Sorry for bumping an old thread, I'm just curious if anyone took the leap and tried these or the headgear out? I already have winning gear, but my inner gearwhore is dying to know how they compare with isami's line! Especially after seeing Jon Fitch make the switch from Winnings to the IBX- 2's.

Hm... Interesting. I may have to go to the Isami store this weekend and finally check the gear out.

I certainly wouldn't want that slogan on my headgear.
Actually I am considering purchase.
Well, on the pictures they do not look great at all, however...
Anyway I think I've found a pretty decent place to purchase them. Mainly because of the free international shipping.

Any thoughts?

Well, still a half of the Winning price...
All depends on whether or not they are really made in Japan. If they are and if they are of a very good quality I wouldn't say they are expensive.
But actually for some reason I doubt a bit they are made in Japan. Maybe I am wrong...
Browsing http://isami-seoul.com it seems the gloves cost 100 bucks in Seoul... WTF?!
Japanese gloves for 100 dollars... 46% discount... I do not know what quality they are, but it is really not much probable they make them in Japan. They might be quality gloves though...

Can't find them
Thanx.
Thanx..what about thier headgear? How much is it? It would be nice if they had an English version.
The headgear is 250,000 won, which is about $225 USD according to google currency converter.

Thank you. I'll just wait for someone to post a review on the gloves before I buy them.
From what I understand, Isami gloves ARE made in Japan.
All I know is they claim they are. However the prices make me doubtful about it.
From some dealer in Japan they cost 175 incl. shipping, that means about 140 net price, so the wholesale is maximum 90-100. Quite low for gloves made in Japan.
I'm pretty sure the reason that they have them on sale is because not many people want to pay that much for gloves here in Korea. There are Thai brands available for cheaper and a Korean brand that is starting to make MMA stuff, as well as the boxing stuff that they've been making for a while.
I think the Isami store is just trying to clear out the higher priced Isami and Winning gear. After all, how often do you see Winning on sale?
