gear questions

[Satori Science]

I have seen the "butterfly rings" or something to that effect advertised in the mags over the last few years, they are metal interlocked rings with bearing that are used for bridge training but I haven't been able to find a set for sale. Anyone know a reputable site that has them for sale. I hoped I had jsut missed them on the MAM site.

cheers

We sell traditional 'iron' rings (http://www.martialartsmart.net/45-42m.html), but not 'butterfly rings'. 'Butterfly rings' were invented by the company that sells them. I assume they combine the training principles of iron rings with rattan hoops. If it's a traditional training device, it's quite secular. But then again, there are plenty of non-traditional training devices nowadays, so whatever floats your boat, eh? The only place you can get them is through the distributor, who used to advertise with our magazine competitors.
