He made us feel as if we were the only persons in the room! He also took his time getting to know his clients.

I rarely give out a 1 star review unless I feel like the business truly deserved it, but this experience was completely unacceptable. 6 months ago, I ordered 2 pairs of winning gloves. The website stated the items were on backorder for 5 months. After waiting out the 5 months, I emailed winningUSA for an update, but they never replied to me. Since I paid using PayPal, I eventually contacted them to open a dispute just to ask about the status of my gloves. Finally winningUSA emailed me back. Instead of offering an apology or an update, they told me that because I open a dispute, my order was being cancelled and I was officially blacklisted from ordering from them again. I honestly couldn't believe it. I paid a thousand dollars just to get treated like a peasant. I actually like winning gear, but this behavior was completely out of pocket. I hope they change how they treat their customers in the future. If you are thinking about ordering from them, be prepared to buy your item and wait who knows how long to actually get your glove assuming they don't cancel your order first. read more

Had the honor of meeting @winning_usa Winnings Boxing gear only distributor in California, Kazumichi and his wife Jun. If you want legit winning gears, this is where you get them. Meeting Kazumichi was like meeting a wise life guru that had experience and knowledge to share. He told me, "No one is above or below us. We are all equal. Doesn't matter if you're Floyd Mayweather, Canelo, or Tyson. I respect their achievement in boxing but behind all that, he is normal person like us. YOU are boss of your own life. So go do what you can today." So a friendly reminder. YOU are boss of your own life. P.s. Couldn't get any winning gears. Except winnings punch mitts. I've used some top reviewed mitts. They are not close to winnings at all. Quality and they're super light. You can bet I will get more. Gloves 16 oz were out of stock. But just meeting Kazumichi himself was a great experience overall. Going into the Showroom to see all the other winning gears is better than going to Disneyland. Fight me. PP.S. Don't call him, I repeat DON'T call him. He doesn't like phone calls. read more

Kazumichi has so much wisdom and story telling that you can just sit down and listen to him for hours, he made it a point to let me know that it doesn't matter if I'm a celebrity like mike Tyson or just a average joe, he respects everybody all the same, he quoted to me "no one should be above you and no one should be under you, we are all the same". He reminds me of my grandfather , stubborn on the outside but full of love on the inside. I drove all the way from San Francisco to visit the shop, with zero sleep and tired from the trip, him and his wife made me feel comfortable and being there seemed refreshing and almost spiritual like i was standing on holy ground. Even though he hates having to sell winning products (it's a long story, he'll fill you when you visit the shop) he loves helping people and he'll set up an appointment to help the customer, not for a sale but to genuinely help people, he even told me that he could care less about advertising or convincing someone to buy his products. He also asked me to take a picture with him , I was humbled by his request as he has so many pictures of famous boxers posted on his walls but he still took the time to make me feel special by wanting to take a picture with me. Yes winning products are very expensive but the encounter with kazumichi and his wife was well worth the money. read more

Wasn't sure if the showroom was still open but it is! I emailed Kazumichi, the owner, and he got back to me within a few hours. You must make an appointment to visit the showroom as he does not have regular business hours. As many other reviews say, DO NOT call him as he prefers communicating over email. Also, as mentioned below this is not a business transaction for Kazumichi. He enjoys sharing life stories and getting to know you before showing you his Winning inventory. If you do not have the time I recommend buying from the winning usa website as it will cost the same exact price (Kazumichi includes the shipping fee as he pays it to get his inventory shipped to the US) We spent about an hour and a half with Kazumichi and had a great time chatting and looking at his photographs. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

Kazumichi is amazing! If you are a combat sports fan, you will be happy to come try on some gear and just talk boxing history with Kazumichi. read more

So, I'm starting boxing. Despite what people say about Winning being the Gucci gloves for a beginner, I figure, if i spend only 100$ more than a pair for cletos, I may as well use these for my training. I'm sure i'll grab a pair of sparring cletos once i really get into it. I read the online reviews about Kazumichi not picking up his phone calls. Yes the phone number on his yelp "works" but he promptly tells you to keep in touch with him via e-mail boxing@winning-usa.com He also says he checks his e-mail frequently/daily. He is a very busy, yet humble, man. Apparently he usually only meets people at noon at the address stated above. I'm going to e-mail him and hope that he can meet me tomorrow. Edit update: Went in. Hes on the 3rd floor of the building, street facing unit. His room is decorated with photos of himself and wife with the likes canelo, tyson, and other known names. He loves to talk about philosophical topics. Hes got a ton of sass for his age. This man has been around the block and his motive is to encourage you to chase happiness rather than money. He is low in popular stock. I went in for a 14oz black and settled for white. (I'm cool with white. Itll really show the bloodstains) First thing he said when I walked in, "hey why u spend so much money?" He says unironically. "All the best boxers use everlast." I'm going to use these 14s for pads and light work. Probably buy a 16s for heavy bag and sparring. His wife (in the picture) also wants anyone to punch floyd Mayweather in the face anytime they see him cuz it took Mayweather a whole year to pay off a 20,000 tab. If you want authentic winnings, this place is the only place I'd trust to get authentic ones. (Altho there might be others) read more

