Red Ninja Outfits For Valentine

I am considering ordering a cool outfit for my Valentine Day. I know it is a bit early to start considering this - It is only January.

However I thought it would be a good idea to surprise my new girlfriend if I came out with a vase full of roses while I was dressed in a red ninja uniform. Doesn't look like it will cost too much. I plan on getting it from this site I have seen before: http://www.ninjauniform.org/shop/red-modern-ninja-uniform/. I think it would be really cool to dress up as a red ninja - the ninja who stole her heart :)

What Kind Of Sparring Gear To Use?

What type or kind of sparring gear should I use when training? This is a common question when you first start training in the martial arts. From Kenpo to Taekwondo most styles will use a foam type of sparring gear. Occasionally you will see Vinyl gear or perhaps even cloth gear but the industry standard is foam sparring gear (like the ones you see here http://www.taekwondosupplies.org/category/tkd-foam-sparring-gear/).

This type of gear will usually last about 1 year if you are sparring hard but still wiping it down after each use. The constant sweat can eat away at the foam so you will want to have a cloth in your gear bag to wipe down the sweat on the gear.

An example of foam gear:

An example of vinyl sparring gear:

Now these are just examples of the punches but they also have head protectors, foot protectors and chest guards. Of course sizing your sparring gear is important too. Especially if you are ordering online. An easy way to size is to try one someone elses gear that is close to your size. Then just order their size in the same brand.

Why Does Kenpo Not Use Kung Fu Sashes?

I was told Kenpo comes from the Chinese martial arts. So I was wondering why they do not use Kung Fu Sashes instead of karate belts?

My only observation or answer would be that karate belts are easier to use and buy. Especially back in the early days of the martial arts in the USA. Where would they go to get a genuine sash in the 70's?

Also the karate uniforms were a bit easier to wash and wear. As the kung fu uniform would rip easier.  So there you have it - the reason why Kenpo does not wear the Gunf Fu Sash!
