Habibi Sport Legging 

Unlike most of our competition, our Cork Mat is made with a 100% natural rubber base layer topped with a renewable, sustainable cork top layer. While natural cork provides superior wet and dry grip, it is ideal in heated and hot yoga classes because as temperatures rise, cork begins to loosen and becomes softer &amp; easier to grip. It's also moisture-activated - becoming grippier as it gets wet. Truly nature's best solution for towel-free traction. Cork is also closed-cell and naturally anti-microbial, sealing out moisture &amp; resisting odor and bacteria from sweat. Our natural rubber base layer offers a unique springy ride that cushions and protects joints, while also remaining stable and supportive in any pose. Stays put on the floor better than foam base layers and provides denser cushioning. The stunning, symmetrical pattern helps guide alignment and is printed using a non-fade water-based ink. The foldable 1.5mm thickness option is excellent for yogis on the go, and also provides an excellent "non-slip" topper for other mats.

You just slide your hand through and then you use these for the fingers. You can grip it different ways. What’s nice about this is it's super-lightweight, it fits in your backpack, it's a perfect size for using boxing gloves, MMA gloves.

Utilize the Century Blast Master Shield to maximize your training potential.

Century Martial Arts Blast Master Shield 

Unlike regular kicking shields this is super dense so then if I strike it here then you notice then it will go in a little bit but because of the little air holes here when you hit it it will let the air out so there’s a little bit of compression. You’ve got the side handles here. If you look at the construction, it’s the quality of the stitching grid here and the quality of materials that keeps it held together over time. There is a zipper here so this way, if you wanted to, you could foam switch out the vinyl or vice versa.

Typically the stitching starts to come out so the best thing is to get a product that’s going to withstand the test of time and the impact and abuse that you’re going to put on it. So it has what you need, it’s functional, great design and it will stand the test of time.

This is what, like, my good friend Master Chip Townsend who’s a world breaking champion, he’s the guy that you see on ESPN2 breaking 12,15 bricks at a time with jump spinning back kicks. He warms up on the Blast Master because nobody wants to hold the regular kicking shield for him
