. Same with the jock. How does that run size wise. Thanks guys.

I like the looks of these and read the reviews.

Are they good for kickboxing? Are they 16oz? I know they say sparring gloves. I will assume that they are 16oz. What you guys think?

I also like their shin guards.

Ron is calling me back in 45 mins. Nobody is replying to my thread. I guess I'm to excited to buy new gear.

Just talk to Ron. He is the best in the business and will give you the best advice on the best gear around.

I talked with him. I ordered the boxing gloves in the link above and the shin pads. All SSF. I am waiting for SSF headgear to come in.
