You can order ANY of the items shown in the TaeKwon-Do Promotions on-line store from us - we will match the price on the webstore AND not charge you ANY postage! So if you spot anything you would like to buy from the on-line shop, either print off or write down the details - including the item description and cost, fill in one of our equipment order forms and leave the rest to us!
