The Ultimate in Martial Arts

Underdog · 10-19-2000, 10:34 AM

I searched trough hell to high water to find the website of Sphinx, the producer of my sparring gear;

here it is:

http://www.sphinx-usa.com

hope you'll find something useful.

Ciao!

Underdog · 10-19-2000, 10:41 AM

I've searched the site but I've not found the caged headgear that I bought from them. I called them (even if it's called spx-usa, the company is here in italy) and they told me that the gear is new and they haven't put on the site yet (strange, I bought it a year ago), drop them an email.

Chad W. Getz · 10-19-2000, 05:51 PM

Check out this mask. So far this is the cheapest mask that I have been able to find anywhere. I've never seen or used it, and the cage is a little more open than the macho headgear, but it's only about $60. And something for the girlfriend on the web site too if you can find it.

and that is why i won't send your immortal souls to hell when you die and arrive in my eternal kingdom.

and only for that reason.

Chad W. Getz · 10-20-2000, 07:55 PM

UnderDog, you think we could talk this guy into at least giving us a work out space up there?

Underdog · 10-23-2000, 11:50 AM

That wouldn'be a bad idea...

But keep in mind that as I see we must be the most extreme forum members, regardind to training...

Hee, he, hee, hee....

quietanswer · 10-23-2000, 03:39 PM

most extreme? tell that to my nearly broken thumb, and my friend's blackened eye.

boy. I caught him in the face with a helluva redondo. we were taping the fight too.. it looks like an "obi-wan beheading" move.

Underdog · 10-23-2000, 04:33 PM

Welcome Dwayne to the hardcore members fight club.

The first rule is...

Chad W. Getz · 10-23-2000, 11:56 PM

You do NOT talk about Fight Club. Rule # 2 IS...

quietanswer · 10-24-2000, 02:00 PM

that movie should have been an hour longer.

i guess we all related.

quietanswer · 10-27-2000, 06:58 PM

hey underdog,

how you doing bro? i was curious if you remember the model/name of the mask you got from sphinx..so I can call them on the phone and ask about ordering a couple..

it's appreciated..

Underdog · 10-27-2000, 09:11 PM

I've called them. Tell that you want the leather helmet with the removable steel cage; the one padded on top, they will know.

Right now the price is 130.000 italian liras, that would meant roughly 45 us$; I don't know about shipping and handling.

I've joined a Boxing Gym hoping to polish mi hand strikes; right now I'm looked with suspect; I feel that briefly someone will ask me to spar, just to see if the guy from Ruas Vale Tudo is tough enough for the place....

In doubt I will elbow and headbutt, hopefully covering my escape...LMFAO!

quietanswer · 10-29-2000, 03:34 PM

right on, and thanks.

Chad W. Getz · 10-31-2000, 01:11 AM

So Underdog, do they charge you at the gym? Sounds like something I've been thinking about.

Dwayne, let me know how mask is when it gets in. The price is the cheapest I've seen on the market.

quietanswer · 10-31-2000, 01:28 PM

I'm not going to be able to order it til the 17th..seems I'm being sent to atlanta for training.

not of the "getting beat with big assed sticks" kind..the programmer/developer kind.

which will be fun..I haven't seen Atlanta women yet.
