Man I have to say it again. Those gloves look friggin' sweet! I wish I did MMA style training so I could buy them. I don't think it's possible to use them in MT

Not used official Shootos so cant comment,sorry.

Got mine in today. I've got monster hands ( 9 1/2 across the knuckles, size 15 ring finger) and the XLs fit fine. I might be able to get 120" MMA wraps on under them after they loosen up a little, but no way to get 180"/ 2" wide.
Will update when I've used them for awhile.

Used mine already. They're fair but not good. I'll use them a few more times and see if it improves

So far, mine are still a bit stiff. They hit with a good bit of force, but its not nearly as bad as 4 oz. regular MMA gloves. As my sparring partner pointed out, they have another advantage in that you really are forced to clean up your stance/ technique, as you aren't hiding behind a wall of 16 0z padding. I'd say you can go full speed w/ 50-70% power, depending on your abilities.
As far as grappling goes, They, again, are a bit frustrating to work with as far as pulling the arm out goes. They stayed on fine, though. Not a lot of movement. The wide open palm is a blessing too.

Basically, so far, they fill a gap that is incredibly hard to fill. Until a better design comes along, they'll work.
Just a bit of advice, really, really work the stiffness out before jumping straight into action.

They are kinda stiff.... I'll work them a little more and hopefully, they improve... The padding is quite good tho

Thanks bro.

I see a lot of comments about stiffness. These gloves are definitely stiffer than the CSI's and any other I have trained with. What I can say after over a year with both is the Truth will last longer. Some of the CSI gloves at my gym are so soft and flimsy after a lot of wear. While they may be stiff for the short run they are much sturdier long term.

bro that chair is nice, but it ends up looking like shit after 6 months. The coating ontop of it, is some kinda paint or something cuz it starts coming off as you rub in it. Other than that its very comfy. Also i like going on the puter nekkid & the leather sticks to me and feels nasty, so i have to put a blanket over the chair. i give the chair 3/5
