Jika-tabi are the Japanese boots that have the split-toe. I hear they are really comfortable and allow you greater grip.
I don't really want to order them off the internet. Someone suggested martial arts stores. How much do they cost? Does anyone have a pair, and if you do are they comfortable?
Where can I buy "jika-tabi"?
These are also known as Tabbi boots and you can get them here. http://www.martialartsmart.net/16-0807.h...

They have a store finder and prices on different sizes.
Reply:They are comfortable, but lack much arch support. The grip is why Japanese high-iron guys always wear them. They shouldn't be expensive, I paid about 3000 yen for a pair when I lived in Japan. They were invented in about 1930, so the idea that actual ninja ever wore them is false.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of sturdy rope darts?
Anyone know an online martial arts store that is not a rip off. I'm looking for a set of rope darts and a nice chain whip. They both must be capable to hold weight for climbing.

Try this site: http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ for information.
They have a forum and ask there. A few actually use the weapons.
Sorry, I do not.

Does anyone have a pair of "jika-tabi"? Are they comfortable, where do I get them, and any problems with them?
I'm looking at buying a pair of jika-tabi, and I would like some information about them. Jika-tabi are the shoes that are split-toed like this: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/s...
I have some questions about them:
1) Where can I get them? I'm not looking forward to getting them off the internet, but someone suggested local Martial Arts stores. Would a local Martial Arts Store have them?
2) Does anyone have a pair of them? What are they like? Do they feel weird? Are they comfortable? I read somewhere that they keep you more alert because they help with blood circulation.
3) Can I wear them to school, like this: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h155/s... If I start wearing them to school, would that be cool? Can I excercise in them, like trail running or something? I want to get use out of them.
4) If I get them, what clothes would go with them? I don't want to stick out in a negative way.
Thanks.

They are unlike any other shoes for sure. They take a little bit to get comfortable as you have to get used to the toe positioning. Once you get used to them though, they're not too bad.
It's fun to climb ropes in them as you can semi-grab with your feet.
You can exercise or do whatever you want in them. They really have no instep though, so it's almost like going barefoot. They hurt to run distances in.
You get get them anywhere.

Wear them like you would boots if you want. They are going to stand out though, just because of the toe - especially to women. You know how they love shoes!

Martial arts store in Metro Manila?
I don't know of full service martial arts store in Metro Manila. The only place I have found that carries a lot of gear is listed under Musical Instruments in the Manila Yellow Pages. It is in Quiapo and the only Music store that is also listed as a Sporting Goods store.
Martial arts store in Metro Manila?
you can go to the K-1 Store in Gilmore avenue:
(take Ortigas avenue going to Xavier, just go straight. go past the intersection with a gas station on your right, %26amp; then as you pass the intersection look to your right. the K-1 Store is there.)
or, you can to to this place in Libis:
(it's just before the entrance of Eastwood. take C5 going to Katipunan, %26amp; as you approach Honda Cars there stay to your right. there are banners that point to that shop, they have gear there as well as a training center.)
