Interest in purchasing Japanese Boxing Gear

[destroyer4147]

Hi,

I really wanna get a hold of "BEGIN" brand gloves used in K-1 heavyweight fights.

If anyone lives in Japan and can get a hold of them, I'll paypal you the cost including shipping to California.

PM me if this is a possibility.

Specifically: 16 oz red or blue gloves.

Last place I found them is at:

http://www.seido.co.jp

1. Enter the site
2. On the left-hand menu, click on the second-to-the-bottom button
3. Should take you to the Begin page. Pretty good prices for equipment.

My problem is that they don't respond to my emails.

so umm... is there a difference between their gear and the gear u can get locally?:icon_conf

 

[destroyer4147]

no.

I just want that gear for the simple fact that I want that gear. Thanks

I just sent an e-mail in Japanese. Hopefully a responce will eventually be sent.

Most muay thai products of Begin are Thaismai OEM and those gloves use in k1 are made by Fairtex.

Also it is a company owned by Ishii.

What does OEM mean?

So are you saying that Begin is made by Thaismai?

But the gloves in heavyweight K-1 matches say "BEGIN" on the wrist and those are made by Fairtex?

And so does Ishii own only the label "BEGIN"? or does he have partial ownership of either Thaismai or Fairtex?

A little confusion. Hopefully this can be resolved.

Thank you

the gloves in pride would often say all sorts of things, it may just be a sponsor named "BEGIN" who knows.

I doubt Ishii owns any part of Fairtex btw.

as with others. why do you want these specific gloves? if its for training, i can recommend cheaper and way better alternatives. unless your some kind of creepy glove collector....

OEM=Original Equipment Manufacturing. Some companies prefer to buy their products and some perfer to manufacture by their own factory.

"Begin" is a martial arts Equipment brand in Japan. Ishii is the owner of "Begin".

In Japan, all Seidokaikan Honbu and branches are equiped by "Begin".

Those "Begin" gloves used in K-1 tournament are many by fairtex.
