Back in February, I got an email from the folks over at MMAOpinion.com asking if I would be interested in reviewing the KD Elite XL Curved Body Shield.  Despite the fact that I havent had a lot of time to get new posts/reviews up lately, I felt I would be remiss if I passed them up.  I’ve had the shield in my possession for about a month now, and I think I’m ready to share my findings with all of you.

First of all, the KD Elite XL Curved Body Shield is exactly what the name implies.  It is a body shield.  It is curved.  And it is fairly large.  This thing was meant to take your more powerful strikes  – primarily kicks and knees but punches are just fine as well.  Having a straightforward purpose, however, is not enough to make a good product.  We need to really get down to the nitty gritty.

I promised that there would be more posts this month and I meant it.  To follow up my review of the mouthguard last week, I was sent a pair of Combat Sports Gel Handwraps from the folks at Boxing Depot.com.  Now, I am a striker by nature and by training, so this was right up my alley.  Also, I’m not generally a fan of gloves or handwraps – I tend to train bare-handed (yeah yeah, I know).  So it takes a lot for a product like this to impress me.  That said, I was definitely impressed.

A few weeks ago the folks over at Elite MMA.com sent me another goodie to review, the Power Gel-Nano Mouthguard.  Reviewing something like a mouthguard is pretty tricky, so I called in some assistance.  To test this bad boy out, I had the help of Joe Cunningham of Yamasaki Woodbridge.  Read on to see the verdict.

About a month ago, I got an email from the folks over at Elite MMA.com asking if I would be interested in reviewing the KD Elite Knee and Elbow Strike Bag.  I know I’ve said before that I love freebies, and so I stayed true to myself and agreed.  What can I say?  I am a simple creature.  Anyhow, I’ve seen what there is to be seen with this bag, and I’ve finally finished evaluating it.
