Customer Review
"In addition these are the best gloves we have used for both our Shinkage heiho and Owari Kan Ryu sojutsu, and for our “weapons workouts.” I have been trying out different gloves for the past 30 some odd years, and yours are the best I’ve used in that time. They provide the best back of the fist and knuckle protection, and the length of the cuff is ideal for the Shinkage training."

Great Gloves

I wish the fingers and knuckles were better padded a

Good Quality
Good quality gloves. I followed the size chart and chose what I thought would be an appropriate size, but they're a little too big. They'll work, but I do wish I'd sized down.
