Tiny Rings

[Mr Hurley]

I'm looking around for some close-up rings and stumbled upon Tenyo's Tiny Rings. Granted, they are a little over 2 inches in diameter each and really tough to find. Are these worth acquiring? Do they have the weld marks? Or is it better to find a set of Ninja Rings, even though they are twice the size of Tiny Rings?

Tiny Rings are an excellent set for close-up but I wouldn't pay a fortune for them.

They are gold toned and Tenyo Miracle Ring is silver toned and I believe the same exact size ring so could be used together for a terrific routine.

There is an excellent routine for Tiny Rings on YouTube. He even made a nice stand for the rings. I think that video was made right after Tiny Rings came out.

The bottom line is that, if you can get them at a reasonable price, grab them! Otherwise, an alternate set is a good idea.

Dragonfly rings are likely much easier to find. Pretty cheap as I remember. Personally, I think the Ninja size are fine for close up and I wouldn't go smaller, but YMMV.

There are no visible welds in "Tiny Rings" and there is a video of Suzuki performing it on DVD 3 in Tenyoism.

They're not cheap rings: they're heavy and the weight helps with the moves.

Thank you for the good information! The information kept getting better and better and the non-welded rings pretty much sold me on it.

Looks like I'll need to save up for some Tiny Rings for the future!
