It’s Simple Really…
Smart Athletes Use the Best Equipment!
Every Injury no Matter How Minor Can Impact the Remainder of Your Life…
You’re never in control. You’ll never know if your opponent has been trained properly, you’ll never know if they’re wearing proper equipment and worst of all you’ll never know what their intentions are. Whether it’s judo, tae kwon do, karate or any of the martial arts disciplines, the facts are the same…even if you have superior skills and a wealth of experience it’s the quality of your equipment that determines your safety..
All sports, regardless of the competitive level, carry the risk of injury. The most common injuries associated with martial arts training or exercise vary from simple strains and sprains to fractures and broken bones. The easiest way to avoid cumulative injuries is to have the correct protective gear and to wear it properly…it may be all there is standing between you and a life changing injury.
Okay, so Maybe You’re Not A Competitor? What Price Do You Put on Your Safety…
Just because you enjoy boxing, kickboxing and the martial arts for the cardio and fitness benefits doesn’t mean you can’t get hurt. In fact in 2002 the United States reported the cost of sports injuries due to poor equipment was over 100 billion dollars…surely some of those were fitness related…
One of the great things about the martial arts is the relative low cost of the sport compared to others…football, hockey, golf…it’s a no brainer…the martial arts are cheap! So why are you skimping on your equipment?
Choosing the right martial arts equipment is the most vital first step towards enjoying the sport you or your children love. The last thing you want to do when you’re having fun or getting in shape is to get hurt. Shoddy bargain basement equipment is a recipe for injury. Those low price tags often betray an expensive consequence…cheap equipment breaks down faster meaning it must be replaced more often and because it wears out sooner it can be the cause of injury when you least expect it.
Superior Protection will Give You the Peace of Mind Knowing You’ll be Safe…and if You Train Competitively You’ll Have Achieved a Mental Advantage!
Recently a 16 year study of the sport of boxing was concluded in Australia, among its findings… 90% of all boxing related injuries were to the head and face area…so can I interest you in some used headgear? How about a refurbished mouth guard…okay that’s just disgusting but the point is this type of used shoddy equipment is out there…you got it, legitimate well established sporting goods suppliers are selling used martial arts equipment! If someone you trusted told you used headgear was endangering the life of your child would you believe them…
