Reviews
Owner Has a bad attitude and treats his customers poorly. Suggest taking your business else where. His prices are also way high for the knock offs he sales in there. Then his actual quality products are way overpriced as well.
Not sure why the reviews are so poor. I was immediately greeted and shown to the gear I was looking for. I was able to try on several different sizes to find a good fit, and the woman helping me was pleasant and jovial. The price of the gear was a LOT better than I was finding online. Overall very pleased!
Large percentage of inventory is fancy and decorative knives. The rest is decent inventory. good quality product. Unfortunately it also comes with a price tag. If you're needing something in Pitch and cannot wait three weeks to have it shipped. This place will save your life.
I don't know why this company has such negative reviews on the internet. The lady that helped me today was so kind and helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the products. Simply read the signs. Don't lean on the glass, ask for assistance to hold something, no returns, only exchanged without a receipt. It's not hard to follow the rules of an establishment that sells weapons. This company has been around forever and is successful for a reason. So many people try to take advantage of small businesses. Obviously this isn't walmart, so don't go in expecting to walk all over the company. I had a very nice experience here. I will be coming back and would recommend it to anyone.
Worst experience as a customer ever. Rudest staff, they lie about their product and talk it up, and convince you to spend $300 on a switchblade. Then when it's in your pocket LITERALLY a week later the spring breaks, so you bring the knife back WITH YOUR RECEIPT. Before you can even finish your sentence about what happened they finish it for you telling you it happens all the time, and quality wise basically that they're bought off of wish.com! THERE IS NO REFUNDS OR WARRANTIES. THEY GOT EXTREMELY RUDE WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS UPSET. DO NOT TAKE YOUR BUSINESS HERE. THEY ARE RIPPING ALL OF US OFF!!
I saw this place and thought it was going to be some lame run down wannabe store. Then realized why they say to not judge something upon looking at it. This mans selection was not short... He knew exactly what he was talking about. He had extensive knowledge of the products , how to handle them , what types , and where to get other items not carried in stores typically. If you need a place to go for martials arts hes got it. You need self defense, security items even purses with holsters in them hes got it. I promise you with my word if you pass this store up when you see it. You will truly miss out on a unique experience.
Nice store front for martial arts supply. Wide variety of products offered, great place to try on uniforms. If you don't like to order online, it's worth the drive for the Kansas City area.
Bad advice given for self defense options - the suggestions for my girlfriend were absurd as the products they suggested for her would be out of reach or easily removed when attacked by an assailant in my educated opinion. By the way, a good resource for self-defense product reviews would be "hard2hurt" on youtube pros and cons of different items are explained. I myself didn't care for the owner's personality. Prices are 2x what you pay on the internet for every item or more. I tried to give them another chance today, after the lady there yesterday said to call today when the person who could answer my question would be working not a good start... and here's an example of the owner/specialist's personality that I disliked from their answer today: When I inquired if they provided a service for a a type of item, the response was not, "I'm sorry we don't do that for that type of item" , instead it was more along the lines of "We do that for blanks." I asked if they considered my item a "blank". The response was basically, "uhh, that item is not a blank." Not a "sorry no", but basically saying "duh your stupid". Just so you know: they do not consider machetes to be knives. That is not an obvious answer, as a machete is definitely type of knife in almost everyone's mind. Though they did derive from swords used by Spaniards in South America and from other swords in other cultures around the world. In common parlance though, most would describe a machete as a type of knife.
Was very nice at first, but got very angry when I price matched some of his stuff and found out he was charging near 100% markup from online stores. I like local and don't expect them to match online but %80 + markup is too much. I asked if he could come down on his price since it was cheaper elsewhere and he said no. I then browsed some more as I was interested in other stuff. When I asked a question about something else he told me I had slapped him in the face and kicked my daughter and I out of the store.
Good selection but they very obviously do not like kids there. Which is a shame because both of my kids are currently training in martial arts and are well-behaved. Unfortunately, they are the only store like it in the area. Still would rather order things online than go back.
