I purchased these foam nunchaku's a couple of months ago and they are great. Practicing with wooden nunchaku's can be dangerous when you're first learning or practicing with an opponent. You're much better of using this. I have another pair very similar to the ones that I bought from Karate Depot and they are heavier. I prefer the ones from Karate Depot...

I bought this foam escrima sticks and they are fine when it comes to practicing. The only shortcomings that I see is that the foam makes it much thicker than I would like. I also realized that while I would love to learn the art of escrima there aren't any practitioners in my area and I would have been better off learning with real wooden escrima sticks which are thinner and would give me the ability to increase my speed. Don't get me wrong the foam sticks are great but unless you are practicing against a live opponent it's pointless as it would be very difficult to hurt yourself. Also the sticks bend easily when you strike a hard object.

The only difference between the Tonfa's pictured here and the Tonfa's that I received with my order is that they are black, which is ok. The weight is good and the handles are good size. They are very smooth and sturdy. I am an average sized man and the 24 inch Tonfa's that I ordered are just the right size. I would not go any smaller unless you are a very small person.

I just received my BO from Karate Depot and I am very impressed with it. It has substantial weight and is very sturdy. I can't wait to take it to my dojo. My only concern is it might have been better to have bought the 5' version instead of the 6', I am 5'9

There is a difference between Macho's Rival and Warrior Sparring Gear. However thanks to Karate Depot you should buy the Warrior sparring gear because it's very affordable. I feel very comfortable sparring with this gear.
