Training Gear

This is gear for day to day training both in and out of the dojo.


Tiger Claw Focus Mitt

Tiger Claw Vinyl Focus MittsFocus mitts are an essential tool for those serious about their striking skills.  Most people can hit a non-moving target hard, and most can hit a moving target.  But if you want to hit a moving target HARD, you've got to practice.  That's where focus mitts come in handy, and these have everything you'd want.  They're stiff, comfortable and have a Velcro wrist strap to keep them secure.  They come in both leather and vinyl.  The leather's got a better feel and is more durable, but they're also more expensive.  Like most Tiger Claw products, these combine good pricing and quality, I give them five kiai.


KD Elite 4 oz. MMA Gloves

KD Elite 4 oz. MMA GlovesThese are outstanding gloves for the price.  I use them as bag gloves, and they fill that role admirably.  The open thumb and large opening on the palm allow the hand to stay cool while training.  The wrist strap wraps around several times making them very secure.  They are made of leather and seem very well constructed.  For the combination of price and quality, I give them five kiai.


Tiger's Claw Kick Boxing Shorts Kick Boxing Shorts
In our dojo we wear gis, so I only wear these when I train on my own or when training informally. They are very comfortable and loose, so they don't restrict kicking techniques. But most of all, they're fun. They get me pumped up & make training more fun.  I give them four kiai.


Tiger's Claw Martial Arts Shoe Martial Arts Shoe
These shoes are excellent for training outdoors. They come with a tie string, but it is unnecessary because they stay on fine without it.  So they are very comfortable for slipping on to train outside where it's inappropriate to train without shoes.  Unlike sneakers, they have a circular tread which really allows pivoting in place. They've also held up well over the years.  I give them four kiai.
