I need to get boxing-type wrist wraps, and I can't find them anywhere. I've been to Emart, Homeplus, and Big Ten, and all I've seen is some weird single-band kind. What I want should look like approximately like this:

Anyone know where I can find these, hopefully close to the yellow line?

Find a boxing gym in your area and buy them there.

I tried, but they don't sell them. Seemed weird to me, but I thought maybe that was normal here or something?

check out www.isami-seoul.com
You might need some help with the Korean, but I'm pretty sure they have what you need.

I've got a pair of those. I got them from my 권투장 when I was studying boxing. Just go to the neighborhood 권투장 and say, "권투 손 밴드 있어요?" I don't know if that is the right term, but they should understand what you mean.

I've been looking for a boxing gym here... I have wraps and want a place to use them! Anyone know one or a few boxing gyms in Seoul?

How about 12 oz gloves with a metal rod in them so you can make a fist?

I don't know where in Seoul you live, but here is a map from Naver with a listing of a few places in central Seoul:

http://map.naver.com/?level=6&lat=37.571238&lng=127.0068076&query=6raM7Yis7J6l&menu=location&type=SITE_1&boundary=126.8912445%3B37.5084967%3B127.1221779%3B37.6338644&inBound=on&stab=SITE_1%3B1&siteOrder=804674380&queryRank=1&mapMode=0&enc=b64


If that doesn't cover your area, then you can move the map to you area. It will automatically list the "권투장" in your area. Alternatively, you could go around your neighborhood and look for signs saying "권투" or "복싱".

Good luck finding a place. And note that most places don't have English signs or English speakers working there.

does anyone know where I can find 200 inch semi elastic hand wraps? I normally use 200 or 180 inches... but the ones they sell here seem to be half that...

also, from what I can see, thai gear seems to be pretty expensive in Korea, despite being a lot closer to Thailand. Anyone know a store with good prices? Any of the standard brands are fine.... so fairtex/twins/windy etc
