I have reached the point in my martial arts training where my teacher has asked me to begin sparring.

As such, I need some sparring equipment. I can get some through my school, but they are asking $60 - $80. A bit out of my price range at the moment.

Anyone know where I can get decent quality, but affordable sparring gear on the web?

I tried E-Bay, and the results were less than satisfactory. I ruled out the vast majority of auctions because I'm so large, the sizes were inadequate.

I really only need footgear and headgear. Even though kicks are very much allowed, we don't wear any torso protection.

Any tips would be much appreciated!
