Century is Century is, by far, the most concrete source for martial arts equipment. I have attempted using other websites such as Sakura Martial Arts and all have failed to provide the quality of product as promptly and completely. It should be noted, however, that I have had some shipping complications, though I have no doubts that I will be pleased by the products when they arrive.

Very Poor Customer Service I ordered the book Bruce Lee in Black Belt Magazine several weeks ago. It arrived with the cover almost completely torn off and it was not damaged in shipping, it was in this condition from the publisher. After many emails for over a week now, with the Acquistion Marketing and VIP Customer Service Reps promising to replace the book, a new one has not been shipped and I doubt they plan to do so.

Constant stock issues with many items Constant stock issues with many items. Before taking a customers money and making yourself look like a fool, you better get a date of when it will be restocked, but then again that date will move around on you as well.

Worst supply company for m.a, EVER ! Worst supply company for m.a. of all time ! They sent me defective sparring boots, then, Jake Merrill, a supervisor, refused to admit it was defective ! Finally, they were supposed to issue me a credit of $ 42.84. Its now MArch 31st and still no refund, two months later. He then debits my card a SECOND TIME, then yells and shouts at me when I complained to him, then, he hangs up on me. Century owes me 85.68 and I have no idea if I am going to get a refund and when. Called their office a third time and they cannot get a hold of a supervisor. Horrible, horrible, company, avoid them at all costs ! Master R.J. Smith, 7th Dan ITF, (previous customer since 1996).

Grand Master of Instructor Support I began buying all my student's martial arts gear in 1999. Since then till now, Century has always exceeded in service, quality, and over all professionalism. That makes them the Grand Master of Instructor Support to me, and I would think to every other instructor.
