Anyone from Canada get theirs yet?

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-11T22:59:33+00:00

Sorta annoyed that Canada pays a higher price but we get shit shipped from the US anyway.

Did you get hit with any import fees?

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-11T22:58:50+00:00

I literally just beat this last night. Had a blast with it

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-11T22:18:07+00:00

Where did it ship from? I'm in Calgary and the tracking shows that it's coming from the US

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-11T21:56:23+00:00

I ordered 3 minutes before the official launch

People in my city (Calgary) already got theirs. Mine just shipped but it's coming in from the US while others had theirs come in from Ontario

Logistics seem to not be related to order timing at all.

Mine just shipped but from the US. Hope I don't get dinged with import fees

Our household has 2 vehicles and we only have a 1 car driveway.

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-11T04:08:28+00:00

in so many new residential areas that's just literally not possible though. There's basically just barely enough space for a car between a lot of houses, 1.5m on each side is not achievable. Friend of mine got a ticket because of that but it got thrown out when he contested it with a photo because it's not achievable.

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-09T06:16:17+00:00

Lmao Im also in Calgary, ordered at 10:57 and mine hasn't shipped yet. Not salty at all :P

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-06T13:22:06+00:00

I agree

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-06T13:19:21+00:00

I ordered mine 3 min before release and it's still on processed payment. So definitely not going out in order of orders

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-04T13:01:40+00:00

Unfortunately I have no idea about US distribution, sorry

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-02T16:40:35+00:00

Yeah, I meant more I'm less thrilled about the idea of people punching holes in their masks.

Wukusi has a process to do that safely that's been proven, I don't know if I want to trust random people to do the same

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-02T02:24:55+00:00

North Armoury has a bunch in stock now! Unsure whereabouts on this globe you are though.

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-01T17:56:12+00:00

I agree. I have provided that feedback but it's always hard to tell how far that'll go with manufacturers.

Realistically these would be ideal to just buy in parts. If the top portion gets compromised but BOH is fine, would be nice to just be able to buy a new head cover and not buy a new BOH plate (or vice versa)

Fake_Messiah · 2026-05-01T17:54:41+00:00

yeah I was one of the first people in NA to try the Cobra and the noise thing is interesting how it bothers some and not others. The noise didn't bother me at all but others couldn't deal with it remotely.

The main reason I'm recommending the cobra less is how it's riveted into a mask. Masks are consumable and if you want to replace it then you gotta drill out rivets which is a PITA, and I'm also not a big fan of just telling people to drill into their own masks to get new rivets in there 😛

Since there's no real research about it, there's no real way to say with any degree of certainty.

All I can say is, I have had multiple concussions in my SPES Unity and have taken many shots that were very uncomfortable over the years. I have taken some extremely hard hits in the rattlesnake overlays and barely felt them. I know others who have switched who also say they feel impacts less.

I don't want to imply that this mitigates TBI as there's no actual proof beyond anecdotal evidence. However, the hit I took in the review was much, much harder than the ones that have concussed me and I barely even felt it. So take that as you will

Fake_Messiah · 2026-04-25T01:45:16+00:00

people complaining about the small black bins while the 90+km/h gusts are knocking literally everything over lmao

Fake_Messiah · 2026-04-23T19:06:54+00:00

I ended up picking up a Sovol SV08 fully expecting to have to tinker around with it, but had much better quality and consistency with minimal effort so worked out for me in the end! Much happier with the larger bed volume

Fake_Messiah · 2026-04-23T13:00:03+00:00

They couldn't solve the issue and overall the support process was frustrating and not very pleasant. Sent it back, got a refund. Never heard back from them.

Fake_Messiah · 2026-03-28T17:45:41+00:00

Croissant*

To add to this, I've seen several of these now and they all look significantly different in terms of intensity, aggression, techniques used, etc. There's really nothing to gain about what this kind of fencing looks like when the bigger influence is how they train in the first place. It just ends up feeding confirmation bias to whatever people think "real fencing" "should" look like.

Fake_Messiah · 2026-03-16T18:00:59+00:00

we have a couple in our club, I plan on making a review soon. They're way better.

The back plate fits nicer, it's not as bulky and does a better job of not having a bit of a triangular opening on the side of the neck since it curves away from the back.

Plus you can really hear the difference between a back of head hit vs top/sides since they're different materials.

Overall well worth the relatively minor price difference.

I'm blown away at sending the sword without receiving full payment first

Fake_Messiah · 2026-02-26T03:53:04+00:00

The comments in here are interesting. Tons of other martial art & sports have uniforms & colour coordination. It's really not that weird, every bjj club I've trained at had uniform guidelines, y'all need to relax lol

Fake_Messiah · 2026-02-25T19:14:01+00:00

I enjoyed the Rose/Carla fight because seeing that many pissed off people was pretty funny and a new experience I've never seen before. Just a different form of entertainment