100 stars for this place...Kazumichi is a legend, he is like something straight out of a movie...he has an awesome sense of humor and takes the time to get to know his customers...he has great stories and advice...just don't call the store to make an appointment..email!!! read more

I emailed Mr. Kazumichi at "boxing@winning-usa.com" and he replied within a matter of moments. He was very professional with me and took the time out of his day to have a conversation with me, which I really enjoyed! His wife Mrs. Junko is lovely and helped when choosing some gear. I paid $657 and I left with a pair of MS-6OOB and a FG-2900 both in blue, and a pair of NG-2 knuckle pads. I will go back and purchase a CPS-500 in blue to complete my set of Winning gear! I would recommend Winning-USA to purchase any Winning gear, as his shop is the only official licensed shop in the United States to sell Winning gear. Visit his website at www.Winning-USA.com, you can get the gear shipped to your house if you don't want to visit his shop. read more

Kazumichi is an honest and sincere person. Understand that he means well because he does. Thank you Kazumichi. read more

Let me start off by saying that Kazumichi and his wife Junko are really down to earth. Kazumichi will share some good stories with you. Make an appointment before you go. He doesn't like to answer the phone. Prices are high, so before you go don't expect something cheap. You get what you pay for. Winning Boxing gear is top of the line equipment used by all the top pros. I loved my experience with Kazumichi. It was a blessing to meet him. read more

Ordered gloves (MS-400) online. Had read the shipping from winning USA takes longer than other sellers, but I received my gloves 8 days after ordering. Timeline: 1 day after ordering received an email confirmation and billing charge, 5 days after ordering I received a text with shipping information (was still in Japan), and 8 days after ordering I received my gloves! Great service and fast delivery. I had emailed about visiting in person, but never received a response. read more

Kazumichi is one of the coolest people you can ever meet, he is very helpful and informative about his products. His wall is full of pictures of professional boxers he has helped during the years. Be sure to not call his phone because he constantly gets bombarded with phone calls. He prefers responding via email. I would go back to him any day. Highly recommended. read more

Winning USA is the go to supplier of Winning Japan products in the US. I have nothing but respect for this business. Wish I could visit the showroom someday and meet Kazumichi. It is a pleasure to deal with Kazumichi. read more

Does anyone know this Legends email so I can contact him to go pick up headgear in person? Thank you very much in advance!

Kazumichi is great, but you need to respect him as a person first. DO NOT treat him like a salesperson (you shouldn't treat anyone like that). I bought a couple of stuff few years ago and I learned a lot about life while talking with him. He also told me some very cool stories! read more

Kazumichi is one of a kind. Email him, do not call and support true genuine winning by getting your gear from him.

Kazumichi is one of the nicest genuine persons I have ever met. As one of the other yelp reviewers indicated, it is very easy for Kazumichi to come off as rude over the phone when in fact he is the nicest person ever! I happened to be in Kazumichi's store while he received a phone call from a customer. There was a bit of miscommunication between the caller and Kazumichi. Ultimately Kazumichi became upset because the caller didn't introduce himself by name (the way one would in person) after Kazumichi introduced himself. Kazumichi thought the caller was being disrespectful and rude so the call ended up going sideways. Kazumichi absolute hates using the phone and prefers communication by email. If you're interested in making a purchase, make sure you email him and set an appointment so he can make himself available for you. Your experience with him and his wife will be a great one. The in person transactions with Kazumichi are unlike any other. He is very personable and will make you feel special. Not because he's trying to sell you a product but because he's that kind of a person. read more

Blessed by Kazamich. Best boxing supply for winning gear ever. Make sure you're on time or else's you will not be served.

The best equipment for boxing in the business hands down. Better protection than anything else I've ever used.

Best place to buy authentic gear, just a heads up have a lot of patience kazumichi is an old but knowledgeable man he'll share a lot of good stories. If your in a hurry to just buy winning this is not the place for u(come with and open mind). All in all great gear and kazumichi is a legend. read more

Fantastic Boxing/MA products. A bit pricey, but the products last a very long time and I still use my Winning product practice gloves for over five years. read more

What others said above. Kazumichi is very nice and interesting. His story is complicated. He isn't your typical "store". You respect him, and he respects you. And yes, he does not like the phone. It's not you; it's him. If you listen, he will tell you his story. 'been there twice, and enjoyed my visits tremendously. Would buy from him again and again. read more

A very humble man. What more can I say. If your I to boxing then you know who kazumichi is. The man knows a lot about the sport. I mean a lot! He is very kind and respectful, but also EXPECTS everyone to be the same. Do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT bother the man with phone calls. Nuff said! I'd give him 10 stars just because I really appreciated his company. And about the gear.....if you got the dough then by all means go for it. The best money can buy, for sure. read more
