KingOfMetal Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 This is a simple piece of market research that I am conducting for work. Â If your local High Street sports retailer stocked MMA clothing (such as Tapout, Hayabusa, Bad Boy, Dethrone, Deathclutch etc.), would you buy it from their instead of shopping online for it? Â Feel free to add any comments, no names will be passed in this research, all I ask is if you do leave a comment, please keep it clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottT07 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If there wasn't much difference in price and it was good quality stuff, then why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yes, they sell it in store and the prices are excellent, which is why I buy from them. Â As usual, it all comes down to pricing. If a highstreet retailer can offer the same prices as online retailers then I'd buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Atkins Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Do enough people do MMA to make it worthwhile? Â Is it a proper sports shop or just somewhere like JJB or Allsports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Excuse my lack of grammar on this one. Â I found its 50/50 I have bought mma shorts, grappling gloves, boxing gloves, groin protector, shin guards, hand wraps and t-shirts from various shops in town I mainly used Sports Direct, as we only have 4 sports shops in town two independent shops DW Gym and Sports Direct. Â Unfortunatly the grappling gloves, boxing gloves and groin protector were all lonsdale and have broken in some way, the hand wraps are the only one's that have stood the test of time (6 months) and i have to take them back twice due to defects (a cig burn and the velcro was on the wrong side). Â I have recently bought a pair of 14oz Boxing Gloves from Argos some Reebok ones for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
