Mine are a new pair of wrestling shoes and a dull folder training knife from iisports on EBay.

My soon to be purchases include some escrima sticks for my group to train with, some additional focus mitts/thai pads maybe and maybe some mats for my training area. The mats are the big wish. Swain are the best, also the most expensive.

p.s. I didn't include a 10 fighting stars magazines I just got that surprisingly include several Ed Parker articles, a couple of surprise articles on JT Wills (who was in Battlestar Galactica to my surprise),a Jim Kelly article and an old a clifford stewart article. Also has William Shatner from star trak talking about his training in Kenpo with Tom Bleecker.
 
An outfit from "Fist", so my students may pummel me, and a tape on joint locks. But I'm confused on the tape, which is the best one to get???:confused:
 
I thought the title was your most recent martial arts purchases.

Mine happened to be a book. Doesn't that count?

Depends on what your looking for exactly...

The lock flow tapes that I've seen include..

-Larry Hartsell's Entering to trapping to grappling
-James Keating's Lock Flow tape is not bad $30
-Kelly Worden does a lot of joint lock stuff on DTL (destroy, trap,lock)
-Also anything with Wally Jay or Remey Presas is filled with joint locks...that vertical wrist lock from Presas is the bomb..

Right off the cuff that's what I can think of...

Mr. Duffy has a good little lock flow set he got from his years in the NCKKA that may have some Hartsell roots...(check out nckka.org ,you can see the first 9 online, the last 3 aren't done yet it looks like) It is broken down in threes so you'll have to look at each section on a different belt rank, but you can get the idea of what they are doing.

Good luck, jb:asian:

I like it alot. A good informative book on the general breakdown of the dictionary forms.
 
A new gi, mouthpiece, and "zen in the martial arts" most resent!
 
I got myself a heavy bag for christmas. My daughters playroom is a dojo now with mirrors,etc so we can practice between classes.
 
The other day I ordered Vladimir Vasiliev "Espcapes from Holds" video from TRS-Direct.com.

I attended a Systema class in NYC (www.Fighthouse.com) a few weeks ago and was impressed on how I was getting my butt kicked, so I decided to invest a few dollars to learn more about Systema.

Peace,
 
Some stuff for State (althougth I did not go)
-Foam shin and instep guards (used to use them a decade ago)
-Two new mouthpieces (the old ones were, well, old)

I'm getting my Gi altered and repaired next and I may also buy a new one.

My gear bag also broke so I'll fix the strap when I get my Gi fixed or I'll buy a new one but that is a low priority.
 
I 've ordered my "Fist Gear!" I'm invincible now!:samurai:
