2pc Ninja Climbing Foot Spikes Set Claws Tree Wall Ashiro Ice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These devices, while well priced and made of good material, need some modification and don't work right out of the box.
The shoelaces seem to work well enough for keeping the spikes on your feet, but I've found that the biggest problem is that while climbing the spikes would roll underneath my feet and I'd slip.
I had to make some pretty heavy modifications to these things to make them work for me. One being a superior set of nylon straps to replace the shoelaces. And the second being welding a piece of metal to the part of the spikes that touches the bottom of the foot.
I say two stars because they worked, but only with heavy modification. If for some reason I needed to buy a second pair, I would buy a pair like these. But be warned that you need to do a little work before these things can actually be useful.

Musashi Handmade Iaido Iaito Practice Katana Sword New Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For anyone interested in purchasing an Iaito (a practice, unsharpened katana), this is not the sword for you. Although "iaido iaito" is in the name of the product, the sword itself is sharp. After calling Martial Arts Land (which has great customer service by the way), they confirmed the error in marketing this product as an "iaito", and will proceed to make changes. The sword itself is well put together; it feels sturdy. It was relatively easy to disassemble, and easy to put back together. The fittings are extremely plain, there are no markings whatsoever on the kashira/fuchi, and there is only a light "web" pattern on the Tsuba. Even so, it gives the sword a simple elegance. There are minor aesthetic issues, such as some black smudges on the habaki, a minuscule gap between the blade and the habaki on one side, suspicious-looking same... (see customer pictures for more details) but overall I was pleased with the quality of the product. However, as I was looking for an unsharpened blade to safely practice Shinkendo, I will be exchanging this with another, true iaito from Martial Arts Land.

Wood Tai Chi Sword with Scabbard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is decently made, but I wouldn't suggest doing anything with it other than hanging it on a wall (which is why I purchased it). It won't stand up to sparring or anything like that, and I don't know that it would be worth much for practicing forms, but it's pretty cool.

Long Tabi Boots Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I ordered these boots the first time, I entered everything and received an email saying the purchase had gone through. I waited weeks and never saw the product. I got my credit card statement and noticed that 3 days after the purchase, they recredited me the purchase. I never received a notification that the purchase could not go through. When I ordered the second time, I was never asked for a shoe size. I kept expecting it to request what size I wanted but the purchase went through and I wondered what size would come. When they arrived, they were 4 sizes too big. I had to return them to get the correct size.

Single 40" Hardwood Datio Bokken Kendo Practice Sword Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The cord-wrapped handle is a great idea, offering more of a real sword-like look as well as a firmer grip. My hands tend to get sweaty and slip around a bit with long practice, particularly with the sealed lacquered finish on most bokken. This wrap really helps (though it needed a touch of glue to get it to stay in place). The two-piece guard design is a nice enhancement too. Though you really don't need the guard at all for many applications it is nice looking and appears stronger than the original.
It's still a fairly cheap piece of wood, compared to an ironwood version, but at this price (it was $9.99 when I bought it) you really can't go wrong. A nice enhancement over the basic bokken. I do, however, prefer the natural wood version to this one as it looks pretty bad once you start using it and the color scrapes off. Nevertheless, if you want an inexpensive practice sword this one is recommended...

Unlike most poorly manufactured and shoddy wooden practice katanas--also commonly referred to as samurai swords--this Boken Daito wood practice sword offers both stability and practicality. The sword boasts a sturdy oak construction with a dark-stained finish and a comfortable cord-wrapped handle, helping it last through dozens of rigorous training sessions. The new two-piece guard design, meanwhile, protects both your hands and the guard itself, so you're less likely to break the sword. Best of all, the Boken Daito practice sword looks and feels just like a real sword, with a kissak at the end of the tip and a pentagonal spine and blade. The Boken Daito measures 39 inches long total, with 30 inches dedicated to the blade.

Black Ninja Folding Grappling Hook W/ 33 Foot Rope Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Take note, kiddies: mine *broke*. Luckily, it did not break completely mid-climb, but had cracked most of the way through under about 180 pounds of weight--enough that afterward it fell apart very easily. Although above it says "rated for 800 pounds," another seller says "not for climbing."
If you really want to be an urban ninja, get a real grappling hook from a mountain climbing supply store.

Traditional Hakama Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although this would be a good choice for the money I recommend sticking with duck or cotton hakamas. Sure, poly (tetron) is easier to care for but when it gets hot in your dojo you'll wish you were wearing cotton or some cotton poly mix . My recommendation is to go with more natural fibers , but if you want a poly hakama then use it for demos or any activity where you won't be working up a major sweat.

Gungfu Ninja Tabi Boots Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These boots are well made, but I had to reorder once because the sizes run a little large. Boots are exactly as pictured (top right), but I wish they had traditional kohaze (metal tab) closures.
(edit)
Upon reordering from Amazon, I received the calf-height tabi instead of the short style (the invoice still said "short style"). They're still exactly as pictured, and they fit very well, but I was hoping for a shoe that's easy to change in and out of. These are a bit of a hassle. I'm not going to try and return them because I'm becoming exhausted by all the ordering/waiting/wondering.
I'm not terribly disappointed, but now that I know I enjoy the look and feel of tabi I will probably make future purchases from a different company.

An authentic reproduction of a real ninja boot in every way. The split toe feature is designed to improve the foot's gripping ability. The ridged rubber soles improve traction and are virtually soundless. Two styles to choose from, short ankle high or high top which covers the calf. Short boots feature a hook with two sets of loops to adjust your fit. High top covers the calf and has a zip-lock closure along the entire length of the boot. Full sizes only.
