ozsamurai Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Looking for a supplier of Martial Arts gear, not Muay Thai. Anyone know of a good place?? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Strangely I've never seen one in Thailand but there has to be one. I've seen some stuff but not much in those shops that sell military gear in the shopping malls. I would guess somewhere down in Chinatown there might be a place with more traditional stuff. Try asking one of the schools which teach martial arts classes to kids. You can find them at Siam Square and in some bigger shopping malls. I don't have any names. China probably would be a better place for it. There are some websites here in Asia which can give you info about suppliers if you are looking for stuff to sell.

Thaiboxer Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Try a google search for "Boon Sports". It's a small shop in the vicinity of Sukumvit Soi 85 by the BTS line. The owner is an Australian guy named Scott, and he sells tons of stuff. He also makes custom sandbags; had him make me a couple and they're top notch.

ozsamurai Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks for that. The googling didn't go to well though for Boon, nothing showed up but a dead .com.au site... Oh well back to the drawing board. I did pass by a place that looks promising outside Lumpini Park Stadium, I hope its just not all Muay Thai stuff. Dakhar: There are no real ninjas!

ozsamurai Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Follow Up: Although I didn't find any online shops, I did track down a place where you can buy Karate Gi, black and white light weight synthetic or heavier cotton. 650BHT for both types. Its in Rama 1 near the National Stadium (well a walk from there) 78 Rama 1 Rd. Rongmuang, Patumwan 02-2143250 Thai speakers only though...

Newbee Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 For more expensive items - I think somebody mentioned to me a store across Central Chitlom near the taekwondoe school. Not sure of the exact address though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

learnthaipodcast Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The Fairtex gym sells some good Muay Thai equipment. You can also check the FBT store at Ramkamheang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithson Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Check out FBT, you may want to mention specifically what you're after, because a lot of muay thai gear can be used for other arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaikidave Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 What about tatami mats? Is there a cheap place to buy decent tatami? FBT Lists their judo tatami at about three times the price of Zebra mats in the US. By the way where do you study Aikido? We have a small club in Phuket just starting up. Try FBT, 7th Floor.

Soon there will be regular seminar in ninpo taijutsu( the martial art used by the ninja- a quite effective form of jujutsu) here in thailand. its rather classical, has little to do with people perception of ninjutsu, but is quite interesting and gives a great insight into tis great culture. Hollywood made nothing up. They is an excellent but very expensive craftsman in japan who specializes in authentic ninpo equipment. His workmanship is outstanding Most is outdated.Some is not, like rings that have little hooks that can tear the skin off someones arm simply on a handshake are excellent tools for women.The hook is barely visible and can do horrific damage covertly. in thailand I have never seen a good martail art shop.
