Yep they are very expensive. at the time I had my DoJo The tax number is the only thing that saved me. When I went to Century MA, there in DelCity, I bought almost 5k worth of stuff, but got a discount because of opening a new buisness account with them. Of course that was back around '95.
all the same, I'll check with a buddy up in Tulsa, He may still have some of my old MA training stuff, Pads, Kickshields, etc, That you can use.
