How about this?

Not sure. It seems like you already have a good setup. Try and visit some of the local schools and see if teachers would be interested in trying out your products for training purposes for like a week. See what they like an don't like about it and you'll have a way to cater to them. Also, find out what their their suppliers charge, and try to price your products just under their suppliers. Hopefully that will bring you good business.

If schools are hosting tournaments/competitions, put in some money and effort in helping them setup in exhange for advertising your products. Setup a kiosk displaying all of your products, and offer schools deals if they choose to purchase in bulk. These are just some ideas. Hope it helps.

one of the things for me to continuing to buy at a certain place is that i'm able to get a whole sale account for my business. So, maybe you can set up your site as a retale program, then also have a whole sale program. For customers to obtain a whole sale account, they'll usually have to show some sort of proof of a established business (tax id number, business card, website...ect).

Having some items sold in bulk is a good idea.
Things I usually try and buy in bulk are Mouth peaces, HandWraps and I usually try and buy on a special for sparring mitts if they are selling 2 pairs at a discounted price. Or 2 setts of head gear. But sence I teach both boxing and kickboxing, when I buy equipment, I look for the USA boxing approved gear.

Another idea , that would establish your site a bit, is maybe having it posted on other sites as well and give the option of letting other business's do the same on yours. Like post a Favorit Link area or Related Link. Maybe give a option of added other peoples line of Product. Like for instance, if you added my book to your line of product,then I add your business on to my link page or add to my product area.
