Several questions
Alright soo lets get started
First off I have a few vs. Questions
Venum Amazonia Fight Shorts vs. Hayabusa KYOUDO Fight Shorts vs. ADX White Dragon Fight Shorts vs. SPRAWL Fusion Fight shorts
On to the next vs. question
Hayabusa vs. Warrior vs. TITLE Rival
And as for the gloves i'm more less talking about training/bag gloves
Okay on to my next questions.
How often do companys come out with new gear?
And lastly are there usually christmas sales or other bigger sales?
I think that was all of my questions, but if it wasn't i'll update this thread!
Thanks in advance guys! (If there are any other brands for the above questions that your reccomend please let me know)

What exactly do you want to know concerning:
Hayabusa vs. Warrior vs. TITLE Rival
Gloves...shorts...etc.
And like tiger.shark says, a lot of this has already been covered...several times. Lol.

I didn't realize I have to post "I HAVE ALREADY SEARCHED ALL OF THIS ALREADY"
Went through 10 pages and didn't see any of your guys's opinions or especially any thing as specific as I asked
Another thing, I think it would of been easier to answer my question then to tell me to search. Trust me, that was the first thing I did. I understand your trying to help, but the reason I asked is because I coulnd't find the answers to my questions.

Honestly just which is "better" and why.
I know there are reviews for all of these shorts, and yes I have read them, but I have yet to read a review comparing all of them, let alone 2 of them. Peoples standards vary from person to person, thats why I want some one thats tried just more than 1 of my selections
Not to be a smart ass guys, I just need help making a good decision.

probably the most important thing i've learned from reading the posts and opinions in this forum (and i'm pretty new here) is that nobody can really tell you which is better. usually there's no objective answer. it's like asking 'which jeans are better -- gap, levis or diesel'. TOTALLY subjective, based on your body and your tastes. at some point you've just gotta jump in and try something out, figure out if you like it or not.
asking x vs. y is kinda like asking folks to answer an essay question. it might help to be a little more specific in what you're asking. ie, with shorts, 'do these run large or small' or 'how flexible is the material compared to standard kmart board shorts'. those are easier questions to respond to with a short answer.
frankly, i've found that 80% of the gis i've tried are nearly indistinguishable from eachother outside of color or branding. the things that make them different or preferable are typically pretty specific and minute and, well, subjective. i can only imagine it's the same with other types of gear.
good luck!

I know man, I'm just trying to find one people prefer, hopefully there is one...
The reason I want someone thats used both because reading reviews usually don't help as much as I'd like since they are not comparing to the brands that i'm interested in.
It would just be nice if some one that has used the Hayabusa's and the Sprawl's or the ADX's and the Venums would just be like they like the ADX's better because there more flexible or they like the Hayabusa's better because there sizing and lengh is better

Personally, I can only comment on what I have of the brands that you mentioned. I like the Sprawl V-Flex shorts, and the Rival gloves. Rival makes two nice pairs of super bag gloves, the Ultra and Elite models. The Elites are more expensive, but do not have a sewn seam across the front of the glove, like I believe the Utras do. Both are hook and loop.
Rival also makes really nice pro sparring gloves. The RS1 and RS2 are lace ups, and the RS2 is a short cuff version. I have the RS1 long cuff version, and there should be a review w/photos, that I did recently in the Review section. If you want the hook and loops in Rival try the RS2V's. I think the hook and loops run about $120.00.
