It’s that time of year – the Christmas Tree is erected, the turkey is bought and then you have to start on the Xmas pressies! Well, do not fear, for we’ve got some top ideas for stocking fillers for the martial artist in your life and all are for under £10.

Blitz Sport Foam Nunchaku
Perfect for both kids and adults who want to practice their nunchaku skills, Blitz’s foam nunchaku feature a safety cord instead of a chain. Though foam, they’re of a firm construction thanks to the rigid PVC inner core. They’re also easy to wipe clean. I own a couple of pairs myself and find they’re great for practicing without running the risk of injuring yourself like you would if you made contact using the wooden nunchaku or telescopic nunchaku. They’re great for practicing kata and also for light sparring when properly armoured up with a face shield. They’re available in black, blue and red colour ways.

Tatami Socks
Socks are often one of those Christmas gifts that dads expect, but what he won’t expect is Tatami branded socks, which he’s sure to love if he’s a Jiu-Jitsuka! Not just for blokes, the Tatami socks come in a number of styles, including ankle socks and trainer socks, with a variety of designs to choose from. The ultimate Xmas present but with a twist!
Blitz Inner Gloves
Great for wearing under bag gloves or boxing gloves, Blitz’s Inner Gloves are an alternative to hand wraps to help protect your hands and reduce the likelihood of abrasions and blisters. They can also keep your gloves smelling fresher with the inner gloves soaking up your sweat rather than directly making contact with your hand inside the glove.

Tatami Finger Tape
If the person you’re buying a gift for does any type of grappling sport, be it Judo, BJJ, Ju-Jitsu, Sambo, Catch or Wrestling, there’s a good chance they’ve needed to use finger tape at one time or another to help support their digits to prevent finger/knuckle pain or to help with recovery after injuring their fingers. Having a tin of Tatami finger tape lying around is often a welcome addition to any grappler’s arsenal.
